What People Are Saying About Cicada Restaurant

Featured Review

In Short – The ornate Lalique crystal entryway embellished with gold is a dead giveaway that Cicada's interior is all about glam. Housed in the historic Oviatt Building, this fancy Italian restaurant is where you'll see soaring gold-leaf ceilings and a distinct 1920s art-deco flair. A formal waitstaff politely tends to large groups of businessfolk and Music Center patrons who order from the menu of elegant northern Italian fare. Depending on the season, you might find glossy pearl onions cozying up to plump Maine scallops or filets of New Zealand snapper piled precariously between layers…

Editor's Tips

Know Before You Go:
A complimentary shuttle to the Music Center is available on most nights. Call ahead to confirm.
When to Go:
Saturdays are generally reserved for private parties, so remember to call in reservations.

Drinks are reasonably priced

by Chris Wilder at Citysearch

Great place for a drink with a date, a few friends, or even a small party. Nice atmosphere, something a little different than most places in the city. Drinks are reasonably priced.

Great outdoor dining space..It's much bigger than we expected and was quite busy. The Appetizers were really nice.
