    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.
