BiCE Ristorante

Where ladies who lunch dine. Euro import attracts power crowd with high-end Northern Italian eats. House signatures like homemade pasta (tagliolini with lobster and wild mushrooms) and osso bucco (with porcini mushroom truffle sauce, of course). Smooth interior trimmed with polished wood, showy flower displays. Sidewalk tables, front bar, big back area with cathedral ceilings. And like most Italian spots of its ilk, service is two-tiered: obsequies reserved for the regulars, tourists and one-timers subsist on the crumbs.
