03/07/2026: I'm forced to partially edit my review from a few months ago, removing one star, because yesterday I returned to eat at Il Mulino with my lawyer and great friend, a friend of his, and my wife.
My wife and I weren't particularly pleased with the food: I had a good and original vegetarian tartare, followed by tagliatelle with porcini mushrooms that weren't very flavorful; my wife ordered veal tonné, which used lean meat, but the tuna sauce wasn't very flavorful, and there wasn't much.
When she asked for more, she was told it was "out of stock."
If I remember correctly, in December 2025, again on the recommendation of my lawyer (a great gourmet and friend), I ate at this restaurant not only with my wife, but also with my brother and his family, my guests.
They serve some Lombard dishes, which I'm not particularly fond of, even though I'm from Milan; but I found some things on the menu that I liked.
We had a wonderful time in a unique setting (a former farmhouse and/or mill). Part of the building is over 100 years old; another part (I believe used for receptions, weddings, etc.), if I understand correctly, is as old as 500. At the back, for the first time, we had a stream, which could truly house a watermill.
The place, thanks to its decor, brightness (large windows), and atmosphere, is very pleasant and not particularly noisy.
The service was good, with kind, friendly, and fast waitresses.
We tried some appetizers, some first courses (my cheese-filled ravioli were very good, with an excellent tomato sauce), and some second courses: nothing disappointed us!
Unfortunately, I can no longer drink alcohol, but they seem to have a decent cellar, although my guests tried a house wine, which seemed pleasant.
The bill was also absolutely fair (around €40/50 - €55).
The only small flaw is that the menu consists of just a few dishes, which guarantees the freshness of the ingredients, but I would have liked to have a little more variety (if possible, even with some fish dishes, which I love).
I hope Mulino dei Pini returns to its original state!
13/06/2026: After 10 seasons of nightmare kitchens aired over the years, the first thing that comes to mind is: where is the restaurant?
There's no sign; from the outside, you see a brick wall. There's a gate as if entering a house, and once you reach the center of the old mill, very beautiful and characteristic, you can't quite figure out where the restaurant's entrance is!
Everything else was perfect: the quality of the food and the service were remarkable. The wait times were normal. I loved the use of rice from Sirtori (local producers).
