From Citysearch

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 of celery root, baby leeks and beets, ribboned with horseradish creme sauce. Pasta dishes are usually safe bets; try the rigatoni with tomato ragout, peas and lentils. Or, if it's cold outside, risotto with winter crab, garlic chive and butternut squash sauce.
