Mulino's Trattoria - Northampton

The mussels are an incredible appetizer, served in a whole roasted garlic wine sauce with Parmesan. I even love nibbling on the garlic cloves. Fresh, hot bread accompanies it perfectly. The Caesar salad is stunning, made with all fresh, homemade ingredients. For the main courses, I highly recommend the fillet with Gorgonzola and Chianti sauce over mushroom risotto and asparagus—absolutely delicious! The Shrimp Rustica could easily be a main dish, featuring artichoke hearts, cherry tomatoes, capers, and plump shrimp in a garlicky white wine sauce served over linguini. I also enjoyed the mahi mahi with almond crust, served with homemade mashed potatoes and seasonal veggies. Our server Bobbi was amazing, reminding me how much I love this dish. The chicken marsala, chicken piccata, and chicken parmigiana are also excellent choices—I’ve tried them all! There are so many dishes to choose from, so I recommend checking out their website. Don’t miss out on the homemade desserts, which are also seasonal. They have a full bar and an extensive wine list, making it a must-try!

Parking is available nearby for a fee, and the place is always lively. If you become a VIP member, you receive a $5 discount on your meal, which I found to be a nice perk. This restaurant has quickly become my favorite—I make it a point to come back every year to try something new from the menu. It has a casual vibe but still feels upscale, with warm greetings from the staff. The waitstaff is attentive, friendly, and very helpful. If you have food allergies, be sure to mention them beforehand, as they are great at providing suggestions and accommodating your requests. In my opinion, this restaurant deserves five stars across all categories. It truly is a hidden gem!

I always enjoy a fantastic meal at this restaurant. This time, I tried the red sea scallops with risotto, and they were delicious. Our waiter was excellent as well. I highly recommend Mulinos!

I love this place! We were there yesterday. Maybe we were the 5th time. The hostess was very atmospheric and zigig. She was with other people whatever. Anyway, my greedy ass ordered two ducks. I had the salmon special and the pasta special that Conchiglie was with steak tips. OMG! They were both so delicious. We also have cheese bread. My daughter has the chicken franchise. My wife has Conchiglie Con Pollo. Ashley was great! Very sweet waitress. On Saturday night you should request reservations. I highly recommend this place!
