Editorial Review for Bice Ristorante – by Citysearch Editors

In Short
Well-suited to the upscale Galleria area, it adds Houston to its list of chic international locales including Milan, Monte Carlo, Tokyo and Madrid. Occupying the coveted spot next to Saks, this two-story fine-dining spot features an elegant dining room with seating for 120 and patio for alfresco lunch. Patrons should expect a contemporary yet comfortable dining experience featuring a northern Italian menu. Upstairs, the members-only Private Lounge is a rarified treat for predinner cocktails.

The waitstaff here deserves high marks; they really attend to you and make your dining experience comfortable and enjoyable. Everything on the menu from the salads to the gnocci to the entrees are tasty. Wine menu is pretty good also. Location in a mall is suprising, but the restaurant is a great surprise! It's no wonder this place has so many global locations in international cities, the food is awesome!

My initial impression of the restaurant- it's just a restaurant in the mall. When I walked through the doors, I saw how upscale the place is, including the diners. The service was magnificent. The waitstaff did not miss a beat (I had more than two waiters serving my party of 2); they came at the right moment, refilled when necessary, etc. I even received a personal, handwritten thank you note from the head waiter for my table a week after my visit. I found the food pricey for Italian, but I would have guessed it would be from the moment I walked through the doors. My friend ordered mussels and pasta (something she said she could make at home), and I simply had tuna tartar (which was a bit too tart for my taste). They have an upstairs, which is apparently reserved for private parties. I would go again to try something else because maybe we didn't order the right things.

Pros: Service, clean restrooms, the crowd

Cons: Price
