Bice Ristorante

18683 Collins Ave
(Le Meridien Sunny Isles Beach)
Sunny Isles Beach, FL 33160
305-503-6011
Website
The dining room is a triangular slice of space toward the back of the lobby of the chic resort-hotel Le Meridien Sunny Isles Beach. Dramatic floor-to-very-very-high-ceiling windows open two of the walls to vivacious vistas of surf and sky, while earth tones inform the indoors in an elegant landscape of wheat-colored walls, ecru table linens, and contrasting light and dark wood floors. Matteo Migliorini and Marcello Rivetti, veteran Bice chefs, do a capable job of cooking up fresh, well-executed Italian cuisine, but dinner plates here are devoid of inspiring import specialties or the sort of lush, seasonal produce capable of quickening one’s pulse; this Bice lacks ambition to be anything more than the latest realization of a tried-and-true blueprint for success. Still, within this framework, the cuisine is rather likeable. Fried calamari, tuna tartare, caesar salad -- all are solid renditions, as are entrées such as veal scaloppine with wild mushrooms, and monkfish and white asparagus in a well-seasoned tomato-seafood broth. Bice’s cuisine may go down easy, but the prices can be difficult to swallow: Starters average about $15; nonpasta entrees run in the $30 range. Add water, dessert, tax, and tip, and you’re looking at $75 per person -- without wine.
