Miceli's Restaurant - Los Angeles

I've always loved Miceli's and go at least once a year. The food is consistently terrific, no matter what I order. I'm impressed with the remarkable musical talent of the wait staff who could easily be on the theater stage and enjoy their wide repertoire of songs. When you make a reservation, they get you seated on time. This last visit, however, it was terribly noisy. The microphones and speakers for the performers seemed to be turned on low volume because I could barely hear the music and vocalists. I've been there several times during busy Saturday and Friday nights and could always hear the music just fine. Perhaps there were unusually rowdy patrons that night. I've been there for lunch when there were no performers and the food is terrific even if you don't get the live musical show.

Miceli's, hasn't changed much over the years. The portions are large, the food is traditional old school Italian. It's good, not amazing if you like fresher, lighter fare. But if you want a big bowl of pasta and some Chianti, and singing and atmosphere you'll be happy.

We were three friends getting together after not seeing each other for a few years. One of us had two children an infant and a toddler. We went for an early lunch in the restaurant which was very quiet (at that time) and our server was very accommodating as well as entertaining the children. We had a great time and though we left a mess (the rambunctious toddler would not sit still), staff was more than happy to take care of us. It was good comfort food and we all enjoyed our entrees. Our waitperson really made our day by being very sweet to the children.

Joe is the perfect host. Is our go to place, perfect!

A fantastically fun place. The waiters and waitresses are such good singers, the may be next years grammy winners
