Il Mulino in Kingston upon Thames

Excellent place for restaurant staffs are very friendly

Gr8 food , good quantity. But took time to prepare, had to wait fr long.

Best Friday Thali for miles around

We just went for dinner here. As soon as we walked in and sat down the tables were dirty. We were given coca-cola in the glass bottles with the straws in. No glass given to serve this. As soon as we sipped the drink with the straw, the drink overflowed and spilled all over the tables. I had to get off my table and go to the bar to request glasses. When given the menu, there was no information shared about the food that was not available. 3 food items that we wanted was not available and we found out only when ordering the food. Therefore we swapped our order from veg biryani to veg noodles. These noodles basically had carrots, leeks and lettuce. There was no potatoes or paneer with the veg noodles. It had no flavour. The food took a long time to arrive. The waitress was not experienced, took our food to another table initially, she also asked us to repeat our order so she can “push the chef” to cook the food faster. Our overall experience was disappointing. We will not be returning here. Please don’t waste your money here for a dining experience.

We unexpectedly entered the Indian restaurant on Sunday though we were ready for Italian food as Google says. We decided to have new experience and it was a good experience. We tried crab curry etc and they were very good 👍🏻 We’ll go back for Indian and Italian again😋

Mutton rolls tp die for and the mutton byriani with meat gravy with extra green chilli's. Just cannot be beaten

Food and service was awful , not recommending at all

Spent a lovely evening at Il Mulino celebrating a 21st Birthday. Very friendly staff. Lovely atmosphere and very good food.

Great food.Amazing service. Reasonable prices. I recommend that restaurant for tasty Italian food.

Really friendly owner and the pizza is the best I've had, highly recommended.

Me and my partner were looking for somewhere for dinner that wasn’t too expensive. This was less than a five min walk from our hotel. Upon arriving, we were greeted by very welcoming and friendly staff. Both the food and service were incredible and if we are ever in the area again, we will definitely be stopping by!

Visited Sunday & all four of us had an excellent meal. Moussaka & lasagne were home made & delicious. The 5th member of our party was a 3 year old child. Nothing was too much & was given mac & cheese with chicken & sweetcorn added. Also child had ice cream all the meal free. The man who served us also prepared the meals & could not have been more friendly. I highly recommend a visit to this restaurant. It is not fast food so be prepared to wait a while for excellent tasty home made Food.

Loved it. Great food and friendly service. Definitely recommend this place. Just fabulous.

Food was authentic and beautiful. Abbas (the owner) was very polite and friendly. There is a fine selection of wines available. 100% recommend

For most of my time here, I was the only diner. It was a weeknight and it was wonderful. The gentleman serving me was generous and totally unartificial, and the food was fresh and well portioned. He even kindly gifted me a lovely chocolate from his ‘private reserve’ 🤣 I love that there are still Italian restaurants like this and I hope lots more people discover it.

Lovely tastey Italian restaurant.

Potentially the worst meal out I have had in a long time. We were served by a girl wearing a sweatshirt and leggings who frankly already looked apologetic before we ordered. We waited a while to have our order taken . When ordering calzone we specifically asked if we could customise as mushrooms are a no go. We asked for beef , salami and cheese.. just those 3 things. When it came,it had chicken and peppers and mushroom! It was also really bland. When we pointed it out to the manager.. he picked up the plate and professed that it was stray piece of mushroom and if we found another piece he would buy us a drink. He then handed the plate back... not great. We found more mushroom! My moussaka was sloppy and clearly microwaved. It had no flavour. The cheese , at least I presume it was cheese, was tasteless and so rubbery I chewed for an age and eventually spat it out. The salad was covered in something loosely resembling pesto!?! It also came with a mound of dry tasteless rice. Really disappointing and the worst moussaka I have ever had the unfortunate circumstance to eat. It was so bad... so so so very very very bad. Lordy

The worst food I’ve had out in the last 5 years. I wouldn’t even get a pizza there.

Went here for my son’s birthday party… great food and friendly staff :-)

A gem of a restaurant. Really lovely food and very good value. This was our second visit- the first was before the pandemic- so glad they're still there.

My husband and I were looking for somewhere to have a nice meal out after being stuck in the house all day in a rainy Sunday. For some reason, we had never been to or even considered Il Mulino as an option. We decided to try it and we are really glad we did. The food was great with a varied selection of different choices. The staff were attentive and friendly and made the experience worthwhile. We regularly visit the local restaurants and Il Mulino is already rated near the top of our list. We will definitely be back

Excellent value for money, cosy little restaurant. Wide range starters and main courses. Went with a group of dancing chums, after the meal the staff moved some tables to allow for dancing. Well recommended, will be going back.

Lovely quality home cooked food very good value, very friendly staff very nice evening out will definitely come again

The staff here are really great, and treat you like a member of the family. Food was absolutely wonderful.

Excellent food & Staff are really friendly & make you feel very welcome 😀 The cook always does an amazing food,

Lovely family owned restaurant. Owners very friendly and make an effort to remember customers. Very child friendly with child offers available. Has gluten free pizza and pasta.

This restaurant was absolutely perfect. The food was very tasty. We had Pasta Penne, Pizza Calzone 1 and Pollo Di Funghi and everything was really very good. We will definitely come again. Thank you.

Very friendly good my son took me there with my grand daughter and food was fresh and homemade ,superb

I live local to this restaurant, but had been apprehensive to visit as it seemed to be empty each time I walk past. Secondly, the premises has had several incarnations over the years with the previous owners changing hands every so often. As a result, it has taken me up until now (oct 2020) to visit.It was my partners idea as he was in the mood for a pizza and as its such a short stroll from my address we decided to take a visit. The food was delicious and served efficiently. As a previous reviewer mentioned, the Marinara linguine is delicious and there is plenty of seafood in the dish. My partner had the Marinara pizza and his verdict was that it was 'lovely. The price is amazing. I paid 4 x the price for similar dishes at The Ivy! We will definitely return, please do visit this little gem 💎

Fantastic Restaurant. Please visit.

Spent 5 days in the Kingston/Tolworth area and visited this restaurant twice. Both times food and service excellent and very friendly.

Please read my whole post so you can get the full picture. So I live 30 seconds walk from here and walk past is all the time. The first time I went was in the opening weekend maybe a year or two ago, and the food was aweful, the service was slow with barely anyone there, the music was "chart pop" music and loud, the tables had these god aweful plastic tablecloths and overall a bad experience, keeping in mind that literally opposite them is an Italian restaurant that has been there for 45 years with a well established community and great food that my family and I have been going to for decades. I just came to Il Mulino today (August 2020) and, well, my 5 star rating is all you need. A very attentive manager, kept us filled with drinks, music was straight out of the God Father, and other classic Italian themed movies (love it, its cute and homely!) and the thank god the plastic tablecloths had gone! Food came promptly and was clearly made fresh. Calamari was not greasy and was crispy, and the Crepe stuffed with beef and cheese was made delicately. The pizza dough was lovely and crisp on the outside with lots of toppings of a good quality, my sisters linguini was packed with prawns and squid and clearly the sauce had been made with fresh shellfish stock as the flavour was strong. My parents moussaka was beautiful and fragrant and that isn't to forget that portion sizes were really good (I'm 6ft4 100kg and it filled me to brim). The desserts were not to good, nothing to write home about, but honestly for the price this is an amazing little restaurant for a fun family meal. I can't believe it has taken me this long to come back, but I will be going again with friends and family, the other restaurant Risorante Sorento will always have a place in my heart, but I think Il Mulino will be a regular place for me to go to from now on too :) (Also important to mention, both restaurants have very different Italian food, so they aren't really comparable dish vs dish.) 5* well done!

Absolutely beautiful place, fantastic service and even better food. Catered for all including the kids. Made us all feel so welcome. Would highly recommend this restaurant ❤️

Very nice food, good service, great value. Happy to support local independent businesses.

One of my favourite places in Kingston/Surbiton. Freshly made dishes that taste amazing. Great customer service. A shot or two of limoncello after the dinner is a must

Lovely restaurant with top notch service

The food is is excellent and reasonably priced. Nice size restaurant and all the staff were lovely and attentive without being overbearing. But the most amazing thing here are the profiteroles. Just absolutely perfect and by far the best I've had north of Milan.

Really lovely ambiance and authentic Italian dishes with excellent priced menu. Who could ask for more. The calzone was delicious.

Just eaten one of best pizzas outside italy

The owners and their daughters are lovely but clueless on running a restaurant. Slow service (only 3 tables to serve on a Saturday evening), overcooked food and they struggle to take cards due to poor internet connection. I wish them all the best but I can't see this business lasting long.

Lovely food and wonderful service. Will be returning

Service was really friendly, food was tasty and plentiful. Prices were reasonable. We will be back...thanks Il Mulino

One of the best Italian restaurants I ever visits amazing food and amazing staff and service.

Fantastic pizza! Lovely wine. Great evening.

Good food and great value. The waitress was fab.

I dined at Il Mulino a few times now, and every time my experience has been great! I’ve had the Beef Meatballs and most recently the Pasta Pesto, both were absolutely delicious and would definitely would recommend. The staff was super nice and accommodating. Definitely will be returning to the restaurant soon.

having dinned at II Mulino last night i must say it was fantastic,Very friendly staff and the food was of a high standard,The sea bass was top class.
