Il Mulino in Calderdale

I had an outstanding meal. The restaurant was quiet-ish but there was enough going on to create a good atmosphere. I had a very good pizza, a Napoli, with a Rocket and Parmesan salad. I had a beer with that. It was all very very good. I followed that with a lemon sorbet, then un caffè (an espresso) and then rounded everything off with a Limoncello. Service was efficient and nicely friendly. As a single traveller I felt very welcome. That was as good an Italian meal as I’ve ever had. Truly memorable and I’d go back in a flash. Grazie mille!

Service was excellent prompt professional and polite. The food was excellent, fresh and delicious. We asked for a different wine to one served, and this was changed with no fuss or bother. If you're staying anywhere, where near hebden bridge make this your number one resteraunt to visit.

The seafood linguine was to die for, we had to leave early for a gig but I'm coming back for tiramisu!

Good food and wine and wonderful staff and service.

Wow, went last weekend , fantastic meal, will be booking again this weekend , thank you Roberto for your hospitality, you and other managers and staff are fantastic

Absolutely lovely meal and staff. The toilets not so, they need a good clean, and don't water down the soap.. its not good. Other than that a really lovely place to eat 😋

Fabmeals last night. Spinach and Ricotto ravioli, lobster ravioli and sea bass. Enjoyed by all! Rose blush from Puglia, the house wine, delicious 😋

Warm welcome; staff that couldn't do enough to make your visit special. Food excellent and reasonably priced. Will definitely be visiting again.

Saturday, 27th August. Absolutely amazing food with amazing service. Packed restaurant with 3 staff. They were amazing and the food was too 5*. Would definitely recommend, and thank you for making the night so special as it was a friends birthday. Very attentive staff and THE MOST AMAZING COCKTAILS!! Will see you again soon and would definitely recommend.

Lovely place, food was fantastic and really lovely atmosphere. Staff really nice and attentive. Can’t recommend highly enough.

Had a fabulous night! Great food and great service added to the wonderful atmosphere. We were there celebrating a co workers birthday and was surprised with a celebratory dessert with candle and a shot. Thanks so much to the chef, kitchen staff and the wonderful friendly and welcoming bar and wait staff. Would certainly recommend and will be back. Five stars all the way 🥰💜

Love the restaurant decor and venue itself, felt like Lake Garda! Food was mostly good, enjoyed the ravioli and lasagne. However, the chicken calzone had no chicken and the meat calzone was very dry with some chicken and ham just in the middle. The service was appalling, no smiles, so rude, repeatedly ordered drinks that didn't come, asked for extras e.g. oil which didn't come, wrong orders, just very robotic. I mentioned I'd asked 4 times for something to which I got the reply 'well we are very busy', which they weren't. Our entire table have worked in hospitality for many years and all agreed this was very very poor service. Been here quite a few times over the years but it has very much gone downhill, I'd go elsewhere in Hebden and spend your money in places where the staff at least offer a smile when you walk in. Don't waste money here.

Overall pretty nice place! Staff were kind and happy to set up a birthday sort of theme for my friend! Pizza is lovely their and so is the ice cream! 3 stars because of the Accessibility and the competition around the area is in a way better to go to!

This was our second visit here and the food and service were amazing. It was our sons’ first visit and they are already looking forward to returning. We will definitely be back. 😀

So disappointed with our visit. We have been coming to the restaurant for years and it is usually our go to restaurant for celebrations and date nights. It has always been full of personality and members of staff who are really friendly and attentive. We have not had problems before and any minor things have been dealt with really quickly and in a fantastic manner. We went for my father in law’s 70 birthday so it was supposed to be a really special meal. We went in a group of 6. Last night was completely different. There are a lot of new front of house staff so the familiar faces aren’t there. Roberto left in January. The front of house did an ok job but could have been more attentive, asking how the food was and if we wanted more drinks. We got our starters in a reasonable time. The cheesy garlic pizza bread was not to the usual standard and not enough toppings had been put on. There were large areas of uncovered dough with one slice being left half uncovered. The deep fried mozzarella was chewy and not melted enough. Had it not been cooked enough or left too long before being served? The soup was good. We then waited for 45-50 mins before checking where our mains were. The response we got was that they had told the kitchen to hurry up with our food because we had kids on the table. We discussed our poor starters and if it was the usual staff in the kitchen which we were assured it was. The manager said they were having to do a lot of damage control out front because of the slow kitchen tonight and they can’t do anything but try to hurry them up. The manager and a waitress had been talking and looking over at our table before we went to speak to them. I think coming over to us first, apologising and giving us an update on the timing of the food would have been a better service and would have come across better than choosing not to speak to us. Had the kitchen forgotten about us? Complementary drinks and deserts could have been offered and could have been seen as a restaurant that really cares. In the end we were that fed up waiting and had gone past wanting the food, especially when the starters hadn’t been up to scratch so we just wanted to leave and ended up with a takeaway. The manager wiped the starters off the bill and we just paid for drinks and she apologised and blamed the kitchen. The chef has always been amazing and may have just been having an off night. I’m sure he would have a story to tell about the evening too. When we left, no table in the main room of the restaurant had food on their tables. I’d love this to be just one bad experience but after reading recent reviews, it looks like the last couple of months haven’t been great. Therefore, I won’t be going back in any hurry if at all.😢

I was looking forward to trying the restaurant after seeing reviews but our party went home really disappointed by average food that left a lot to be desired. The main issue was how bland the food tasted. Really lacking and stodgy, and did not leave any of us feeling great. £21 per head early bird for starter and main. Risotto was so bland and watery. Pizza had barely seen the oven and was nowhere near local alternatives. Calamari was tasteless. Waiting staff were pleasant and the restaurant had a nice look. Food was just meh.

off chance visit last night, as we had not been for a good few years it has a stunning rustic charm with great staff and fantastic food one of hebdens best resturants

We had such a great experience we went back for another meal a few days later. The welcome was very warm, staff were really efficient and clearly wanted us to have a great time. The food was absolutely lovely and a great atmosphere. Could not fault this place.

Blink and you miss this place. We were recommended it by our Airbnb host. Popped in early on a Saturday evening and got a table easily. We both ordered a starter and main. Whitebait for the partner and king prawns in lemon and garlic for me. Followed by a chicken dish for him and spaghetti bolognese for me. Neither of us can fault the staters and my partner loved his chicken. The bolognese was light on meat content and very creamy. Don’t get me wrong it was lovely but not quite what I expected a traditional bolognese to be. The bill came to £52 excluding drinks as teetotallers we just had water. I felt it was a little pricey and think the meal deals through the week sound better value. However it’s a local independent with friendly efficient staff so I’d happily recommend. It was also filling up quickly with groups and couples as we left so clearly has a loyal clientele maybe I just made a poor menu choice.

I was unsure about Il Mulino at first as it was closed at the beginning of the week and the mill house itself seemed deserted. BUT it sprang to life on Wednesday! I'm so glad we gave it a try as the food was delicious and the staff were great. So just check opening hours! It really is a hidden gem.

Lovely building, lovely food and great, friendly, helpful staff. Not sure what else people can ask or want from a restaurant to be honest. They have a small selection of vegan and GF options. The restaurant is on the first floor of a Victorian building but, they do have a chair lift so please make them aware before you arrive if you need this. The toilets are on a level with the main eating area but, there is an eating area that has a couple of steps to it so again, please let them know if any of your party can't manage steps. This is not a dog friendly place to eat. Other than that a lovely local gem that to my mind doesn't always get the recognition it deserves. At the moment and for the foreseeable future this is the only Italian restaurant in Hebden.

My partner has a soya allergy so we declared that and were told we couldn't have pizza or pasta (which seems a bit less than authentic if they're using soya in the flour/sauces). We waited 45 mins for our starters (we couldn't have the bread to tide us over) but the bruschetta (bread and tomatoes) was poor - stale bread, tasteless tomatoes, barely dressed salad. My partner had prawns with an undressed salad because of her soya allergy - which we suggested could be overcome with olive oil, balsamic. Lovely, apologetic staff but the food was really disappointingly like a Harvester.

Really great place. A lot of people recommended it to me which is always a good sign. Great menu and choice of drinks. Very friendly and attentive staff. I opted for one of the specials a sword dish spaghetti but I was a bit disappointed with the flavour and lack of fish if I am honest. Think it might just have been a bad choice as everyone else enjoyed their food. Good size portions. I would recommend the bruscetta it was delicious. We got limoncello on the house and a dessert for the birthday girl. Next time I will just have a traditional dish.

The restaurant is not noticeable however the food is great. Service is excellent as well. Would like to come back again.❤️

Really good food and a beautiful place

Went here on February 14th, but it was for birthday. Absolutely great service and good. Loved the limoncello mojitos! Happen to mention that is was for a birthday. Staff came out with our dessert with a candle and staff sang!

Great little Italian restaurant.

I have been eating here since it first opened many years ago. I haven't been for a while as money is getting tighter. However, tonight I decided to take myself out. I was met with a warm and friendly welcome by one of the staff and quickly shown to a table. I was given a menu and the special board was pointed out to me. I started with a garlic pizza bread with tomatoes and it was lovely, tasty topping and a crunchy base. Then I had swordfish steak with capers, olives etc. Once again it was very tasty and well cooked. I had too much food and so I asked to have the leftover fish boxed so that I could take it home for my dog. This was done without any issue, unlike some places that I have eaten in. The special board included both a vegan started and a vegan main course which I'm sure some people would be happy to see. The main menu has lots of veggie options as well. They also offer all of their pasta meals with gluten free pasta. This restaurant is on the first floor of the building. However, if you or anybody in your group cannot manage stairs they have a chair lift just to the right of the main entrance.

Lovely food, good company, great service - what more do you need.

Always wonderful I love it here, would highly recommend, but wish they would make the bathroom look cleaner and more presentable, it's run down and scruffy to the point that it looks dirty, it let's this fantastic place down.

We came here for an evening meal to celebrate a birthday. The food was nice but i've had better. Plenty choice on menu. Friendly staff, nice atmosphere.

The food is lovely, the staff were extremely nice, we would highly recommend to anyone coming to hebden bridge, we looked at a few places before choosing here and it was recommended to us.

We had a really good meal here. The Arabic I was really good definitely worth trying. The pasta is really good as well. Staff very friendly! Wish I could bring my dog here as well though as if we visit Hebden Bridge likely to have him with us.

We visited for the first time while staying in hebden for our golden wedding. What a great restaurant full of character, the staff were very helpful , and the food was excellent. Will definitely return the next time we are in hebden.

Wow, just wow, why have we never been here before.?? Food was excellent! Had hundreds of Italian meals over the years and this is by far the best! Service was also amazing! Looking forward to our next visit.. Karl & Agnes.. Walsden..

A bit tasteless and very large portion I had better else where

Absolutely amazing evening. As a group of 10 we couldn't have been happier with the food, service and atmosphere. Fantastic place, we will definitely be back

Honestly love this place. Wish we could come more than we do

It’s rare to get that combination of genuinely caring and attentive staff with great tasting food at superb value. We had it all and returned for a second night on recent visit to Hebdon Bridge. Portions are big, mot that size is key but great taste. The front of house and servers were all excellent. Cannot recommend highly enough.

Enjoyed our mid week visit for our son's birthday. Lovely food and great service. Will definitely be back.

We had dinner at Il Mulino and were greeted warmly by the staff and shown to a table in the corner. The restaurant is attractive, spacious , bright and comfortable. We chose the house white wine which was very good and had meatballs as starters which were delicious. The owner served the food and was charming and extremely efficient. We had pollo con funghi with pasta rather than the chips which were on the menu. Everything was beautifully prepared, piping hot and delicious. The deserts looked wonderful but we were too full to order one sadly. The cost of the meal was extremely reasonable. This is a great restaurant and we look forward to returning.

Excellent service and great food Highly recommended

Absolutely fantastic once again! Myself and my partner visited in July for our anniversary and decided to return to celebrate our engagement because we enjoyed it so much. Wonderful,professional but friendly staff and the food is to die for. I can't stop raving about it to our friends and family. It's such a beautiful setting, truly a one off type of place. We've decided to make it a monthly visit from now on and I can't wait to go back!

Excellent quality, authentic Italian food

My guests loved it. Nice place with excellent service

Lovely building & setting, food was great, bit pricey. It was a busy Tuesday evening, waited in the bar area with drinks, was told 15-20mins for a table but frustratingly it turned out to be 45-50mins.

The first experience me and my partner had here was amazing we came for our anniversary in July and enjoyed everything from the food to the atmosphere 🙌 this time round we came to celebrate our engagement, same again the food was sublime, the atmosphere was on point, the service from all the members of staff was great and the wine was amazing, if we could eat here every day im sure we would, will definitely be returning again soon to enjoy another lovely meal here!

Consistently good food and service.

Nice atmosphere & friendly staff but a Disaster Chef with a heavy hand on the salt cellar spoilt what might have been a reasonable sauce and not enough rice to hoover it up.. cheap for a reason

Chose Il Mulino when looking for a last minute dinner options for a group including a vegan. There were a number of vegan friendly options outside of the usual stuff you'd expect, and the whole group seemed pleased with the dishes they'd received, although the menu overall seemed quite limited, with nothing that particularly stood out from the usual mains you'd expect at an Italian restaurant. The calzones were particularly generous in size, with those who ordered them finding they had to get through several mouthfuls of dough before getting to the filling. Overall, dining at Il Mulino was great for our group at that time, but when we return to Hebden Bridge, we're hoping to try some more adventurous options instead.

Perfectly fine Italian restaurant, nice place, large portions!

Fabulous Italian Cuisine, friendly and helpful staff and sensible menu pricing, definitely a place to recommend and we will visit again next time we are in Hebden Bridge.

The food and service were perfect! Spaghetti carbonara was creamy the fillet steak and de pepe sauce were amazing and cooked exactly how we asked for! I couldn’t fault anything about Il Mulino and couldn't recommend it enough! We will 100% be returning! Thank you for an amazing meal

We went for the Early Bird weekday menu and enjoyed 2 courses for £19.95. There were 5 adults and a toddler and we all left clean plates, every dish was excellent from the child's pasta to the calzone, the carbonara and the chicken with mushrooms. Generous servings and great service.

Roberto is Italian, friendly and happy to chat in either language. The larger room is a bit noisy, would recommend the smaller room.

We absolutely loved this Italian restaurant. The food portions were generous, and the quality of food was amazing 👏 the staff were friendly and professional. The atmosphere and music made for a lovely evening.

Great atmosphere great food. Lovely little place. 5 of us had food here, when it came to paying it was a bit disappointing to be given the bill and calculator and told to work out how much we owed ourselves, last thing we needed on a Saturday night.

Great find, food was gorgeous and very generous! the prawns for start and salmon tagatelli main… couldn’t fault it ! if we ever visit hebden bridge again, we will return! staff were also very friendly and attentive

Initially, we struggled to find the restaurant as it is well-hidden away and, when we started going up the stairs, expected to find somewhere fairly small. Il Mulino is anything but. Quite often, large restaurants, particularly on a busy Friday evening, struggle to provide a consistent quality of food , but our three course meal was excellent. Our son wanted soup as a starter and wasn't keen on either of those on offer. But, despite being so busy, he was offered and served his own bespoke one! All three courses were excellent, as was the inexpensive house red. There really was nothing to fault. It is just a shame that we live so far away.

Great food and 5 star service! Thank you!

We went for a meal and got the 2 course early bird. The staff and service are fine as is the restaurant setting in an old mill, quite attractive. Our main criticism was how very average and bland the food was. Poor lasagne and strange arancini, tasteless lobster ravioli. We went because of the good reviews but found it very disappointing.

Good above average restaurant. Must visit if you are in the area

Had our first visit yesterday and really enjoyed our meal and the staff are very friendly, will definitely be back

Lovely family meal had here, great atmosphere. Would recommend!

Delicious, fresh and homemade food (some of the best pasta I've ever eaten). Great, attentive service. Beautiful building. Very nice espresso martini! We were really pleased with our meal which we had when visiting Hebden Bridge to celebrate a big occasion. We couldn't have picked somewhere better! We were staying very close by so walked into town but the restaurant is situated near some parking places for those driving in.

Had a lovely anniversary meal. Great attentive staff and delicious Italian food

This place is fairly well hidden up a staircase at the end of Bridge Street but really worth finding. It has a cozy, bistro feel to it and a comprehensive Mediterranean-themed menu. We arrived (having pre-booked) at 5pm and we were the first through the door but within 30 minutes it was busy and we could see why. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable and immediately made us feel at home. We started with the meatballs (huge) and breaded mozzarella and followed these with a prawn linguine and the peppercorn chicken. Delicious and generous serving sizes. It was a thoroughly enjoyable evening and we will definitely be back.

What a fantastic place. Went early (5pm) which is when they open. Warmly greeted on arrival and given the option of being seated immediately or a drink at the bar first. Our order was taken by a lovely waitress and our food was delivered piping hot. The food was absolutely superb. Full of flavour and beautifully presented. We had starters and a main course. We never felt rushed, nor were we waiting long between courses There is a great menu with something for everyone. Il Mulino pay attention to the details. Fresh bread is provided as is water to the tables. The atmosphere is friendly yet professional and all three front of house staff we spoke to were evidently passionate about their restaurant. When you go make sure you look closely at the building. The wall lights utilise the old pulley brackets. The decor is in harmony with the mill building.

It's been a while since visiting Il Mulino but the food was lovely with very attentive service

I will definitely go again the food was excellent and well presented

Today I went out with friends, to II Mulino in Hebden Bridge for a meal. when we got there, staff showed us to a table that we had booked, the day before. The staff, gave us each a menu & we then ordered our meal along with a drink. This is the first time, I've been here & I'm very pleased with the service that we were given here. II Mulino, is located in St George's Street in Hebden Bridge & is well worth a visit, if you are looking for a bite to eat, while you are visiting Hebden Bridge. You may need, to phone & book a table when going to II Mulino for a meal. Stephen Acton.

Excellent food and surroundings

A lovely restaurant with great food.

One of my favourite restaurants to visit, the food is always great and the staff even better. Both Josh and his team do a great job in looking after you.

I’ve got to say this was a very nice experience. You need to book and get in early . We had a nice chilled time here. Sat next to the window where you can see the river. I had a HUGE calzone . We all share half and half garlic bread. Staff knew how to please . I would of tried dessert but there was no room. Thank you for a lovely meal guys.

Fantastic service. Fantastic food. Flavours are amazing . Certainly the best sauces you will find especially the steak sauces. Genuine Italian food . Not like alot of chains .

It was lovely as always. Just one comment far to much sauce. X

Probably within the top 5 restaurants I’ve ever visited. Our son says it’s number 1 on his list, he scored it 10/10. Where to start! Josh and all the staff there are incredibly welcoming and are extremely helpful. The food was out of this world, delicious home made bread, meatballs in a sauce to die for, pizzas of the best quality and a little birthday surprise for the little man. Absolutely loved it. If you’re ever in Hebden Bridge this is an absolute must to try. Thank you Il Mulino, it was well worth the drive from Manchester ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Third visit this evening, gorgeous food, friendly staff would highly recommend, great choice and attentive service.

We wandered in by chance having liked the look of the menu choices outside. A good decision! We arrived at 6pm and were politely advised that there was a spare table overlooking the main square, but it was booked from 8pm. The food choice was good and the choices we made were delicious. The house red (Merlot) was £16. Very good value. The restaurant was amazing and we will be back soon Thanks to all the staff for making our evening in Hebden Bridge so enjoyable.

A small entrance door, but when you get upstairs it is quite spacious. A warm friendly greeting and absolutely great food. A very authentic Italian menu to choose from. Would definitely recommend and will certainly be back when we’re next in the area.

Amazing food and service was spot on. Reasonably priced too, was expecting to pay a lot more as food was so tasty. Would 100% return if ever back in Hebden Bridge.

We had an a amazing meal for my daughter’s birthday Thank you , we will be back soon

My partner and I have just enjoyed an amazing dinner here. We were a last minute booking but they managed to fit us in. The service was great, all the staff were friendly but professional. The setting was lovely but most importantly the food was delicious. Thoroughly enjoyed it and will definitely come again when we are in the area.

Had a lovely meal for a friends birthday. Nice atmosphere and attentive staff would recommend.

Fabulous restaurant, gorgeous food, great service. Highly recommend.

The food, the service and the atmosphere were all spot on. My daughter had chicken tagliatelle, the portion was generous and it was very tasty. I had a vegetarian calzone, again it was a good size and delicious. The food was excellent value for money and l will visit again next time I'm in Hebden Bridge.

Very average food. My calzone was tough - massively overcooked. Some of the other pizzas in our group came out ok, but all of the calzone orders were disappointing. The staff were good and it is a nice place, but we won't be returning

Quirky little restaurant almost hidden away in the centre of Hebden Bridge. All the staff were super friendly and we never felt rushed. We shared a mix of starters - the olives were really good. I had the fishy linguine main course which was delicious with loads of king prawns & squid. Slightly disappointed I was too full for a pudding, but others had the tiramisu which they said was beautiful & light! Would definitely recommend to anyone visiting the area.

Booked a table earlier on in the day for 8.30pm after we’ve finished our day. Place was buzzing, really lively but in a way that doesn’t disturb your own evening. Greeted my smiley and friendly staff, seated immediately even though we were early. We had both been eating during the day so wasn’t too hungry. We split a starter and a pizza and had a nice surprise that everything came out pre split so no messing around! Mozzarella starter was superb and Funghi pizza delicious. Took some home and had it this morning, still as delicious! Full of herbs. Helpful staff making sure we were happy and drinks flowing. Always 10/10

Best pasta we have ever had at a restaurant, however the calzone was a little bland but still nice. Not a choice of ales other than a few bottles which is disappointing for the area. Staff were very helpful and friendly. The place itself was beautiful. Would definitely visit again

This place was amazing! The pizza was the best I've ever tasted and the service was extremely quick and friendly! The atmosphere was great too. Definitely going to be back here again!

Good food, great atmosphere and nice location. Menu items reasonably priced. Will be back for sure.

Me and my family have been to il Mulinos loads of times now and the food never misses! The prices are very affordable considering the quality of the food.

A fantastic setting in the heart of Hebden. It has a warm, welcoming appeal and the locations and building are spot on. This time we had the spaghetti Bolognese and pizza Napoli; both meals arrived quickly and were excellent. The portions are of a good size which means (sadly!) there is rarely room for pudding, the desert menu always looks tempting though!

Stumbled into this place looking to use the facilities and grab a coffee. Decided to eat. What a wonderful menu... plenty for vegetarian and meat eaters... very large portions so take care when ordering! Although you can take a box home. Food is lovely. Attentive service. Absolutely worth a visit

Lovely place food and service great will go back sometime.

Lovely to see this place so busy and bustling. Food great. It was our first visit and we'll be back!

This restaurant never fails us, fabulous welcome, lots of happy vibes from the bar manageress Chloe who kept us entertained she’s a rare find with fantastic banter and very attentive...thank you. Our food was served promptly with wonderful presentation with attention to detail, I had...
