On my never-ending search for decent Italian food in San Diego, I finally made it into BiCE (no, that's not a cap-locks mishap...that's how they spell it). To be honest, my hopes weren't that high. I mean, it is a chain, and although people I talked to said to give it a shot...I hadn't heard an enthusiastic recommendation yet.

First of all, let me say that the service here was the best I've had ever for a first-time visit to a restaurant. The staff was super friendly, knowledgeable, and had the timing down to a tee. To start out, I went with the prosciutto and burrata appetizer. It was simply amazing. The cheese was incredibly fresh, as was the meat. It was my first time trying burrata (which is a fresh mozzarella that is a bit soft in the center).

Next up, based on a staff recommendation, I went with the meat tortellini served in an aged cheese sauce with peas and prosciutto (and yes, that is a lot of prosciutto for one meal, but it's sooo good. Mind your own business). Another great dish, although the sauce was so flavorful, the meat was a bit overpowered.

For dessert, I got a trio of chocolate morsles. To be honest, I wasn't too impressed with this one. It was just too rich and didn't work. Oh well, you can't win em all...

All in all, I loved BiCE, and could certainly see myself becoming a regular there. The service and food are amazing and the prices are very reasonable. I had even left my credit-card there and when I went back the next day, the staff had remembered me before I even asked. I can't wait to get back and try their cheese bar.
