“We went for dinner this weekend and it was such a treat. Our server Crystal, was phenomenal. Explained the specials (which all sounded delicious) and broke down the main menu as well. Hubby ordered the steak and it melted in your mouth! I had the chicken marsala with potatoes instead of noodles. DELICIOUS!!! Had such a beautiful dinner! Thank you for a beautiful evening! We'll be back soon!!”
“Hey you guys Please go and support this beautiful Wicker Park family owned business or look them up on Instagram and give them a follow. 10 out 10 on service and food. Ms. Crystal our waiter top notch class act(tip my girl) She was awesome with recommendations. The food came out hot and beautifully plated. My only recommendation is that the burata cheese could have been melted more. These portions are HUGE! THE portions are worth the $$. Get the wings, they give nice size wings and the dipping sauce was nice and thick with flavor; not watered down like some places. Mirella's is such a beautiful clean environment great date night, solo dinner, and groups. The bar area and its garden/patio season coming and they got it. I seen them on Instagram and just fell in love with the back story and finally made it here and it won't be my last. Look at these portions and check it out for yourself you won't regret it. The space alone is well worth the trip; the roof opens up, make this your new summer time hangout.”
“Celebrated a birthday here - drinks and food - and they were amazing ! Super accommodating. Initially my food expectancy was not high (we're at a bar) BUT their salmon and pasta was soo good !!! I was impressed ! Server was really nice and attentive, and drinks were yummy. Overall impressed and really glad I stepped in.”
“The ambiance was comfortable and very nice. The moment my party and I arrived, we were greeted and had attentive service throughout our dinner. Our server Jade was absolutely wonderful! So sweet and she consistently made sure we had everything we needed. We tried the Peri Peri Chicken, the NY strip, and Baked Pasta with chicken. The food came out in a decent amount of time and was hot. Everything was delicous, though the chicken could have had a bit more flavor, but other than that- excellent. I also tried the Strawberry Paloma and was pleasantly surprised how refreshing it was. Would definitely come back.”
“This was the first time I had to hold back from ordering the wings. Those are absolutely my favorite but I am pushing myself to try new things. I've had the crab cakes twice but this is my first time trying the elote and ribs. The elote was decent but I do have to say the ribs were too saucy. That's really crazy coming from me because I love sauce. I am looking forward to trying the pasta dishes and the salmon. I've had the burger and their claim is correct about it being one of the best ones around. I enjoy that it's never super full but that's probably not good for the restaurant. I hope that this place stays open because the food is excellent.”
“Came to do a sip and paint event and the service was great. Waitress was very attentive and came around enough times to check in. Drinks were really good and appetizers were fresh.”
“My bestfriend and I came for their Bad Bunny paint & sip event, and it was a 10/10 experience! Great food (we ordered the fries and chicken tenders), great music, friendly staff, and such a fun event!”
“Truly a beautiful neighborhood gem. Lots of options on division street but this one definitely stands out. First and foremost to all the staff, the Chef and the new management you are all Amazing. Thanks Chef and Tyler for all the delicious recommendations! This place is beautiful, outdoor patio, the bar plus the back dining room are all spectacular. With so many options we didn’t know exactly what to expect so I asked Tyler for some recommendations. The chef happened to be in the room so he stepped in and said you must try the black mussels and the tuna tartare taquitos. Wow! Delicious I’m so glad we did. For the entrees we choose the NY strip steak with truffle fries with chimichurri and the house special that came highly recommended by Tyler and the Chef the Boiled Pork Chop with Yukon Potatoes and Broccoli that was Paramount, probably one of the most delicious I have had. We will definitely be back I’m looking forward to try more options and the Brunch! Thank you all for a great wonderful experience.”
