After years of this spot being on my to-do list we finally tried it out and it was pretty good, just pricier than I expected. The highlight of the night was definitely the charcuterie. It was one of the more well thought out and generous charcuteries I've personally had. Service was great and the ambience was quaint, although I didn't quite understand why seating outside was prioritized over inside, regardless it was a cool spot with authentic vibes. Main entrees were decent, but nothing overwhelmingly memorable, wine list and cocktails were certainly on point. Having the parking lot available in downtown really helped for an easy night.

Had been wanting to try for quite awhile as good Italian in NC is a struggle and... Still don't know since we didn't get any pasta dishes 🙄. Food: Scallops were cooked perfectly, soft, tender, not chewy and the truffle sauce was rich and flavorful without overwhelming the scallops. The had the bread with burrata and tomatoes, delish. My daughter had the salmon, excellent - fabulous sear, juicy, well seasoned. I was super excited to see lamb shank and it was good, but not great. Want as tender and fall-off-the-bone as I had hoped, a bit too fatty as well. Overall good meal, tho I guess I'll have to go back and actually try a pasta dish.

My wife and I were staying at the Longleaf Hotel and Lounge, in for the Pearl Jam Dark Matter Tour 2025. We asked Sherry if she could recommend a place to eat. Sherry told us Mulino Italian Kitchen, which is right across the street. My wife looked to see if she could order a meal to pickup, which she did. I have to say once we went there plans changed. The staff were so accommodating, when we decided to eat the meal there at the bar. They changed everything from takeout to a wonderful dinner setup. It wasn't just take takeout and put it on a plate. No, it was a nice Italian meal presentation. I was so impressed that I dropped off my wife as planned at the Levono Center in Raleigh. I returned to Mulino. If you are ever in the area, I highly recommend you plan a visit here, sit at the bar, Ben,Tim, or Brandan will be glad to see you. (Tell them Ed from CT recommend you stop by) If you are like me, I like to make sandwiches and sit and eat food with my fingers,then I recommend Tagliere, a combination of Italian meats,cheeses,olives, some sweet peppers,and pickles. (See photo). I also recommend a Cappuccino w Black Samuca. Once again, Ben,Tim,and Brandan, great job, really enjoyed our conversations . Thank you for making this visit so memorable.
