Mirabella is an Italian steakhouse in the same location where Mirabell Restaurant once stood in the heart of Irving Park. Mirabell, a local staple for nearly 40 years, could not be easily ignored or forgotten; so when the new Owner, Chef Arturo, left his career of 20 years as Head Chef at one of the best steakhouses in downtown Chicago, he felt it was important to recognize Mirabell's unique and longstanding contributions to the community. Mirabella is proud to honor the history and integrity of the former restaurant, while serving the cuisine that Chef Arturo is so passionate about. We welcome you to join us in the celebration of life, love, happiness and delicious food from our famous Grilled Calamari, Chicken Mirabella to our most popular dessert Banana Foster. Mangia!

    Great presentation, great service, and interesting dishes. Prices are a bit steep on certain items and the quantity you get is not much. Portions are a bit small but very tasty. We will be back to try a few other things. We spent $200 for two people for Valentine's day dinner.

    Our Valentines Dinner was amazing, La Serre has a beautiful aesthetic and the food was impeccable and impressive and the drinks were amazing as well! But the highlight was the service my girlfriend and I received when we had issues getting in due to the weather and were late for our reservation. Wendolyn was able to move things around and still get us in at the bar and made sure we still had a wonderful Valentine’s. We are incredibly appreciative and will be back, and will be telling everyone we know they need to come as well!
