    The staff at Mulino were amazing! Mikayla was amazing at describing the food and all of our options and was able to give us her recommendations! She was very attentive for our group of 8 and was able to accommodate our needs! The table was located right next to the fountain in the tent and was warm and inviting. The staff even brought out the dessert with a candle and sang to me for my birthday!

    Went for my birthday dinner, and we were not disappointed! I'd been craving a good lasagna and my goodness it was absolutely divine. When the server called it seven layers of heaven she was not joking. The cocktails were delicious. We ordered the Fibonacci and their version of an aperol sprits, both were delicious but I'd have to say the Fibonacci was our favorite. Don't skip out on desert! We had 3 since we couldn't make up our mind, creme Brulé, tiramisu, and the cannoli. All were delicious. We will definitely be returning.

    Overall, everything was good. Our appetizer (arancini) came out a little bit cool and my strip steak was overdone on the outside and very underdone on the inside.

    Thank you for your four-star review, Juliet! We're happy to hear you enjoyed your dining experience at Mulino. We're disappointed to hear the cuisine was not up to our usual five-star standards, and we look forward to impressing you during your next visit. Cheers!
