Bice Ristorante (full-service) at Loews Portofino Bay Hotel

What is Bice Ristorante?

It was 1926 when Milanese resident Beatrice “Bice” Ruggeri first transformed her flavorful, Italian home-cooking into a successful network of restaurants. Bice established locations across the globe before landing at Universal Orlando Resort’s own globe – specifically, at Portofino Bay Hotel. Here, you’ll find white tablecloths, homemade pasta, an extensive Italian wine list, and the perfect atmosphere for a romantic meal.

Where is Bice Ristorante located?

At Loews Portofino Bay Hotel, one of Universal Orlando Resort’s hotels.

Bice Ristorante – hours and reservations

Bice Ristorante is open Monday through Sunday from 5:00 pm – 9:00 pm.

Bice Ristorante – OI tips

Bice is a high-end dining experience (at least, compared to other theme-park eateries), so resort or business-casual attire is recommended. On a clear evening, ask to sit outside on the patio for a beautiful view of the Harbor Piazza.
