Finally, seven months after moving to Bologna, we've found a truly traditional trattoria to return to whenever we can. Il Mulino is everything we love: excellent, plentiful food that warms the heart as well as the stomach, welcoming and attentive service; the owners are adorable. The friendly atmosphere, in the leafy suburbs, makes two provincials like us, who don't like the noise of the city center, feel right at home. The prices are more than fair for the truly excellent quality.
We'll be back soon, alone and with friends 💜

We ended up here by accident. It was the only restaurant open so late. It's far from the tourist hotspots, at the end of a cul-de-sac on the outskirts of town. We were served by a waiter who spoke English.
We asked for traditional dishes from the region. What he recommended was delicious ☺️!!!!! The kids also enjoyed themselves, even though they rarely try new things.
I highly recommend it. It's a must-see on any trip to Bologna.

An amazing place, the food was amazing and the service was personalized and the server was really kind and helpful, the prices weren't typically for tourists, and there were many local people visiting. Even without knowing Italian, we could communicate perfectly and still enjoy the experience, I'll recommend to all friends ever visiting Bologna

Concert in Bologna with my partner. Food prices at the venue were unbearable, so after the show, exhausted and on empty stomachs, at midnight we decided to call Mulino Bruciato, known for feeding hungry night owls. What can I say? The service was so kind it warmed the heart, and each dish was better than the last. The appetizer buffet was a surprise; despite the huge variety, every single item we tried was phenomenal. The cutlet was gigantic and delicious, but the balanzoni with mascarpone sauce and sausage definitely deserve a special mention; they were so good they almost brought tears to my eyes. The fried zucchini on the side were also spectacular. At the end, they even offered us some cookies, which were very welcome. We left the restaurant rolling and can't wait to return. Thank you so much for your hospitality.

I hadn't been back for many years, but I rediscovered the good flavors of the past and the kindness of the legendary Andalò and his team!! Definitely worth repeating if you find a place.

We were traveling in this area and decided to exit the highway for dinner. We stumbled upon Mulino Bruciato by chance, and it was a fantastic surprise! Excellent food, fast service, and the owner and staff were incredibly kind. We wanted a light dinner, but couldn't resist all the deliciousness floating around, so we left after enjoying the (super-stocked) appetizer buffet, an excellent local first course, and a delicious grilled meat. Highly recommended.
