Authentic Italian food, the owner is from Italy. We had brunch selections and all were great. We finished with the owner's Mom's Tiramisu WOW! About $25 each plus a good tip but well worth it.

I went to this restaurant twice while I was in the area. It seems to be a popular spot for locals…read more I had the lobster ravioli and meatballs the first time and it was very good. I was with a friend who had that bruschetta and another pasta dish, which she really enjoyed. I also ordered the Kahlúa cake, which was very rich and very good. The next time I went, I ordered the spaghetti carbonara and was disappointed. It didn't come with a carbonara sauce. It came with a lemon sauce that tasted like lemon. It didn't come with a spoon to twirl the spaghetti so I used my coffee spoon.

I ordered the rack of lamb, it was amazing! Literally like butter, no knife needed, cooked to perfection, the most tender lamb ever! The owners came by the table to greet and welcome us. Made us feel very special. Don't let the pricey menu deter your visit; it is well worth it. And the desserts, leave room! Full liquor bar and an amazing wine list for your choice. This is a gem for downtown Kalona!

This was a charming restaurant with excellent service and excellent food. We had two of the pasta…read moredishes and they were phenomenal. There were only two issues I had concerns with. The first one is the entrance. That is definitely a hazard for both staff and customers. Customers are walking directly in the path of the staff coming out with dishes. Bad design there. You can see the main entrance was ultimately closed in order to accommodate more seating. The other issue is the noise level. That was quite bad as well due to the close proximity of the tables and overall size of the restaurant. I'm sure in the summer this might not be as bad due to the patio portion of the restaurant. Neither will hinder me returning. The food is amazing!

My wife and I went on a date night to Mirabito's on a Friday night. Here were our thoughts:…read more Service: The service we received was excellent. Our server was polite, patient, and attentive. Food: Appetizer -- Meatballs (These were solid would rate them around 7.8/10, very generous serving size - as were the servings for the following menu items). Entree #1 -- Chicken Parm (Would rate around a 7.1/10, not a huge fan of the red sauce but the chicken was great). Side Salad -- Caesar (Rating was around a 6.6/10, the salad had great flavor but it had A LOT of Caesar dressing). Entree #2 -- Chicken Alfredo with broccoli and chicken (Easily the favorite dish of the meal, would rate 8.8/10. This is the dish that will make me a return customer!) Ambiance: This is a quiet spot for a tasty Italian meal. It feels cozy and inviting. Overall, would recommend giving this place a try. It doesn't quite reach the top tiers of restaurants I've eaten at, but as mentioned earlier, I'll be a repeat patron of this place in the future!
