A World of Hospitality Ahead.

A Hundred Years Behind Us

For a hundred years, the Ruggeri family has set the table.

The food changes with the seasons. The welcome never does.

The Woman who
defined a legacy

Beatrice Ruggeri, known simply as Bice, learned the language of hospitality early. In her family's Tuscan home, she cooked daily for her nine siblings, guided by intuition, care, and an understanding that meals are meant to bring people together.

When she opened Bice Ristorante in 1926, she did so without ambition for expansion or recognition. What she established instead was something more enduring: a way of welcoming guests rooted in warmth, attentiveness, and authenticity. Through her cooking and her presence, Bice shaped values that continue to define Bice Ristorante today

100 YEARS AT
THE TABLE

For 100 years, Bice Ristorante has welcomed guests from every walk of life, heads of state and first-time diners, private celebrations and everyday rituals. What has always distinguished Bice is not who arrives, but how they are received.

Dining here is unhurried. Conversations linger. Over time, first visits become habits, and habits become traditions. Across generations, Bice remains a place where milestones are marked quietly and Italian hospitality is expressed with confidence and grace, one table at a time.

An Italian tradition, refined over generations

Rooted in its founding principles, Bice today celebrates the richness of Italian cuisine in its entirety. Each menu remains guided by tradition, exceptional ingredients, and thoughtfully curated chef specials that reflect both heritage and inspiration.

Simplicity prevails, and excellence is practised quietly, allowing authentic Italian flavours to speak for themselves.

Today, that tradition lives on in the United States, where BiCE Ristorante is proudly represented in Palm Beach, Naples, and Orlando, three destinations united by an appreciation for refinement, consistency, and thoughtful hospitality. Each location reflects the spirit of its city while remaining unmistakably Bice, each one carrying the same warmth and care that has defined Bice for a century.

A FAMILY LEGACY

Today, the Ruggeri family continues to guide Bice with intention, preserving its founding values while shaping its future across the United States. Now led by the fourth generation, Bice carries forward a legacy built on family, tradition, and an unwavering commitment to excellence.
