Alonna was absolutely amazing. I am very particular and she handled me like a pro. She’s very intelligent and she knows the restaurant business. We started off with a meat lovers pizza after that was served. We ordered the special lasagna after we split that we had two desserts when was the warm apple pie à la mode and the other one was the tiramisu Alonna did it all perfectly

Great place and lovely atmosphere!! The waiters were singing live and it was a very lively atmosphere with a lot of beautiful decorations inside. The food was very good, too. I loved the complimentary dinner rolls, calamari, and spinach lasagna that I got. Overall, it's a great place with exciting live music and good food overall.

The food was fantastic. Gluten free crust pizza, meatballs and Lasgna. I couldn't have been happier, until I saw Peroni beer on tap. The atmosphere was fun and entertaining. I wasn't expecting our waiter to sing opera!

I hadn’t eaten at this place in about 27 years. The last thing I remembered was that it served very good Italian food. We visited the other night, and it was amazing—authentic Italian cuisine, with live singing staff and a nice little band that added to the atmosphere! The service was excellent. Our server, Brian, was not only a talented singer but also a genuinely friendly and attentive person. I had the Auntie’s Lasagna, which was delicious, and the pizza was some of the best I’ve had in the Valley. We’ll definitely be returning. It was a very fun and enjoyable evening.

It was an amazing experience! We have our server taking our order one minutes and the next she was up in the stage singing so beautifully that I was wondering why she wasn’t on American Idol!! I wouldn’t even come back because of the food, but the atmosphere just makes it all worth it!

A Timeless Italian Gem in Universal City – Famous for Pizza Since 1949 If you're looking for an authentic Italian dining experience in Universal City, this restaurant is a legendary spot, famous for its pizza since 1949. With a warm and inviting ambiance, it offers live music, featuring a talented singer moving from table to table, accompanied by a pianist, creating an unforgettable atmosphere. The service is impeccable—attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable, making you feel like family from the moment you step inside. Of course, the highlight here is the food, and it does not disappoint. The Veal Parmigiana is a standout, featuring a perfectly breaded veal cutlet, topped with rich marinara sauce and melted mozzarella cheese, served alongside a classic spaghetti marinara. But what truly sets this place apart is its famous pizza, a staple since 1949. Whether you go for the classic Pepperoni, Sausage, Meatball, Salami, Mushroom, Onion, and Bell Pepper combination or a more customized creation, every bite is bursting with authentic flavors, a perfectly crisp crust, and the right balance of toppings. To end the meal on a sweet note, Uncle Frank’s Tiramisu is a must-try. Frank Miceli’s twist on the Italian classic brings together a luscious mascarpone mousse, delicate ladyfingers soaked in espresso and liqueurs, creating a rich yet light dessert that is the perfect finale to an incredible meal. With its historic reputation, fantastic live music, top-notch service, and mouthwatering Italian dishes, this restaurant is a must-visit. Whether you're a local or just passing through, it’s an experience you won’t forget. Highly recommended!
