Cuisine(s): - Regional Cuisines -, European Cuisine, Italian . Cost: $$$$ . Restaurant type: Upscale CasualSummary: Bice is serving up classic Italian dishes that unfortunately lack much originality or creativity. The indoor dining room is a bit too austere for my liking, I prefer dining on the terraza, overlooking the Puerto Madero boardwalk.
