I went in super hungry and I remembered they won a hamburger hop event so I was like let's go try this burger!! I do not have any regrets about it. It was worth it and I wish I tried it sooner. The burger is called the Mirella burger. Trust me if you dig burgers this one is on your list to hit up! The only thing I do is ask for the sauce on the side so I can dip the burger in it because it did get a little messy. The waitress and all the staff are so nice and welcoming and easy to talk to. The decor was not what I expected because it looked like a regular bar from the outside, but the inside they put up decorations and places were immediate really cute so if you do do brunch there or want a cute little dinner, then they have some spots that would fit that. We love that. we love a place that can do both. read more

Mirella’s Tavern - Italian Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

This is my third occasion to visit this restaurant. They have a killer enclosed patio on the back. Have visit for Yelp event, private 1st birthday party and got weekend cocktails. On previous engagements I was able to try lots of different food selections and no complaints. On my last occasion, we just tried the Cheeseburger Eggrolls and some cider. The appetizer was good but hard to justify $15 for (2) eggrolls split in half. They were tasty though. Atmosphere here is decent. They have two patios (front off division) and the very spacious one off the side. Very enjoyable location with metered parking out front and some free neighborhood parking during the day. read more

Donna got a build your own pasta with linguini and spicy arabiata sauce and damn, it was spicy! But very good, even without a protein. The heat just kept coming. I got pesto gnocchi. It started kind of middling but just kept getting better. By the time it was gone I wanted to lick the plate. Nice place on Division, friendly staff and not too pricy. read more

No atmosphere here, I came here on a Saturday at 6pm, the first room was empty and playing very loud top 100 style music. In the back room was 1 other group with a dog, and you could smell the dog for sure. Although I love dogs I was surprised they allowed him (may have been a service animal without any vest). Two other groups arrived after us, and no one after that. It was quiet, and the service was fine. The menu is all over the place, flatbreads, elotes, pasta, burgers. I got the burger because it won an award (labeled on the menu) in 2020. It was good, I wanted a little more heat but it was good. When I asked for hot sauce they brought chilula. My partner got the chicken dinner, comes with Mashed potatoes and broccoli. It was good. My child got fries but they have a full kids menu as well as kids cup. Definitely kid friendly. read more

We love coming here for Illini sports! This was a great find during this last Final Four basketball season. The food and drinks are pretty average, but the service is superb. The menu has a shockingly wide variety of food -- serving elote, to oysters, to Philly cheesesteaks, and to peri peri chicken. There's something for everyone. read more

Had to order the award-winning burger & it did not disappoint! It was a hearty, juicy exceptional burger. Will definitely be back again! Service was great, wait staff was always available. There weren't many people when I walked in so it was quiet but the music they played was excellent! read more

Lovely neighborhood restaurant with both high tops and tables so varying ambience. I did the build pasta with linguine and arrabbiata sauce which was spicy and yummy. Hubby had gnocchi al pesto and devoured it. He said it just kept getting better as he was eating. It was nice it came with a side salad. Definitely great place to try. read more

I've been to this location when it was a different restaurant, and I have to say Mirella's facelift to the place is A+! It looks fantastic and light on the inside now, and the back patio is just as beautiful (and warm in the winter! Such a bonus!). My bestie and I attended for restaurant week and they charged $30 TOTAL for 2 people- a steal! You share a first course, then each get your own entree and dessert. The potato casserole was top notch. I wanted 5 scoops instead of 1! It wasn't the best/most creative food ever, but well worth $15 for the amount of food! Head of house was sweet, and she held down the fort for our server while he got ready, which was impressive. They didn't rush us out, and the place actually got pretty full. Overall, a good experience! I would return for their full menu in the future for sure! read more

Hosted my son's first birthday party here and we could not have been happier with the experience! From start to finish, the process was super seamless thanks to Eloise and Chef Jose. They provided us with menu + drink packages and allowed up to cater them to what worked best for us. Everything from food, venue, staff, was absolutely lovely. I can't recommend the space (and team) enough. Thank you all so much for a wonderful afternoon for our family and friends! We made so many great memories here :) read more

We came here to during our visit to Chicago to watch the Illini game. When researching where to watch the game, this came up as a hub. The space was nice and big, it was welcoming but it was somewhat empty. There was another group but I really wanted to feel some energy. We sat at the bar and ordered some food and drinks. The food was delicious, there was a good assortment on the menu. The staff was friendly. Don't know if they opened recently but wish they could get a good crowd going. read more

Unbeatable happy hour specials if you're in the mood for bar food. Excellent service and plenty of TVs to catch the game. Not the best option for cocktails but post up at the bar, grab a couple beers, and share the $10 burger and wings with a friend. 3.65 stars. read more

5/5 restaurant!!!! And not just because my name is the restaurant ;) The food here is actually spectacular. They have a variety of food and an extensive menu. I highly recommend the angry chef egg rolls, Philly Benedict, and bruschetta. There's still soooo much I still want to try, specifically on the dinner menu. The service here is another 5/5 stars. They are so welcoming, hospitable, and kind. The place itself is way bigger on the inside than it seems, plus they have a back space that's large with a semi retractable roof. The walls are windows so it feels like you're outside when you're not! They also have a front patio if you actually want to sit outside. I can't wait to try this place again for a third time (and more). Highly recommend for some good food and service! read more

08/23/24 - I finally made it back for their all you can eat AYCE fish fry on Friday for $18. I was warmly greeted by a beautiful young lady who I later learned her name is Taylor I had previously come here for a Yelp Elite Event a few weeks ago. I heard about the AYCE fish fry on Fridays. Since I came by myself I grabbed a seat @ the bar. I ordered the fish. This came out w/3 pieces of fish w/a Mayo/Sriracha sauce that was a perfect compliment for the fish. This also came w/a dish of coleslaw w/a tangy bite that was very good & an ear of corn slathered w/butter. The food was very good but what made the meal was the conversation I had w/Taylor. She was not only gorgeous but a super host providing me w/some conversation about traveling. Thanks for a good meal & great service made much more pleasant by the conversation w/Taylot read more

Came here for restaurant week and it's a great deal $30 for two people total for Brunch! The options are few but it was certainly worth the money! Our waiter was busy and messed up our order twice but he made up for it! The service overall was extra kind from the host to the waiter !! The food was okay, the portions are pretty small but again a great deal! I'd like to come here for dinner for sure! Two different ambiance's going on, sports bar in the front, different vibe in the back! Lots of TVs and I saw a dog inside ! read more

Came here for Sunday brunch and loved it! Our server was great and so polite. She checked on us just the right amount and our meal was paced perfectly. Our waters were never empty and she made sure to ask if we wanted another cocktail when we got down to our last few sips. To drink, I had an aperol spritz which was perfect on such a beautiful day. For my meal, I had the avocado toast with poached eggs and a side of sausage. The eggs were cooked perfectly, the avocado spread was flavorful, and the cheesy potatoes were beyond amazing. The quality and delicious flavors at such a reasonable price point will keep me coming back time and time again. Another thing that makes this place great is the large patio space. They have a massive greenhouse style porch that is enclosed in glass in the winter and open air in the summer. There's also some tables out front (I know they are building a front patio soon!). Very dog friendly! For those who don't want to be outside, there's a variety of indoor seating including tables, booths, and the bar. I will be back soon!! read more

The food here is amazing! We went for dinner and the scallops were spectacular!! Of course I forgot to take a pic but they are a must try! The egg rolls were flavorful.

Mirella's on Division and Hoyne is a great weekend brunch spot. The food is good and priced well, but more importantly they are one of the few remaining places with a decent kid's menu. This is the 2 sliders and fries, a good sized portion. The dining room is nice and brightly lit. We went at 11 am In a Sunday and it was pretty empty. Give them a chance! read more

Recently saw this new restaurant from a Yelp event and wanted to try it out. So glad to have seen this because it brought me to this wonderful new restaurant in my area! Everything was incredibly flavorful! The lobster Mac and cheese had so much lobster and may be the best lobster Mac I've ever had. Paired well with light salad and had to try the side Mexican corn and so happy I did! They have a beautiful back patio with several televisions so was able to also see the opening Olympics ceremony while dining here which was a nice surprise. Service is good despite other reviews. They are very kind and thoughtful. Yes it does provide a longer dining experience but you dont want to hurry through either in this nice atmosphere. Definitely memorable in how kind the servers were! I plan to come back soon for brunch! I hope to try everything on this menu! Chef is excellent! Highly recommend! read more

Gotta say we really wanted to like this place. They recently added in a beautiful patio with amazing greenery. We did get a nice patio seat and just wanted to order some small apps with drinks. The service was friendly but unbelievably slow. It was slow to the point we wanted a second drink but ended up canceling it before it came out because it was taking so long between the times we'd see the server. I ended up going to the hostess to close the tab because we had been waiting 20 min just to try to close and leave. I overheard 3 other parties with similar issues. The food: I would almost come back for the elote which was fantastic, lightly charred with tasty toppings. The fries were crispy. The Brussels needed much less sauce they weee soggy and personally over sweet but still edible. Try at your own risk and maybe pick a time when they aren't busy to get quicker service. read more

Absolutely wonderful! The burger was amazing AND the service was beyond fantastic. I called ahead to check on dog-friendliness and the hostess was really kind and welcoming-- very dog friendly place. When we got here she set us up with a doggie bowl of water and some treats and mentioned a pup menu is on the way! Really, ambiance is everything and she really made the visit (along with the dog friendly vibes!) read more

My husband had a business dinner here. He ordered me the lobster mac and cheese. The presentation was ok. The issue is the mac and cheese is dry. It was bland and needed much more cheese to make it creamy. The flavor profile was lack luster. He just thought it was ok. I didn't like it at all. read more

Went here for Mother's Day brunch and everything was outstanding. They have implemented a new menu so it seemed like they were working through some things but great hostesses.

I'm obsessed with this place! First they stole my heart with their peri peri chicken, then they stole my soul with the crab spaghetti! I was not crazy about the fried food but their entrees are amazing. Not to mention they have 2 beautiful patios; one in the inside and one outside. I've always had great service and I love that they will split the plate for you if you choose to share read more

What a great restaurant , first , the food is top notch , bursting with unique flavors. The menu is diverse and thoughtful. I've been there a half dozen times with my family and the service has always been on point , as well as cheerful and friendly . The there's the familial style of Chef/Host Jose . That he cares deeply about his craft and his customers is ever present. Some recommendations : Tuna Tartare , Pork Chop, Scallops, Brussels and Long Green Beans. And of course... The Burger . My son is a burger expert, and this is his city wide favorite . What are you waiting for ? This is a gem in Wicker Park. Do yourself and your gang a favor , insist on your next night out right here on Division with Chef Jose and family David Curran read more

We ordered the Angry Chef eggrolls to start and entrees were the Peri Peri roasted chicken and the Mirella Burger. Everything was delicious. Service at the bar was impeccable. Taylor(sp), our bartender was quite attentive. Ambience was good. The music was a little loud for there only being a few people at the bar. But I understand showing an inviting and exciting environment to the outside pedestrians. Would definitely return to try other items on the menu. And there back atrium type patio looks cool. read more

Mirella's Tavern opened up their doors for a neighborhood event last week and served up a wonderful free buffet. The service was amazing - from the hostess, to our waitress, the bussers, the chefs, bartenders and the owner. We felt welcome and appreciated. This buffet had chicken wings, sliders, Mac and cheese egg rolls (yum), charcuterie, kale caesar salad, broccoli, mashed potatoes, fried chicken, and more. All drinks were balanced, and great value. Delish! Thank you so much for hosting us and we can't wait to come back! Tip: they have a gorgeous back enclosed patio! Seems perfect for summer brunch. read more

fire cocktails, pretty lights, light vibe, and kind staff get the "beautiful day" drink it's so yummy

Seated by the hostess on a Friday night with maybe 5 groups in the whole place and we never got a "hello" or "be right with you" for 20 minutes while 4 different servers walked by us. Too many good places on division to go to a place with bad service, try somewhere else. read more

We live just around the corner and eat at Mirella's about twice a month. The food is consistently very good, which keeps us coming back! That said, the service often feels stretched thin due to what seems like understaffing. While we'll likely continue visiting because it's so close and the food is great, we'd love to see an improvement in the service experience. Mirella's has a lot of potential to be truly exceptional with just a bit more attention to staffing. read more
