Fodor's Expert Review Bice Ristorante Orlando

"Bice" (pronounced beach-ay) is an Italian nickname for Beatrice, as in Beatrice Ruggeri, who founded the original Milan location of this upscale Italian chain in 1926. At the Orlando branch, starched linens, frescoed ceilings, marble floors, and bay-view picture windows set the stage for sophisticated (and pricey) dishes such as pan-seared wild halibut with Swiss chard or veal scallopini with lemon-caper sauce. Although prices start at around $30 for pasta dishes and peak at $70 for a rib eye steak, pastas and salads are available in half portions upon request. The Amaretto cheesecake is a splendid dessert.
