   Fantastic place, hands down. We come here everytime we visit Orlando and this is an absolute treasure with their menu, the friendly wait staff and of course the beautiful Porto Fino hotel. The Christmas dinner was awesome, the lamb chops, rigatoni bolognese and the salmon were cooked perfectly and served hot. The burrata and the tuna tartare were excellent. We enjoyed every bit of it, thank you.

   Our family was really looking forward to dinner at BiCE Orlando, especially after reading reviews of other's experiences, but sadly we were left disappointed. Although my daughter fully enjoyed her steak dinner, the pasta dishes were meh, which when dining in a an authentic Italian restaurant, is unexpected and disheartening. Our waiter was unfriendly, borderline rude at times, and inattentive. If looking to enjoy a great Italian meal with a FABULOUS wait staff, I'd walk a few doors down and dine at Mama Della's.

   The staff is amazing. The managers are out of this world and work very hard to make guests happy. Hostess are lovely. Food is very good. The ravioli with short ribs is superb. Their chocolate dessert is a wow!!

   Hands down my family’s new FAVORITE dinner spot when we visit Universal. We are from Boston and coincidentally our waiter was also originally from Boston. Not only did he create a fantastic dining experience, but the food was hands down the best we have had in our 20+ years vacationing in Universal. We loved it so much we ended up cancelling our dinner reservation for the next day and booked at Bice again. We felt so bad because we were running late and when we called the staff to let them know they told us not to rush and we ended up being the last people there since we got there so late, and not a single staff member rushed us or seemed like they were trying to close up (which i’m sure they were and i felt bad because i’m in the industry myself). All in all if you haven’t tried this place I HIGHLY encourage it. They have lifelong customers with my family.

   Great italian cuisine with incredible hospitality! We came here to celebrate our anniversary and it did not disappoint. Our server Francesco was excellent and helpful - I love to course out my meal and he guided us through the menu and our wine selections to pair with the food. At the end they dropped a beautiful anniversary dessert with compliments. I would love to return!

   The service and food quality were outstanding. The truffle carpaccio should be a regular item vs. seasonal because it was so good. Great value for the money.

    My husband and I were celebrating our 26th anniversary, and so we were looking for a new place for dinner that was different, had ambience and great food. Unfortunately, the location of this restaurant was complicated and very difficult to find, we simply had to walk “too” far to get to it once we arrived. A woman in heels walking over pavers do not go together, big smiles. Anyway, the food. The food is “extremely overpriced” for what we received! My husband’s meal, the Cappellaccio “Little Hat” had zero to no braised Beef Short Rib nor Spinach in it,it truly was disappointing. As for my dish, the “Pappardelle al Telphono” was also NOT worth the money. I was talked into adding shrimp, which was “FARM” raised and spongy at an additional $16 👎🏽, so for a whooping $48 dollars for this plate, I could have gotten my rack of lamb instead!!! Not worth it. Unfortunately will not go back here, but our waiters were wonderful.
