Went to Mulino's for the first time on 3/13/2026 in search of a new Italian restaurant. We have a…read morecouple of go-to restaurants in the Springfield area, but it's always nice to try someplace new. Mulino"s was a pleasant surprise. The restaurant is located on the 2nd floor of an architecturally pleasing brick building, with the interior ambiance (decor & lighting) fitting of the food style, setting a comforting mood along with the classic 50's/60's Italian American music. All around the food was both tasteful and comforting, similar to what I remember my Nonni would make. From the Calamari Friitti (appetizer) served with both a marinara and vodka sauce, the Meatballs (appetizer) of a classic beef and pork blend, to the Chicken Francaise (dinner), everything combined for a delicious meal. Mulino's is a great estaurant to visit with your spouse or friends for a nice 'family' dinner without being overly fancy/stuffy. One minor critique as I pretend to be a legitimate food reviewer, add a slight touch more butter to the Chicken Francaise sauce. My son and I collectively rated Mulino's: 4.25/5.

From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere feels warm and inviting -- rustic yet refined, with a…read morecozy New England charm that makes it perfect for both date nights and relaxed dinners with friends. The staff were genuinely welcoming, attentive without being overbearing, and clearly passionate about the food they serve. The menu highlights locally sourced ingredients and seasonal flavors, and you can taste the freshness in every bite. The dishes are thoughtfully prepared and beautifully presented. Whether you're ordering seafood, steak, or one of their creative vegetarian options, the flavors are balanced and satisfying. The cocktail list is equally impressive, with well-crafted drinks that complement the menu nicely. What really sets Homestead apart is its consistency and attention to detail -- from the quality of the ingredients to the comfortable ambiance and polished service. It's the kind of place that feels special without feeling pretentious. If you're in Northampton and looking for a restaurant that blends farm-to-table quality with a welcoming atmosphere, Homestead is absolutely worth a visit.

We had such a wonderful experience here from start to finish. The hostess greeted us with a warm…read moresmile and made us feel immediately welcome. While our table was being set up outside, we enjoyed a drink at the bar--the 15-minute wait was absolutely worth it. The outdoor setting was beautiful, with greenery creating a relaxed summer vibe and live music playing under a small tent, adding to the atmosphere. Our server was equally delightful--friendly, attentive, and spot-on with recommendations. Now, the food: outstanding. We started with the beets and peas salad, which was bursting with flavor--our plates were practically licked clean. The house arugula salad was crisp, fresh, and perfectly balanced with a light, lemony vinaigrette. For mains, we shared the roasted half chicken and the bucatini. Both were phenomenal. I rarely order chicken at restaurants since it often feels too plain, but this one was perfection--crispy skin, juicy meat, and seasoning that carried through every bite. The bucatini, made with homemade pasta and loaded with crispy pancetta, was absolutely irresistible. We couldn't resist finishing with the "Little Mason Jar" dessert, which was indulgent and delicious. Everything--from the service to the food to the ambiance--was exceptional. We'll definitely be back on our next visit to the area

Amazing 3 course Dinner Deal Sunday Night!!…read more Yesterday my best friend and I ate at Spoleto and chose the Three course Dinner Deal!! For about 30 dollars we were able to pick an appetizer , entree and a desert from quite a long list of items. We both picked the same things and the meal was not only a bargain but delicious. We both had the brick oven calamari to start. The appetizer portion was perfect for one person, and the calamari was as good as I have ever had. The calamari were fresh and tender without a ton of coating...delicious. For the main entrees we picked the pecan encrusted salmon. Again, the dish was plentiful, the fish perfectly seasoned and the there was an ample arrangement of sides included. I am often disappointed when a restaurant throws a single small potato on a dish...this entree was delicious and well accompanied. Desert was tiramisu...perfectly sized as I don't always eat desert. But when it is homemade and fresh it's the best. All our plates looked good on presentation and the difference between the quality of the ingredients in Spoleto's Dinner Deal compared to a chain restaurant was very apparent. This is a must stop on a Sunday Evening! Service was also very good and we enjoyed a great recommended bottle of wine. With so many choices I will have to try this another time but easily could end up picking the same items!!

This review is in reflection of the timing and the fact we were suppose to have an indoor accommodation and dinner served to us at the time of reservation. We waited two hours plus for food. Complained several times to the owner and server. I feel bad for the workers there. They are excellent (the servers) but the food is not worth waiting for and they compt our bill. I do appreciate that considering we booked this a year in advance. My aunt was pissed because it was my cousin's undergraduate party. I am leaving this review in upset for all parties, servers, my cousin, and my family.
