Palm Beach, Florida

Opening the early 90s, BiCE Palm Beach was one of the first restaurants to open in the USA, and host to many generations of both American and international clients. Situated on a wonderful patio on Worth Avenue, this location brings the creativity of “old-style” of Milanese cooking to one of the finest resort cities in America.

History of Bice Cucina

The network of Bice restaurants spanning the world today began 90 years ago in Milano, Italy by Beatrice Ruggeri – also known as Bice. She was the first child of a family of 10, and so had to help her parents raise her young siblings almost as they were her own. They lived on a farm where all had to work on the land and help with all chores, so she learned a lot of things that would help her create her future. For years she was encouraged to open her "cucina" to the public as she was known for her extraordinary hospitality and personal warmth, and in 1926, when her husband Gino asked her to move to America with him where he had previously been to make good money, she decided that she would rather try a city like Milano so that she could stay close to her family. They agreed to open a "trattoria" – loosely translated as a friendly gathering place with a farm-to-table approach. With Bice in the kitchen and her brothers and sisters serving in the dining room, il ristorante "Da Gino e Bice", or Bice as it would later be known, had a family feeling. The first customers said it was like being at the home of a friend, as Bice hoped they would.

As Milano emerged as a European fashion and banking center in the 1970's, Bice Milano was embraced by a new international clientele that included the continent's reigning designers. In a city where understated elegance is the norm, word spread of the restaurant's stylish interiors, the Tuscan origins of the food and of Bice Ruggeri's unwavering commitment to satisfying her clients. Bice was now a recognized Milanese restaurateur and her sons, Remo and Roberto, were taking steps to extend her vision throughout the world.

Restaurant Bice of Palm Beach is a very successful place to meet friends and enjoy wonderful culinary and friendly surroundings of the team of Bice.
