How have I not written a review for Miceli's yet? This is one of my favorite places in Hollywood to grab some lunch. It's a neat little old school Italian restaurant. They have traditional Italian food, and pizza. Another thing that's unique about michelli's is that their servers and some of their staff will occasionally sing in the dining room. The restaurant has a great atmosphere, and it's a nice little place to stop and check out and have a bite to eat. The pizza is pretty good, it's not the best pizza in the world, but it's certainly not bad. Like I said, very good pizza. They also have other entree Italian food dishes. I've had the manicotti on several occasions it's very good. I've never had anyone complain about the quality of the food that they got here. The tiramisu is also at especially good treat. The only downside to this location is that it's difficult to find parking, without having to pay a lot. But, if you're already in the area and are looking for a nice place with some good atmosphere to have a pizza, I can't recommend this place enough.

Miceli's is classic Italian fare served in classic Hollywood style. Great service, great food, great drinks and the decor is almost like going to an Italian restaurant if it was conceived by Disney. Just a true classic. What more can I say? It is just great and reasonably-priced. Whether you are a tourist or a local, Miceli's always delivers. One of my all-time favorite Italian restaurants with no pretension and just great basic Italian food the way it was meant to be!

A Hollywood icon and landmark. The dream of the classic Italian restaurant of your imagination with dark wood carvings, checkered tablecloths and a billion Chianti bottles hanging from the ceiling. The live pianist on the mezzanine is just magical and he's joined onstage by the occasional server, who all seem to be professional singers. The red sauce Italian is very good, but there is no food on Earth that can compare with the incredible atmosphere and overwhelming nostalgia of Miceli's.

Great service (fast and friendly) and great atmosphere (enjoyed how the staff would take turns singing). And food was very good.

100% recommended. I came here with my family for our first time. We loved the food, the vibe, the live music and the fact that all the waiters and waitresses were singers. If you haven't been here, and you're thinking about trying this place out, do it! Side note: Our waitress, Avella, was awesome, props to her.

Miceli's is a family tradition for us. When my dad was a struggling college kid in 1961, he brought my mom here on their first fancy romantic date. Dad wanted to impress her, and I guess it worked, because they got married in 1962, and I was born 15 months after that. You could say I owe my life to Miceli's! Over the years, Mom and Dad would come to Miceli's to celebrate their anniversary or a birthday, and the experience continued to be memorable and magical. Mom is no longer with us, but my husband and I decided last year to keep the tradition alive, and last year and this year we brought Dad to Miceli's to celebrate their anniversary. Still memorable and wonderful! The food, the music, the ambience, the drinks -- everything is wonderful. We've been lucky enough to be greeted by Frank Miceli each time we've brought Dad. Frank's love for the restaurant is evident, and it's infectious. His parents started the restaurant together in 1949, decorating the walls and ceilings with campy Chianti bottles, booths rescued from the famous Pig 'n' Whistle, and lovely carved woodwork and stained glass accents throughout. We ordered calamari and antipasto for starters, and a rye Old fashioned for my husband and an Italian 75 for me. The drinks were a generous size, and potent and flavorful. Calamari was tender, served as rings with very little breading, light garlic, lemon wedges, and a fresh marinara sauce on the side. Antipasto was simple with a nice mix of roasted red pepper, salami, cheese, fresh tomato, lettuce, peperoncini, olives, and a light dressing. Both were a decent amount of food for the three of us. For the mains, I had shrimp scampi. Served on a bed of al dente vermicelli in white wine sauce, the shrimp were succulent and abundant, popping out of their tails with little effort. The pasta was nicely seasoned, and was a generous portion. My husband had the carbonara -- also a generous portion with perfectly cooked fettuccini, rustic-sliced thick bacon, and a sauce that wasn't thick or greasy, allowing the flavors to come through. Dad had the baked mostaccioli, and his dish may have been the best of all 3 for its authenticity and flavor: al dente mostaccioli filled with delicious meat and sauce, the perfect balance of fennel and spices to really make the tomato base POP and wake up the senses. We really enjoyed our meals! We saved room for an affogato and a slice of cheese cake, both winners! Throughout the meal, we were well-cared for by our server, and the piano music was playful and wonderful, two of the wait staff sang several times -- hitting the high notes with confidence -- and the vibe in the restaurant was wonderful. Frank came by to check on us personally a couple of times and shared more stories of his family history going back to Palermo, and he was eager to hear more about us, too. After a leisurely two hour dinner and drinks, we bade our farewells, and are already looking forward to next time. Miceli's is a place that makes magic. It makes memories that last a lifetime. Miceli's is an important part of our family history, and of L.A. history. I hope our daughters and their families will also continue the tradition of experiencing this kind of magic. I truly hope the next generation of the Miceli family knows how special this place is, and the deep and lasting love that touches so many people, and that they are waiting in the wings to take the reins one day.

Go for the complete experience of it! So much history fills the air. It's like stepping through time. You expect to see Frank Sinatra or some starlet sitting near by. Can imagine a mafia meeting in the upper room. Who even knows what went on in the lower level! So many menu options, but had to get the pizza, and so glad I did! Fantastic FULL bar. Enjoy The architecture, artwork, ornate ceiling, so much for the eyes and the appetite! Live piano music sets the mood.
