Chef Marcus Mooney
Bice Restorante was founded in 1926 in Milan Italy by Beatrice Ruggeri...or as she was known to her friends and family, Bice, for whom the restaurant was named. In the 1970's...this Italian restaurant became the restaurant of choice for the international elite of fashion and design. In the summer of the year 2000, Morando Berrettini and Grazziano Ferrari brought this elegant style of Italian dining to Northbrook, Illinois.
The restaurant provides two dining experiences to its guests.
The grill is its more casual side...catering to families and those who are looking for a quick healthy bite to eat. The fine dining side represents the service and food style that one would fine in Milan, Italy.
Bice features nightly specials from all regions of Italy, however the changing menu always stays true to its roots of Milan.
Please come and enjoy the time honored tradition of Italian hospitality and authenic cruisine.
