With a convenient location off 5th Avenue in Midtown, Bice (pronounced bee-chee) is easily accessible from Museum Row, Rockefeller Center, and theaters. Subtle lighting, massive urns of fresh flowers, and geometric-shaped ceiling beams add to the warm Mediterranean ambience. An extensive, classic Italian menu is offered, including signature dishes such as Tagliolini pasta with lobster, osso buco, and veal and spinach ravioli—the pasta here is all homemade. A collection of rare dinner plates created by famed designer Gianni Versace is on display, and the plates are available to guests for purchase.
