Il Mulino

Delicious food including the salads, pizza, and the fillet steak! Service by Roberto made our experience better! Recommended Italian restaurant in Essen

Really good Italian food for being in Germany.
I really liked the bruschetta and the Bresaola pizza, this last one is not very common in Germany that’s why really appreciated.
Another amazing food is their tiramisu, Really mouthwatering!
The service was also really nice, despite the restaurant being full they were quite quick in serving us and the waiter even excused himself by mentioning that there were full and understaffed.
Big special thank you to the waiter Roberto, who was really nice and fun with us.

Small little minus point was the atmosphere, as the restaurant was really full it was also really loud, so was for us ( a group of 8 people) really difficult to talk and hear each other.
But overall a great experience!

I really enjoyed this restaurant. While the food may not have been the best I've ever had, it's certainly recommendable for an Italian restaurant outside of Italy. The pizzas and pasta dishes were all quite flavorful. The Tiramisu didn't quite hit the mark for me, though it wasn't bad. The service was relaxed and friendly, and they were notably welcoming to children, which isn't always the case in Germany. The ambiance was authentically Italian, filled with happiness and lively conversation.

some of the best pizza's i've had in my life

This restaurant is really good and authentic. The services are really fast and prompt here...

Disappointing...
The prices are way too high for no reason
-Bruschette: bad quality bread, not toasted
-Truffle pasta: so expensive for 5 truffle flakes, super oily!
-"ratatouille" pasta: no sauce (ratatouille by definition has tomato sauce), once again super oily, also ratatouille doesn't have spinach or salad in it...

Warm and Welcoming staff

Great traditional Italian food.
Pasta is fresh and delicious.
The service is implacable!
Great value for money and overall great experience.
