    We had two wonderful dinners at Bice. We love the quality of the food and that they had great options for kids and for our gluten allergies. Tony was our server both nights. He was fantastic! He is knowledgeable and provided us with excellent service. We love talking with him and sharing stories. Thank you Tony for taking great care of our family!

    Everything from cocktails through dessert was outstanding! Freshly made pastas and risotto were excellent in their flavor. Best food we've had in all of our stays at Universal Orlando.

    Worse experience ever and significantly a disappointment compared to 5 years ago Food was average at best yet pricey Waiter left much to be desired and figured he was getting his tip added anyway since we had a party of 6 No effort at all on his part to be nice We brought superb wine but told not allowed to open ( restaurant policy) no corkage fee allowed Orlando has fine restaurants so don’t waste your time or money coming here No wonder the place was empty I live in Orlando and never coming back to this restaurant
