Excellent Italian food in the heart of Reheny Village. The menu caters for those who like meat and those who are vegetarians. There's an aubergine starter that is absolutely fantastic... The desserts are very good and there are times when they do homemade specials such as the Sicilian lemon tart and a bread and butter pudding that are exceptional... the staff also make this place a hidden gem for us.
My go to for an Italian restaurant, we've been a few times and really enjoy it. The food is beautiful and the staff are warm and attentive and give it a lovely personal touch.
I had a very good experience in the restaurant. As Italian I can say it's authentic and delicious, the service was fantastic and all my family enjoyed the food.
It's always great to find good restaurants outside the city centre. We tried Mulino out as it's just 10 minutes from home and we were pleasantly surprised with the quality of the food, the good service and nice ambience. The pizza was quite good as was the lasagne.
Dropped in for a bit of dinner and couldn’t fault it. The place itself is grand...clean, relaxed, and not too noisy so you can actually have a proper chat. Staff were sound out, friendly without being over the top. Overall, a cracking little place. Will 100% be back again.
Absolutely love this place it is an amazing restaurant. The food is always excellent and reasonably priced. There are great specials and the staff are lovely. Highly recommend.
Latest night out at this Italian restaurant. Staff always friendly, will stop at the table for a chat. Food lovely, and a good choice. Owner always a good laugh to talk to. Highly recommend this place.
A Real Gem – Exceptional Food and Service! We had an absolutely fantastic experience... The food was outstanding. The chicken wings were perfectly crispy and flavorful, the pizzas were delicious with a beautifully balanced crust and toppings, and the goat’s cheese salad was fresh and vibrant. To top it all off, the Tiramisu was heavenly... This place is a real gem. We’ll definitely be back!
