Mulino — Restaurant in Trafford

I feel so bad government NG this review but It needs to be said. The service is excellent so is the feel of the place, I so wanted this to be great food but unfortunately it was dreadful. I haven't been in here for about 2 and a half years. The first time was ok nothing to rave about. So we use Infornongor out pizzas who are excellent. But we have nowhere really for pasta etc apart from Don Giovanni which ch has been great on the occasions we've been it just feels a bit out of it where it's looking cation is. I went passed Mulinos and noticed a lunch special sign £12.99 two courses. Excellent I thought be great to give it another go. The menu was a bit strange for it but we gave it a go, I had the tubs to start and my partner she had the charcuturie board thing ( and it was a thing cheap meats and cheese with no taste) my ribs were ok but very sweet. Then for mains due to not much choice I had the pizza and she had the steak option which was served with coleslaw ??? So ordered a side of chips. We asked for rare but as it was so thin came well cooked. The pizza was soggy and flavourless one of the worst pizzas if had. I noticed a lot of people around us having pizzas but most leaving lots or taking it home. We mentioned to the server who was great. She said she'd mention it to the chef, then came back with something about how long the dough had been proofed. If it's not long enough then surely take it off the menu. We had a soft drink each and the bill was £36 which if it was good would be amazing. But it was app bad. I really wanted this to be good as we eat out aloy and it would be nice to have a good Italian to go to for pasta etc. I don't understand the reviews on here that say it's there favourite place in Urmston, either they haven't tried the likes of Proost , Inforno , Sai Surbai, Orme. Or they don't have a clue what good food is. Could it be that is was cheap lunch deal it was so bad, that shouldn't matter as if they did it right you'd be back in to try and evening meal. We were so disappointed. This place could be so good just get the food right and also maybe some new menus that don't look like they've been run over by a heard of...

Reviews are not something I do regularly. But a very recent visit to this restaurant has made be very angry. We were three ladies celebrating a late Christmas get together and also a birthday. Started ok, the peson who greeted us was a bit surly but ok. Different person, friendly, took the order. Not complicated! 1 main course and 2 from lunch menu with an extra side of dauphinoise potatoes. First course was lovely. then it all fell apart. 2nd courses came. No potatoes! When we asked, we were told they were on the way. The one main course arrived and had to be started. We then sat and watched our steak go colder. Potatoes arrived., they were COLD. Sent back, we then mentioned Hey! our steaks are now cold. Reluctantly removed. No apologies. By this time the other main course had almost finished being eaten. She had sat uncomfortably through us having to constantly go and look for staff to try to rectify the situation. So eventually reheated steaks, now no longer medium rare, and potatoes arrived. By now the first main had been eaten. She then had to sit and watch us eat an average meal. Our outing was a disaster. We couldn't sit and chat while enjoying a meal together. We tried to make the best of it, but it was spoiled. The attitude from the senior member of staff was very indifferent and almost acusery. No apology. Did not see a problem with us eating in rotation. Did not even notice. We were paid very little attention, sevice very poor, every time we had to leave the table to find some service. Like where is the side dish, my steak is going cold! So what should have been a great get together was ruined. Dont think we...

WOW, WOW, WOW! I always find Italian Restaurants can be a bit hit and miss so I was expecting the usual ‘ok’ restaurant. Boy was I wrong! This Restaurant was exceptional! Let’s start with the arrival, we were greeted with a happy smiling waitress that found us good table in the extended part of the restaurant. The restaurant itself was spotless clean and the customers were people who dressed smart showing the restaurant attracts high end clientele. The server was extremely polite and jovial which adds to the excellent atmosphere. We were given 3 menus that included a lunchtime menu, a ‘specials menu’ and the normal menu. This was obviously a large menu but had an excellent choice of meals. I started with a garlic bread with cheese which was a generous sized 12” pizza base with buffalo mozzarella cheese and garlic oil. It was delicious and made with quality ingredients. For the main course I ordered a seafood spaghetti and it was exceptional and more. The spaghetti was full of delicious seafood in a felicitous tomato sauce and the portion size was massive, so big that I wasn’t able to finish it. I’d probably say it was without doubt the most delicious seafood spaghetti I’ve eaten from a English Italian Restaurant, definitely a 10 out of 10. Not even Gordon Ramsay could have made a better spaghetti…..it was that good.

Overall, a welcoming restaurant with great staff who are polite, happy, helpful and humble, a very clean restaurant with a very talented chef that serves exceptional food as good as or even better than top...
