  • Miscellaneous:

    • Tickets and information for all shows can be purchased on their website below (under “resources”).

    • Feinstein’s at Vitello’s is an intimate space. There’s really not a bad seat in the house. So as long as you’re okay with the possibility of sharing your table with another party, I’d recommend general admission seating.

    • Should you elect VIP seating and want a booth, please call: 818-769-0905.

    • The Rendition Room technically requires reservations via their website (provided below under “resources”), but they do allow walk-ups based on availability. The menu in the Rendition Room offers exclusive cocktails that can’t be ordered anywhere else in the restaurant. You can order food in the Rendition Room as well.

The Cast of: Feinstein’s Presents: mostly NEW musicals: “Freedom Riders”

There are some pretty amazing combos out there: Batman & Robin, Saturday & Sunday, one ice cream scoop followed by another ice cream scoop, and the simplicity of an amazing dinner coupled with a great night of entertainment! If you’re in search of that last one, do yourself a favor and head over to Feinstein's at Vitello’s. Following in the footsteps of its prior incarnation; Upstairs at Vitello’s, the current supperclub was opened in 2019 by Grammy-nominated crooner; Michael Feinstein, and takes residence on the second floor of Vitello’s; an Italian restaurant that has been a Studio City landmark since the 1960s.

Harkening back to an era of Frank Sinatra and the Rat Pack (who coincidently were regulars at the restaurant), the intimate 120-person venue features a diverse lineup of music, comedy, and theater performances that run almost nightly. Pair that with some of the best Italian food in the valley (might I recommend the Cacio e Pepe with prosciutto) and you’ve got a recipe for a fantastic experience. And just when you thought it couldn’t get any better, you should also know that Vitello’s has a speakeasy called The Rendition Room that is the ideal locale for pre or post performance drinks!
