YORKTOWN, NY — Miraggio is back.
Miraggio Mediterranean Restaurant celebrated its grand opening on Monday in a fully renovated space.
The 300-seat, family-run restaurant first opened in Yorktown Heights in 1992 at 90 Triangle Center, and then closed in 2018.
The owners say that while the interior may look different, the family-style menu has the same focus on northern Italian dishes as before, with new Mediterranean elements added.
“It’s a distinct privilege and honor to welcome you back to Yorktown,” Supervisor Ed Lachterman said during a ribbon-cutting ceremony. “We’ve been customers here many, many years and it was always a place where memories were made. We met some lifelong friends here. For my wife and I, you are a great place, and we always had a great time.”
Miraggio is owned by Par Shakiban, a longtime Westchester restaurateur with businesses throughout the county, including Patisserie Salzburg in Rye and Medi-Bistro in White Plains.
The restaurant is located in the two-level Triangle Shopping Center, which is undergoing a multimillion-dollar overhaul, including a new façade, parking lot, lighting and landscaping. Other businesses at Triangle are Acme Supermarket, Bank of America, Anytime Fitness and Goldfish Swim School.
“We are thrilled to welcome Miraggio to Triangle Shopping Center. The owner is a seasoned restaurateur who has owned and operated several restaurants in the greater New York market over his 40-year career,” said Jeff Kintzer, Principal of Royal Properties, which handles leasing at Triangle Shopping Center. “We currently have several deals pending which we hope to announce in the near future.”
The town says that Triangle is the latest shopping center in Yorktown to experience a revival after the renaissance of the Yorktown Green shopping center with the arrival of T.J. Maxx, Five Below and Michaels.
