Miceli's - Hollywood

My family and I had the most amazing experience dining here. Excellent food, top notch service, and authentic Italian dining ambience (live piano music which my whole family loved!) We truly appreciate the friendly service from the manager (I believe?) since we were welcomed at the door, to down to the food service. To cap it off, we were already a block away, when the manager ran looking for us cause my son left his watch! What great effort, righr? I’m sure my son would remember this place forever! We truly appreciate the gesture. We will definitely be back!❤️

Amazing restaurant with live music. The chicken francaise pasta I had was delicious and I need to have it again!

Amazing, old skool Italian with great atmosphere & wonderful service! We celebrated the last night of our US trip here with a special blowout dinner. Yum!!! Veal Marsala & Lasagne were delicious! Glorious live piano in the background 💗💗💗

Fantastic food - great ambiance in a traditional Italian restaurant. If your looking for the perfect meal, candles (LED) on the tables and live piano and waitstaff that sings too, this is a must stop, family owned, local eatery. Service was adequate, but a bit slow at times (took nearly 10 mins for first contact from our waitress). Still, if we lived in this area, this would be a regular place for us, no doubt about it.

A very nice ambiance sets this delightful Italian diner. It's a staple of legendary Hollywood dining. The food is excellent as well as the service. We had lasagna and chicken parmesan. So good. As well, enjoy the live music of a wonderful piano player adding a nice character to the evening. If you've never been to this legendary restaurant, give it go.

Miceli's Italian Restaurant in Hollywood is a true classic! Established in 1949, it's the oldest Italian restaurant in Hollywood and has been serving up delicious, traditional Italian-American fare for over 70 years. Walking through the doors is like stepping back in time, with its red-checkered tablecloths, vintage photos, and charmingly old-school atmosphere. Yes, it's a touristy spot (and for good reason!), but don't let that deter you. The food is fantastic, and the experience is truly unique. Where else can you enjoy a plate of spaghetti and meatballs while being serenaded by singing waiters? Speaking of the food, the marinara sauce is absolutely incredible. It's rich, flavorful, and has just the right amount of tang. It's a reminder that Italian-American cuisine, while distinct from traditional Italian cooking, has its own rich history and traditions. The marinara sauce, for example, evolved in the US from simple tomato sauces brought over by Italian immigrants who then adapted them using ingredients readily available in America. We also tried the Miceli's location in Universal City, and while it lacks the historical charm of the original, the food was equally delicious. And the pizza? It's a classic California-style pizza, thin crust with generous toppings, the kind that some (like Flavio Briatore with his Crazy Pizza) try to claim as their own original creation. Overall, Miceli's is a must-visit for anyone looking for a taste of old-school Hollywood and delicious Italian-American comfort food. The location is fantastic, the food is great, and the singing waiters add a touch of fun and nostalgia. Highly recommend!

Our experience was excellent! My son and I dined here and, because we had a late lunch and saw that the portions were huge, we asked to share an appetizer and an entree. Some waiters tend to look disappointed and even annoyed when a table orders one entree but our server was so nice and offered to split it onto two plates for us. The food was GREAT and the portions were perfect when we shared. The restaurant has so much character and, although completely full, wasn't so loud that we couldn't have a conversation. The singing waiters are incredibly entertaining but, again, not so loud that everything stops when they start.

Always fantastic. My suggestion is to get the calamari followed by the best chicken or veal marsala you ever had promptly concluded by cappuccino and tiramisu. You won't regret it.

Beautiful ambiance, food was phenomenal and fresh, staff is so kind and welcoming. Come here every time I’m in the area and am never disappointed.

We loved the lasagna and fried zucchini. The eggplant parmigiano was pretty good but I prefer the eggplant in red sauce. The rolls were a bit salty to us but not bad. I'd give them five stars just for being interesting. The dark, carved wood with the stained glass light and chianti bottles everywhere made for a unique ambience. Wish I'd gotten some singing but it was a slow lunch hour when I was there.

Amazing food , and such a quaint, Italian atmosphere! Beautiful!! Servers were so kind and attentive! Came here before the 80's concert at the Hollywood Bowl!🔥🍝🍜

I have no complaints. The food is amazing. I invited my family to meet up for mothers day dinner. They were a bit skeptical since their Normal Italian spot is Vincent's in Rancho. But 😏😏😏😏hey, Than there's this Place that makes you wanna Eat till you can't no more. 😅 Two people ordered spaghetti 🍝

I love this place SO much and would come here more often if LA traffic wasn't what it is. Words really can't describe what needs to be seen and experienced first hand. How can you truly describe ambiance? This place is dripping with Old Hollywood charm. The food and service are equally fantastic!

Open since 1949 this is a famous restaurant in LA known for singing waiters and good Italian food. Although tonight we did not hear any singing waiters, but it was also very busy and they were short staffed. They also have a location up in the valley but this Hollywood location was the original. It’s also known to be the first pizzeria in LA, although I have heard Barone’s up in the valley is the first, especially since that location was opened in 1945. Inside is like old Hollywood complete with thousands of old Chianti bottles hanging from the rafters. They have a parking lot behind the restaurant that validates your parking. You pay when you park but the restaurant then compensates you, however we were able to find metered parking close by on N Las Palmas for a 7PM Saturday dinner. Tonight was our first time trying Miceli’s. Our waiter was really nice, professional, and made the experience a nice one. We started the meal off with Antipasto Salad and it was very tasty with a healthy sized portion. It really hit the spot and was a great start to the meal. Being that they are famous for pizza I had to do that as my entree tonight. I chose the medium sized Clam and Garlic Pizza and really enjoyed it. It is not a woodfire pizza, which is my favorite and the most authentic, but still it was very good. The sauce really made it and they didn’t short the ingredients. Overall a really tasty and casual American Italian dinner in a warm and romantic setting. I plan to be back in the future to try some of their pasta and entree dishes.

Delicious veggie house pizza, iconic Hollywood spot, gorgeous interior and live music that feels like it’s playing softly in the background from an old radio. Perfect old Hollywood nostalgia. I’m in love and can’t wait to come back ♥️

We stumbled upon Miceli's while walking the Hollywood stars. Piano player and waitresses/waiters singing begins at 6 pm, which added to the historic ambiance! My husband had Aunt Angie's lasagna and I had the vegetable cacciatore with cheesy garlic bread! Everything was very good! Our waiter, Oliver, was excellent and a great singer! Parking is $4 with validation at the nearby lot. Highly recommended!!

We had a great time here, really nice Hollywood vibe. Manager went out of his way to find us a great table, service was good and the writers singing great entertainment. Our good was also very nice. Would re immend a visit if in that part of town.

This was my first time visiting this restaurant. When entering into this restaurant, it has a very nice rustic atmosphere, and the food is amazing. You can definitely tell the food is all made from scratch and home made. This restaurant is hollywood history, and whem you eat here, the atmosphere and the excellent food makes it no wonder why it is hollywood history.

I recently visited Miceli’s with a group of 15 people for a special occasion. They were very accommodating with our reservation and had everything ready for us upon arrival. Could not have asked for a better experience. The service was terrific and very enjoyable for everyone. The menu had plenty of options for our entire party. The most memorable thing about Miceli”s was the live entertainment. They had an excellent piano player throughout the evening. The staff would rotate up to the piano and sing. It was really a great touch to the experience. I would definitely recommend this restaurant if you are in the Hollywood area and are looking for something memorable and not touristy.

Service is weirdly good. I got the feeling that the servers could work at much more expensive places, but love the restaurant itself. Just really good attuned and elegant people. Also it’s gorgeous inside, obviously.

Incredible dining experience. Absolutely loved this restaurant. Ambience, music, food, and service is impeccable. Brian on the piano made the whole night a delight. Started off with the most delicious bruschetta. Club soda was 🤌🏽😩 got the spinach lasagna and chicken carbonara and both were stupendous. Flavor on flavor. Our waiter was phenomenal. World class service. He surprised with an incredible singing voice. A memorable date night out celebrating my wife’s birthday was a success thanks to this absolute gem. 💎

The music is very amazing. The pianist (Bryan) is playing with soul and heart. A lot of classical songs that brought us unforgettable memory. Not to mention the Italian food was very well served. The waiter was also very sweet and care and he suddenly sung a song with his professional drama play voice!! That was unexpected and what a surprise to us! Finally, the restaurant is Kids friendly so the my family enjoyed a beautiful live music with delicious Italian food at our last night of the LA trip. It was our best night ever! Thank you!

Wonderful atmosphere , food, and staff! The waiter sings between tables and has a lovely voice along with a great pianist. The bartender went through the trouble of finding a drink recipe to make me happy! 10/10

Great atmosphere, with unique decorations, songs sung by the staff and lively piano playing at might time. The staff was great and helped us with anything we wanted. The food was amazing and had unique options they only make there. Love it!

Came here for first time, had heard the food was good. The inside of restaurant is pretty cool. Was seated quickly, server was polite and friendly. Ordered drinks and appetizers along with a pizza we decided to get for dinner. The appetizers came out in timely fashion, and were amazing, the meatballs were juicy and seasoned well, the bread was dense and cheesy, both very good. Our pizza for some reason took an hour to come out, which honestly wouldn't have been a big deal if our server had told us what was going on, if a mistake was made, that happens, we would have understood, but no communication. Lucky for us the apps were so good we were pretty full, lol, the restaurant did give us the pizza for free, which they didn't need to do, but was an awesome gesture. The pizza was worth the wait, probably 1 of the best ive had in a long time. Definitely would recommend this place and will be back again soon.

We were looking for an old Italian atmosphere and Micelis didn't disappoint there. There is even piano music in the evenings. The service was excellent. My friends dish was amazing and fresh. I ordered a mitai (sic) and got some lime thing. Then I ordered Fettuccine Alfredo with chicken, and it was awful. The pasta was super chewy, stuck together, and the chicken was super dry and not fresh. The sauce was good. I felt like the pasta abs chicken was warmed up or something from yesterday. It looked nothing like my friends dish that had fresh, moist chicken. And for almost $30 a plate with nothing else included, i was very disappointed. I didn't complain because I'm always afraid of what would happen in the back, but it was a disappointment out of a great evening otherwise.

Food was all delicious, the Sausage Cacciatore and Fettuccine Carbonara were the best! The ambiance and wood decor on the interior is stunning and we loved the vibe. Live piano music and our waiter did sing a song and had an amazing voice. Prices are average but go for the history, vibe and food.

Excellent food, hard to find seats, excellent live music! The pianist heard me mention Beethoven and started playing the Liszt transcription of the 6th symphony. I was beyond impressed!

This place just screams fun. Walking in is like stepping back in time. Looking up, you wonder if this is a Hollywood prop or did someone drink that much Chianti. The sound of piano hits you as you step inside. And for the lover of movies or stage, you'll recognize the tunes. And stick around long enough, the staff may pick up a microphone and sing a tune. The food is definitely shareable, so choose wisely. The Pizza options are good for families, and the salads are just too large for one person. The lasagne is good and hearty while the chicken lasagne disappeared from my friends plate too quickly for me to even attempt a taste. While I only gave the food 3 stars, it isn't because it's bad, but it doesn't stand out. But if you are in Hollywood and have a group of people to feed, this is a terrific place. You get good food, an amazing atmosphere and possibly a show all for a reasonable price.

We ordered take-out to watch the Rams game at home. It was easy to order online. This was our first time ordering from Miceli’s. The pizza, spaghetti, ravioli, and cheese bread were delicious. We will definitely return to Miceli’s.

Great ambiance. Mozzarella sticks and spaghetti were great. I'm a Caesar salad lover and did not love this one tho.

Stayed one night in Hollywood and decided to give Miceli’s a chance seeing they had dinner and live music. Seated within a couple minutes, but the rest of the evening took forever to get any of the staff’s attention. Waited approximately 15 minutes to get drinks ordered, and ordered food at the same time. Our waiter was extremely helpful when we could get his attention, but he rarely came around unless food was being brought out or passing by to take another tables order. I was not impressed by the portions of food compared to the price. My daughters $15 kids meal had almost the same amount of food my $24 meal and hers came with dessert and a drink. Altogether spent around an hour and a half to two hours in the restaurant with majority of the time waiting and listening to the live music.

Came to this restaurant tonight as was struggling to find somewhere Food was average but portions were quite large They were good at refilling our sodas when we finished a glass Meal was quite pricey and given the quality we wouldn’t return

Miceli’s has an incredible old-school Hollywood atmosphere that makes you feel like you’ve stepped back in time. Unfortunately, the food doesn’t live up to the setting. The red sauce was overly sweet and tasted past its prime, the shrimp oreganata lacked flavor and was overpriced, and the spinach lasagna came out stale. The one highlight was the cannoli, which was delicious. Overall, it’s a shame such a beautiful restaurant falls short on the food—I don’t think I’d return.

The interior design is so beautiful. But the food is so trash, I have never seen restaurant, specifically Italian restaurant make pasta like This. It very mild tasteless past ever. I would make Better past than the cook they had behind the kichen. Me and my family visited the restaurant around 1 pm and they had good server’s that were attentive but the food was really bad. I’m a past and pizza lover but this time I had to just leave as is with one or two bites. Imagine you being located around walk of fame Hollywood and serve this kind is pasta.

Gorgeous restaurant, lots of history, love all the wine bottles hanging from the ceiling. Probably the worst pizza I've ever had. Lasagne was good, I'd recommend ordering that. Service was very slow, and they weren't that busy. If you're hanging around Hollywood, and don't want to eat at a chain, you might consider Miceli's.

The resturaunt has a charming atmosphere and unique history, but that is about the most positive aspect of the experience. We were one of the only groups in the resturaunt, but service took about an hour. The food was not particularly special except for in its pricing, which was pretty extreme.

The food was just not good... we ordered 2 kinds of pizzas, even the margarita wasn't good (for some reason they put a lot of fresh garlic on the pizza). We also ordered a few pasta dishes, none were tasty. Also because we were 6 people they automatically charged us for 20% service. It also very darkamd loud.

After going to the El Capitan Theatre, after watching Lady and the tramp, I decided to take my kids here so that we can re-create a little spaghetti moment from the movie. The vibes are immaculate. The place is beautiful. The live music is wonderful and I was surprised to know that all the waiters and we just could sing we ordered a small kids, pepperoni pizza, spaghetti marinara sauce with meat and a fettuccine Alfredo with chicken and cheesy garlic bread. Unfortunately the food was not that great. The cheesy garlic bread was raw in the middle and I had a raw dough and it was chewy. I thought I was pulling apart pieces of cheese, but turns out it was actually the raw dough. My fettuccine was super al dente. I understand the fettuccine noodles are a little bit on the hard side, but I think that they were in a rush because it was Valentine’s Day. The spaghetti was a little bit too sweet. I was still charged for the fettuccine Alfredo even though I did not eat it. I only took one bite. They did offered to remake it, but at that time we would’ve overstay because we only had the table until 8 o’clock and the food was taking a little bit a long time to come out because of the fact that it was Valentine’s Day and it was full it’s a fun place but the food is not that great.

My husband and I went here for dinner before heading over to a concert. We ordered prosciutto with melon, and order of the steamed mussels and chicken parmigiana. All of it was terrible. The mussels were dry, you could tell they had been overcooked/steamed and had been sitting in the kitchen for a bit. The pasta sauce was like a jar of Ragu sauce had been opened and poured over the pasta. We asked for an extra plate so we could split the chicken. Asked three times. The dinner rolls were hard and stale. I'm surprised this restaurant is still in business.
