What a wonderful way to spend NYE! An outstanding dinner sitting poolside. The lamb shank special was out of this world delicious, as was the Tagliatelle! We started by sipping exquisite homemade limoncello and espresso martinis, and finished with a house made vanilla creme brulee. The ambience, staff, and service were top notch! Happy New Year and to a prosperous 2025!!

No one ever totally satisfies the New Years eve meal experience because of the hectic demand. BUT MULINOS DID. They were on the button on every count. Beautiful ambiance, attentive service (Ben) and wonderful food. What more could you want. My wife also introduced them to the Toasted Almond Martini , to which they rose to the occasion. Terrific evening all around. Parking. although in high demand on the 31st, is a Major advantage.

This was our first time at Mulino Italian Kitchen and Bar, food and service was excellent. It is hard to find authentic Italian in Raleigh, and their pasta was amazing. Grant, our server, went above and beyond to help us celebrate our daughter’s birthday. They even sent us an email thanking us for choosing them for our night out. I highly recommend Mulino’s for a nice dinner.

Mulino is a wonderful place for a meal! My son and I took my wife here to celebrate her birthday and we were not disappointed. The decor and ambiance in an old mill provided a great atmosphere. Our server JoElla was friendly and very knowledgeable of all the selections on the menu. My wife and son had the gnocci and I ate the Picci with scallops added. Everything was perfect! I would highly recommend Mulino to anyone.
