Bice Grill

Next door to Bice Ristorante, itself a renowned upscale Italian restaurant, Bice Grill serves up home-style specialites in the popular high-end cafeteria format. The narrow room has enough tables to accommodate the lunch rush, but it's a tight squeeze; many people take their food to go. After the rush, it's possible to relax and enjoy the bright, warm room with its terra cotta-toned paint and festive poster art. The long counter is crammed with kitchen-fresh specialties, many familiar to those who frequent Bice. Pizzas, pastas and salads are always popular, but more adventurous diners might go for the paella.

"Great little place, always nearly..."
By Tim Macaskill from C H I C A G O, IL, March 1, 2005
Great little place, always nearly empty so the service is very swift. Food is good, prices are reasonable. Been here three times.
