In need of another fine dining option to enjoy before a show at the Schermerhorn or Bridgestone? Add Trattoria Il Mulino to your list. Located in the newly renovated Hilton Nashville Downtown on Fifth Avenue, the restaurant is the fourth trattoria location of the famed Il Mulino New York. Bringing authentic Italian flavors to Music City, Trattoria Il Mulino is a welcome addition to Nashville’s thriving culinary scene.

The restaurant, which opened in April, marks the end of a three-phase $32-million renovation to the Hilton. A blend of old-world charm and chic modernity, the space includes an exhibition kitchen with brick pizza oven, a white Italian marble-top bar, two private dining rooms, and custom floor-to-ceiling wine cabinets constructed of wood and mirrored glass. A street-level patio, tucked away under a black and white awning, provides patrons with a posh and cozy option for alfresco dining.

Serving up rustic Italian dishes inspired by the Abruzzo region, the culinary team utilizes the freshest ingredients for the broad selection of soups, salads, pizzas, pastas, entrées and desserts found on the brunch, lunch and dinner menus. The offerings range from the traditional—margherita pizza, veal parmigiano, spaghettini with meatballs—to the truly inspired, like the black ink fettuccine with octopus or the porcini ravioli with Champagne truffle cream sauce. Hand-crafted cocktails and an impressive wine selection—190 varietals curated from around the globe!—round out the meals. With a central location to Nashville’s nightlife and the perfect blend of inventive and classic dishes, Trattoria Il Mulino offers everything you could want in a truly cosmopolitan dining experience.
