[Cicada
Restaurant Review
Adelmo Zarif’s restaurant has occupied a dazzling Art Deco space in downtown’s historic core since moving from West Hollywood in May 1997. Cicada fills the bottom two stories of the Oviatt Building, featuring towering mahogany pillars, plenty of gold, and pristine white tablecloths. Cicada is a fine-dining establishment that’s especially popular for birthdays, weddings and the occasional marriage proposal. Tokyo native Suzay Cha prepares northern Italian cuisine with Asian accents. The menu changes twice a year, but typically includes Ahi Tuna Tartar with Avocado, Piquillo Peppers and Wasabi Caviar and Pappardelle with Filet Mignon Bolognese Sauce.

Title: | Gorgeous architecture and superb food |
No matter how hungry you are, your eyes will not fail to devour the gorgeous art deco architecture of the old haberdashery-turned-Cicada Restaurant in downtown LA. We had the pleasure of dining early enough to enjoy an uncrowded ambience, but even if the room had been packed, the acoustics would have accommodated comfortable conversation. My dover sole was the best I had had in ages. We were additionally honored by having it served by the owner himself. Our waitress was attentive without hovering and the busboys did not grab at our plates the minute we paused for a break. This place is comfortable, gorgeous and the food is superb!
