Italian Song Night with Una Come Me Concert
Book on GetYourGuide →Operated by Ellington Club · Bookable on GetYourGuide
That 60s TV vibe is the hook.
This Italian Song Night with Una Come Me turns the classic feel of 1960s Italian variety shows into a live stage event, built around an ensemble sound close to songs from Lelio Luttazzi and the famous TV spirit of Milleluci. I love that the show is more than a concert: it’s a 9-performer lineup with a live band and dance troupe working in full “variety show” mode. I also like that dinner is part of the night, with traditional Mediterranean dishes served during the show build-up. One thing to keep in mind: drinks are not included, so your total bill can rise if you plan to order cocktails.
Timing is straightforward, and the mood is part of the plan.
Entry begins at 8:00 PM, dinner starts from 8:30 PM, and the show runs for about 2 hours, typically kicking off between 9:30 PM and 10:00 PM. It’s a small group limited to 10 people, and the host or greeter speaks Italian and English, which helps if you want to understand the acts as they happen. A possible drawback: one review noted the set menu quality could be improved, so if you’re a picky eater, go in expecting a solid dinner rather than a top-tier dining experience.

How the 1960s Italian variety-show idea comes to life in Lazio

If you like the sound and staging language of classic TV entertainment, this show is built for you. Una Come Me (named after a famous song by Lelio Luttazzi) stages the atmosphere of 1960s Italian variety television in a live setting. Think ensemble energy—singing and dancing together, quick transitions between acts, and a sense that the whole room is watching one coordinated performance rather than drifting between separate events.
What makes it interesting is the way the production repurposes the setting and sounds of that era. The goal is not nostalgia for nostalgia’s sake. It’s more like a reenactment in spirit: the show cues feel familiar to anyone who loves those golden-age Italian performers, while still being a modern live event you can attend in person.
Also, the performer lineup matters. You’re not just getting a singer with a band. The show is built around a mix: dancers, a singer, and a live band, then the final picture framed by a burlesque style of performance. That combination is a big reason why people rate this experience highly. One review praised the evening and singled out the hostess and artistic staff for bringing that 60s music feel to life in a way that actually entertains.

Your evening schedule: entry, dinner, and the show window

This is the kind of night where arriving at the right time improves everything. Here’s the timing you can plan around:
- You can enter the club starting at 8:00 PM
- Dinner can be served from 8:30 PM
- The show starts between 9:30 PM and 10:00 PM
- Total experience time is about 2 hours
That structure shapes the pacing. You’re not sitting in total silence waiting for the main event. The dinner window gives you something to do, and it also helps the room settle into the evening rhythm. If you tend to get hungry or impatient, aim to be seated for dinner as soon as service begins.
Because dinner is included with your ticket, it’s worth treating the meal as part of the show plan—not an afterthought. The venue is clearly set up for you to transition from eating to watching without hunting for information or figuring out the flow.
Dinner included: what you get and what to watch for

One of the best value angles here is simple: your ticket includes table and dinner. That matters because you’re buying one price that covers both the performance and a meal, rather than paying separately for food.
The menu is described as traditional Mediterranean dishes. That’s a broad style, so you can expect a familiar Mediterranean direction rather than something exotic or difficult to eat. In a positive review, dinner was mentioned as excellent, with refined environment and attentive staff. That’s a strong signal that the meal experience can work well for most people.
Still, balance matters. Another review said the show was okay but the set menu quality could be improved. So my practical advice: treat the dinner as included comfort food for the night, not a gourmet destination in itself. If food quality is your top priority, you might still enjoy the night overall, but you should not assume it’s a fine-dining meal.
The show itself: a 60s-style ensemble performance with a burlesque finish
The heart of the experience is the performance. Vera Dragone presents the show, built around the idea of classic Italian TV variety entertainment. There are 9 performers on stage, and the acts are structured around ensemble numbers—singing and dancing that echo the style of unforgettable performers from that era.
Here’s what to expect in terms of the show “ingredients,” based on the description:
- A live band that powers the music live, not through recordings
- A dance troupe delivering choreography as part of the narrative
- A singer within the ensemble flow
- A burlesque element near the end that adds theatrical sensuality
The burlesque part is described as elegant and seductive, designed to contribute to the mood of the show. The production even frames it in a cinematic way—almost like you’re watching a glamorous, iconic striptease moment set to a classic soundtrack. If you’re comfortable with stage burlesque as performance art, it should come across as playful drama rather than anything awkward.
This is also where the “variety show” format helps you. Instead of watching one long set by a single artist, you experience a sequence of shifting moods—music, dance, singing, and then the stylized finale. That keeps energy up and suits different tastes: people who come for music and people who come for performance theater can both get what they want.
Live music and why it changes the feel of the night
A live band doesn’t just make the sound better. It changes the room. You can feel timing, crowd attention, and the rhythm of transitions. In a show like this, where the structure borrows from 1960s television pacing, having musicians in the room supports that effect.
The show’s repertoire is described as taking cues from the ensemble numbers that defined those classic entertainers. In practice, that means you’re watching performances that feel built for the era’s stage-and-music language: coordinated vocals, dance-driven momentum, and a setting that treats the music as a full production element.
One of the strongest review signals aligns with this. The highest rating mentioned how the artistic team entertained with the 60s music that the reviewer likes so much. In other words, the music tone and performance style aren’t just decorative. They land as the main attraction.
Cocktails during the show: included vibe, but not included drinks
Your ticket includes dinner and a table, not beverages. The description also notes a list of original cocktails made by the bartenders. That’s a fun detail because it suggests the venue is leaning into the theme rather than just offering standard bar pours.
So here’s how to use this info without surprises: if you want cocktails, plan for it in your budget. Because beverages aren’t included, ordering drinks will increase the price beyond the base ticket.
If you’re watching costs, you could do a simple strategy: pick one cocktail to match the night’s style, then stick to water. This keeps the experience feeling special without turning the evening into a bigger expense than you planned.
The room, the vibe, and the small-group advantage
This is a small group experience limited to 10 participants. That’s not a throwaway detail. A smaller group often means:
- you’re less lost in crowds
- staff attention can be more consistent
- the show’s atmosphere is easier to “read” as an event rather than a performance you’re just attending
Reviews back up the atmosphere point. One top review praised the reception, refined environment, and attentive staff, and also highlighted an excellent hostess who helped entertain the group with the 60s music. Even though reviews can vary, that combination—staff warmth plus an intentional show—usually signals a place designed for a smooth, low-stress evening.
Price and value: is $54.38 a fair deal?
At $54.38 per person, you’re paying for a package, not just a seat. The ticket includes table and dinner, and you’re getting a staged production with live music, dancers, and a burlesque component. For many people, that’s the value equation: you’re buying an evening out where food and entertainment are bundled.
Where the value can feel different is dinner quality. Since one review said the set menu quality could be improved, some nights may feel more satisfying than others on the food side. But the show itself seems to be the main driver: the highest rating praised the overall evening and the hostess and artistic staff.
My view on value: if you want a themed, high-effort performance night—and you like the 1960s Italian variety-show feel—this is priced in a reasonable range because it covers both the meal and the show. If you’re only interested in the performance and you’re also very food picky, you might end up wishing the dinner was stronger. Either way, you’ll still be seeing a full production for your money.
Who should book, and who might feel “meh”
This night is a good match if you:
- love classic Italian entertainment energy and stage performance
- enjoy live band shows and choreographed dance
- are curious about tasteful burlesque as part of a theatrical finale
- want an evening with dinner included, in a small-group setting
You might think twice if:
- you dislike burlesque elements entirely, even when presented as elegant theater
- you want a top-tier gourmet meal as the main part of the ticket
- you’re going only for cocktails and nightlife and expect beverages to be included
Practical planning tips for the best experience
Here’s how to make your night smoother with the info you already have:
- Arrive early enough to settle in. Entry starts at 8:00 PM, and dinner is from 8:30 PM. If you drift in late, you risk eating after the mood has already started shifting toward the show.
- Plan for the show start window. The show begins between 9:30 PM and 10:00 PM. This means you should be mentally ready for a wait, but it’s a “nice wait” because dinner is happening.
- Don’t assume drinks are covered. Beverages aren’t included, even though the venue offers original cocktail options.
- Go with friends who match your interests. This is best when at least part of your group is excited about music-and-dance theater.
Should you book Italian Song Night with Una Come Me?
Book it if you want a themed night that feels like classic Italian TV variety—live band, dancers, and a big final with burlesque—paired with dinner and a small-group atmosphere. The strong review praising reception, refined environment, attentive staff, and an excellent hostess is exactly what you hope for in a show-based evening.
Skip it only if burlesque elements make you uncomfortable or if you’d be unhappy with the dinner being a helpful bonus rather than a standout dining highlight. For most people, though, the combined value of dinner + a full production makes this one of those “spend the evening, don’t just watch a show” experiences.
