Cicero's, Ruston, LA - CLOSED
THIS RESTAURANT HAS CLOSED.
RESTAURANT: Cicero's
LOCATION: 214 North Tenton, Ruston, LA 71270
ONE OF THE DATES WE VISITED THE RESTAURANT: 11/29/2007
PRICE RANGE: Moderate
FAVORITE FOOD: The Potato Soup. The Chocolate Mints at the End of the Meal
OTHER GREAT FOODS: The Iced Tea
FOOD WE LIKED LEAST: Pasta Primavera
MOST OUTSTANDING FEATURE: Very Attentive Server
APPEARANCE: Well Decorated, Clean
SERVER: Jennie
SERVICE: Although the waitress was outstanding, we observed people waiting for extended periods of time for the hostess to come to the front when they entered the restaurant. She was stationed in the back and seemed not to have a method of viewing them from there. The people at the table next to us waited an inordinately long time for their pizza, which looked delicious when it finally arrived.
UNIQUE FEATURES: N/A
COMMENTS: Since our friends have complimented Cicero's, we'll be back. Perhaps we need to give it another try.
We began our meal with toasted bread and a dip of oil. The oil was not the tastiest olive oil we have ever had, the vinegar in the dip was biting, and the herbs were not very flavorful. The bread, however, was delicious.
Then we had fried calamari, which was slightly overcooked.
The salad dressing had an unpleasant flavor with a strong vinegar taste. We like flavorful vinegar coupled with garlic or other seasoning, but this salad had a bit too much bite. The black olives were tasty.
The potato soup was good. It had prosciutto flakes in it.
One of us had Fettuccine Alfredo, which was a disappointment. The noodles were a little thick, and the sauce not creamy enough. Also there was not enough sauce for the noodles.
The Pasta Primavera was loaded with overly cooked marinara sauce. The vegetables were, as one person in our party commented, "overly sweated" because they were cooked to a soft stage. We were expecting more vegetables and less sauce. The noodles were good.
