The idea of café B by “BICE” comes from the observation that a select chain of “Contemporary Italian/American Bistro” does not exist, a place where customers can enjoy top modern Italian cuisine with some international extravaganza dictated by a fashionable Milanese atmosphere. There are tens of thousands of restaurants that serve Italian food in the world, and there are several successful Italian restaurant chains. Unfortunately, their positioning is strictly related to a certain regional/ classical Italian cuisine and their interior design says nothing of the “Contemporary Italian/Milanese” lifestyle.They simply have failed to capture the real essence of what Milan is and what it represents to the food and design industry. café B by “BICE” and world renowned Italian architect and interior designer Federico Delrosso have created a new concept; a restaurant that simply captures all the flavors and imagination of Italian contemporary cuisine plus that added little fusion of international dishes that “BICE” and master chef Massimo Pisati were able to bring back from all its restaurants world-wide.
