• Italian • Avondale
Booked 13 times today
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!

    Outstanding meal and terrific dishes . Been to Thattu, a few times and note the progress over the years. Reservation made earlier in the day guaranteed us no wait. Alcohol is available with a native twist to the traditional cocktails. Food, Made ideally for the South Indian palate but not too spicy for the average palate and food similar enough to the East African and Caribbean dishes. The menu changes regularly but standard dishes like fried chicken, biryani, and unique fair like Appams(flat leavened pancakes) are absolutely delicious. The thali meals wand vegetarian sides are delicately made. Dessert was a a fried jackfruit cake and and payasam. Both exquisite. Tips built in and shared equally by all the staff. Ambiance is one of a casual restaurant with no airs. Simply laid out large dining room and very attentive staff . All orders are placed on individual phones and the tab can be kept open till the meal is done and gone. Service was quick. Street parking can sometimes be a challenge. A wonderful experience to which we will most certainly return.
