"Cicada sports some serious 1920s Art Deco style in Downtown LA. Located in the Oviatt building, an opulent dining room with old-growth oak columns and gold leaf ceilings makes for quite an evening of vintage elegance. The kind of place to hold a serious dance party late into the night. On the food side, expect Italian-leaning classics like Caprese salad, spaghetti with lobster in a light tomato sauce, osso bucco, and risotto (saffron risotto or more traditional white wine-spiked risotto with jumbo lump crab)." - Nicole Adlman
