Bice Ristorante

I got the impression that this restaurant was more of a place to be seen than a place for truly high-quality cuisine. The tasting dishes were not all equal, some very, very good, like the saffron risotto, others unremarkable, like the pappardelle. Overall, everything was too salty. Service was a little slow but acceptable, the acoustics were dreadful and the restaurant was overheated.

A charming restaurant with a welcoming atmosphere and attentive staff. The service was excellent, with English menus readily available and thoughtful recommendations provided upon request. Unfortunately, the temperature inside the restaurant was quite warm upon arrival and continued to rise throughout the evening, making it increasingly uncomfortable for our entire party. We did inquire about adjusting the air or using a fan, but this was not accommodated. As a result, we chose to forgo dessert and a nightcap and concluded our evening earlier than planned due to the heat.

First off, the really good part: the food was incredible. I had the ossobuco with the saffron risotto and it was incredible. The veal melted into my mouth, the marrow was so buttery and flavorful, the risotto was the perfect companion. My waiter was Nicolò and he was extremely polite and helpful and did not make me feel bad for deciding I couldn't possibly fit a dessert after having asked for the dessert menu. The ambience is very traditional, it feels like stepping back in time a few decades. Gorgeous glasses adorning the walls, rich woodwork. It does get loud at times but it is still enjoyable. Now for why I had to take off a star. A hostess is the first impression a restaurant makes on the guest and this hostess gives off a bad one. She was not wearing a name tag, but it was today March 8 at lunch. I had made a reservation online, meaning my name was spelled out in written form. I arrived and after the polite salutations, in Italian, I said my name and that I had a reservation for 1. She repeated back my full name incorrectly, (Mariella Argona) which is fine and normal with an unusual name. I corrected just the surname (Arbona con b non g). She looked at her list and came back with "could it be Maria Rodriguez?". No, no it could not be since that would be a whole different human. She finally found me. Never apologized or even smiled at her confusion and lack of politeness and tact. People with Spanish last names aren't interchangeable. If she has hearing issues perhaps she could ask guests to write down their names. But really it was the attitude that was unacceptable. Hopefully she'll get better, but from what I heard waiting for my coat she is rude to people on the telephone as well. Avoid the hostess, but the food is delicious and deserving of its fame.

The atmosphere was wonderful! The food was great overall - though the Tuscan Summer Panzanella could've been better

What an amazing experience and the food is superb. We arrived late due to traffic - no star for Milan’s driving condition…. - the restaurant kindly kept the table for us and informed us that there are others booked the table from 9pm. All is clear and no misunderstanding - really appreciate the transparency. Staff is kind, attentive. Devil lives in the detail: the gentleman served us is using a silver object to point at the menu when he was trying to suggest anything. So his figure is not in your face. This really is a nice touch.
