MENU "Il Mulino" in New York has been voted NY’s No1 Italian restaurant for the 19th year in a row by the ZAGAT Guide to New York City, the most authoritative restaurant guide book in New York. It is one of those restaurants in New York City where reservation are very hard to come by. A sister restaurant to “Il Mulino” opens on December 19, 2003 in Roppongi Hills in Japan first. The “Il Mulino” in Tokyo consists of 102 seats in the dining area and 58 seats in the lounge area. We hope you will visit and try some of the best flavors at the “Il Mulino” in Tokyo.

Unlike the current trend of many Italian restaurants to serve small portions of food and focus on presentation and healthiness, the portions of the "Il Mulino" are manly one prepared with a “ Gutsy and Garlicky” taste. Only the best food materials are used which are seasoned with an abundance of garlic and olive oil. We strive to create a new category of food; what can be called “Fine Italian Cuisine”.

The staff is intent on providing impeccable service based upon a spirit of hospitality that will satisfy all guests. Il Mulino received a score of 24 points out of 30 for service by the ZAGAT Guide to New York City ranking it in the "very good to excellent" category. The style of service not only focuses on the guests’ tables, but also serving sauces on dishes, mixing sauces with pastas, cutting desserts and so on, in front of the guests. These services will entertain guests for a more enjoyable mealtime. Grappa is also served after meals.

The dining area decor is classical based on brown colored wood and ivory colored walls. As an interior accent, tower shaped displays heaping with wood boxes of wines and food materials, which exists at Il Mulino in New York, is reproduced, and booth seating is set along the wall. We also have a lounge creating a relaxed atmosphere for guests to enjoy conversation before and after meals. The lounge area is equipped with indirect lighting that faintly shines. As a unique selling point, a “water space” where water runs down a partition made with glass and a “fire space” with a fireplace are set in the lounge area. These will serve to fascinate guests..
