Found this place by accident and glad we did. We came in for lunch and the place was empty. The atmosphere is everything! One of a kind Italian setting. We ordered pizza, salad, and pasta with each dish being 5/5.

My wife and I love this place. The chicken picante is delicious. And we get it with the gluten free penne. Which is actually the best tasting gluten free pasta I've had. Our last visit, we were seated right away. And our server was very nice. I especially love the ambiance of the restaurant, the low lighting. And of COURSE the fabulous singing waiters and waitresses! We've really enjoyed ourself each visit. Miceli's is an LA staple.

So I wanna start off by saying I was at Universal all day and had not had a bite to eat because I was waiting to come here. The service was immaculate. They sang me songs all night! I had the espresso martini, it was delicious... don't get me started with the lasagna. The lasagna was to die for RIP. Anyone that has a had "bad" service it's because the waiter was singing you a symphony of beautiful music.. what is not to like about this place?!! amen.

I'm a big fan of the original Miceli's, on Las Palmas Ave. The kitschy decor, the piano player, the singing servers and the family-style fare are all part of the experience. You don't go to Miceli's for gourmet Italian cuisine - you go to be fed and entertained (amused?). Opened in 1980. the Cahuenga location is pretty much the same. The Miceli's Special Pizza (Pepperoni, Sausage, Meatball, Salami, Mushroom, Onion and Bell Pepper) is excellent. Also tasty is the Linguini with Garlic and Olive Oil. Unfortunately the side dish of Meatballs and Peppers , seemed to lack a bit of flavor, but everything else, was good. The Special Pizza alone, is enough reason to go to Miceli's. The full bar, good service and the singing are a bonus!

Aside from the delicious food and fun atmosphere. This restaurant has a family homie vibe to it. The employees are very kind and helpful. I lost an item when I was there and one of the employees, Joe, went out of his way to help me find it. Very wonderful and wholesome family restaurant!!!

Italian restaurant, clean, beautiful facilities, friendly staff, the waiters sing, they have a piano right there. The food is very good, adequate prices for what they offer. The whole family liked it a lot. Totally recommended.

Home cooked meals and friendly servers / we enjoyed the singing though it started late(5pm).
Ambiance is special. Live music is wonderful. The alfredo is far too garlicky for me. Shouldn't be such a strong, overwhelming flavor of raw garlic. But it is a nice place to go and enjoy Hollywood...

1st Time here. Really enjoyed the singing the waiters and waitresses did. Food is really good, prices are reasonable. The food portions are Big, you probably won't finish it. Try the the garlic cheese bread ?. Yes I will definitely be going back.Kid-friendliness: The staff is very friendly, kids will enjoy it.Wheelchair accessibility: Wheel chairs can enter through back door entrance easily.

Great food and fun atmosphere with live singing and piano. The waiters take turns singing classics. Fun for the family. Usually busy between 7-10pm. Parking is scarce but usually street parking can be found.

Chera was a lovely server with a beautiful singing voice. The staff here sing to the patrons throughout the evening. The food was outstanding as is the restaurant ambience. Great place to eat before making the short drive to the Pantages theater.
The best!
