" I had been recommended this restaurant, and I finally decided to check it out. While the food was decent, and the atmosphere was nice, I don’t think it's worth the lower tier of Italian spots. My fettuccine alfredo was just average, and the chicken didn't add much to the dish. I did appreciate the staff’s friendliness, so it wasn't a complete loss. I might give it one more chance, but I'm undecided. " (*Curated Review*)

" The marinara sauce on the pasta is to die for! I appreciate that they use quality ingredients; the basil is fresh. I also love the fact that the restaurant is BYOB. Makes it easy to bring our favorite wine to pair with our dinner. We've become regulars here, and each time the food has been consistently good. Service could be improved at times, but the staff is always friendly and tries their best. I suggest their eggplant rollatini for something that feels authentically Italian. " (*Curated Review*)

" I am so happy I found this place! Coming from an Italian family, I appreciate the authenticity and quality of the food served. The pizza has that traditional doughy base, and the toppings are fresh and flavorful. I ordered the margherita, which satisfied my craving entirely. The restaurant's environment is welcoming and relaxed, plus the staff seems to well manage the service hustle. If you're looking for a genuine Italian experience, do yourself a favor and check out Molinos! " (*Curated Review*)

" Upon arrival, I was initially pleased with the restaurant’s cleanliness and décor. However, while the food was simply adequate, it didn’t live up to its expectations. I ordered the margherita pizza; it was fine, but it lacked that distinct fresh tomato flavor I associate with authentic recipes. Service was friendly, but we had to wait quite a while to be served. I'm curious to try other dishes because I've heard great things about the pasta here. Hoping for a better experience next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" This is a beloved spot among my friends and family. The consistency in quality here is phenomenal. I usually go for their classic lasagna, which is always cheesy and hot, and we love the garlic knots—they vanish in minutes! The only complaint I have is sometimes the wait staff seems a bit overwhelmed, probably due to the restaurant's popularity. Regardless, I keep returning because the food is solid and the laid-back atmosphere is always enjoyable. " (*Curated Review*)

" Here's a thorough review after visiting Molinos for the third time. I brought my family, and we were seated promptly. Our waitress was attentive but not overbearing, which I appreciate. The calamari appetizer was light and crispy, just perfect as a starter. For my main course, I ordered the seafood linguine, which was exceptional - fresh ingredients were evident. I noticed the portion sizes are solid for the price, and everything was cooked beautifully. The only hiccup was that our dessert took a while to arrive, but they offered it complimentary because we were waiting too long. Overall, I highly recommend Molinos. It’s my favored Italian place locally! " (*Curated Review*)

" Just visited Molinos for a family dinner. The atmosphere is lovely, and we felt comfortable right away. The staff were friendly and made us feel welcome. We ordered the spaghetti and meatballs, which were fantastic, and I loved the flakiness of the garlic bread. I would say this restaurant rivals anything I've had in Little Italy! The pricing is reasonable for the quality. Can't wait to go back! " (*Curated Review*)
