Nice try. This is an Italian restaurant only in name. The food is well below average. Soggy, oily, greasy, tasteless. You really need to rethink your food preparation and presentation. Very amateur and just not enjoyable all around. Won’t come Back. Won’t recommend.

The Lobster Pappardelle had been a great addition to the menu and has become my wife's favorite. The rack of Lamb is always amazing but I had the Scallop special this time around and was not disappointed.

This is our go to place to dine before a night at the Nashville Symphony. The food is always excellent and there are so many tasty options to chose from. The service is excellent and they get everything right timing wise so we don't feel rushed at all. Recommendations include the lasagna, bolognese, salmon oreganata, brussel sprouts, fingerling potatoes, pesto pasta -- add shrimp -yum, and so much more. Also if you are ever a large group and have trouble booking for New Years -- no problem . We are usually a group of 12 o13 and many restaurants don't want that size group without charging for a private room. No problem -- they accommodated us -- no special charge or room. You can't go wrong at Il mulino. And perfect for the symphony. Free parking if you dine there -- and it;s just across the street. The valet stand is definitely still open after a performance.
