In a neighborhood teeming with subdued, upscale façades, Bice cuts a cheerful figure with its bright canopies and streams of people walking to and fro. Perhaps it can't help but give off some of that upbeat Milan bustle—the restaurant, which now boasts over 30 locations world-wide, began in Italy's most fashionable city. Judging from the longevity of this location, the formula (solid upscale Northern Italian cuisine) works. Open for lunch and dinner, Bice stays thumping day and night with fashionable diners tucking into tender tagliolini with lobster, shiitake mushrooms, blistered tomatoes, chunky tomato sauce, and a float of basil chiffonade. Desserts range from simple to decadent crispy cantuccini laced with roasted almonds, or tiramisu della Bice.
