Can't say enough good things about this gem of a restaurant. The food and staff are absolutely terrific. The owner, Marcello, makes everyone feel welcomed, and you are never rushed. Wonderful experience time & again. Highly recommend! read more

I ordered a lobster roll thinking that I might get something close to a lobster roll. When my dinner arrived, I had lobster on a hot dog roll mixed with clementines and other things. My plate was loaded with cheap store bought french fries and nothing else. The lobster roll had a few pieces of lobster and was very overpriced. read more

Short and bitter.. first time there and last time too. Don't know what was worse, the food or service. Everything we ordered was tasteless!! Our server for the most part was nowhere to be found, He had better things to do than tend to the diners in the tent. Waste of money . Run Forest run!!! read more

The food is okay; sometimes a little better than just ok but never really good. It's too tight with the tables packed in and if you get stuck at a table in the middle of the dining area you will actually take a physical beating mostly from the staff constantly crashing into your chair as they make no apparent attempt to get around you without bashing into your chair. Miserable experience!!!! read more

A hidden gem! Everything was amazing!! From the food to the service. Ray is an awesome waiter. Very knowledgeable ,he knows the entire menu inside and out Cozy atmosphere We will be back!!! read more

I have always found the food and service wonderful at BICI. I have gone a number of times and plan to go back. My family had a party for me there and they couldn't have been nicer. It was a wonderful experience. read more

I don't even know where to start! I love Bici so much! We hosted my daughters communion luncheon here and I'm so happy we did. Marcelo, the owner, was SUCH A PLEASURE to work with. He genuinely cares so much about his customers and their events.. goes above and beyond. We wound up having the restaurant to ourselves on a weekend afternoon. Personalized menu, he set up our dessert table, flowers, food & service was incredible, etc. Just didn't miss a beat.. Very happy locals! Thank you! read more

Amazing!! My husband and I went to Bici last night for the first time, and it was literally the best experience I've had dining out since Covid. All precautions are being taken, and we sat outside, where the heaters and the tent really made the difference. It's also BYOB, which is great. The food though!! I had literally the best salmon I've had in years, and we shared the Malfatti, among other delicious things. You MUST get this dish. It's a ricotta dumpling and melts in your mouth. Our server Julian recommended it and I'm so glad he did. The food overall was just incredible..and the service! So nice. Julian is so personable, and the owner seemed super sweet when he came to greet each table. Ask for Julian when you go. He's the absolute best. read more

Best food ambience and service! Our family's go to restaurant for years! Marcello and staff treat customers impeccably food is outstanding!! Highly recommend! Outside dining is my favorite read more

Wonderful experiences at Bici Ramsey- highly recommend!!! Service, food, decor - top notch!

This is the place where it all comes together. Awesome food and enthusiastic wait staff. In a nice space. Very creative chef.

Came here for the first time for my anniversary and it was really from start to finish an amazing meal. Firstly they made a nice outdoor tent area with space heaters so everyone was spaced out and had fresh air and stayed warm. The meatballs, the beet salad, osso boco, gnocchi were all superb and they brought out a nice chocolate cake for our anniversary for a surprise. The staff was attentive and always asking how things were and if we needed refills. I will definitely be back read more

Just...not good. Over priced and average food at best. Head over to Marcelos in Suffern for a better meal, service, and atmosphere.

Had our son's rehearsal dinner here and couldn't ask for a better way to kick off a wonderful weekend!! Marcelo and his staff went above/beyond to make this a special night for our family and guests! Food was spectacular, service unbelievable and the ambience very intimate as we had the entire restaurant to ourselves. Won't be disappointed whether you're there for dinner or event. read more

The staff was very nice. We had different requests for the food items and they agreed and also provided good suggestions. The outdoor seating area was cold but the mobile heaters helped and they did not hesitate to bring closer. The food was good. read more

Wonderful dinner! I went there with my 93 year old father and boyfriend for my birthday. Everything was excellent. We ate outside. We shared the fried calamari and the Malfatti appetizers. Both were delicious. I had short ribs, dad had pasta with seafood and my BF had pork chop. Everyone loved their dinner. The owner, Marcelo, stopped by our table to make sure everyone was doing well. We really enjoyed our time at Bici. read more

Excellent food, excellent service and amazing ambiance. The owner is a very welcoming individual. Staff is pleasant and accommodating. I have been here several times and always recommend this place to everyone. I have zero complaints. Only non-business related issue is the people whining about the lighting, prices or lack of space in tables. I got an answer for you, this isn't your mommy's house, if you don't like it don't go. Small businesses need support more than ever, so if you can't help someone don't drag them down. Stay home! read more

My new favorite go to place. My boyfriend and I have been here a few times in the last two months and each time we are blown away. The food is always absolutely delicious. The staff is amazing, particularly Ray who has been our waiter each time we have been and the owner Marcelo. Marcelo truly cares about his customers dining experience as every time we have been he makes his rounds to each table ensuring everything is going well. BYOB which is always a major plus. Cannot wait to be back. read more

Went here with my mom and we ordered the calamari and quinoa salad to start, both were delicious! Then we ordered the pan fried skate, which was also amazing, just enough flavor without feeling too heavy. The owner came over many times to check on us and he was so lovely. Overall 10/10 experience. read more

Love this restaurant. The owner Marcela is so nice and welcoming. He always comes over to say hi. He always remembers I'm gluten free. The food is amazing! read more

This is the most amazing restaurant ever!! Marcelo and his staff have gone over and beyond with dinners with friends, family and hosting my parties with a dj amazing!! The food is top notch I love when you come in fall and have a steak with an egg ravioli on top it's the most tender steak ever! My favorite appetizer is the malfatti literally melts in your mouth! My favorite summer dish are the sea scallops in risotto it's literally the best flavor!! read more

We are new to the area and Bici has the best food we've ever had- their meatballs are amazing. Seasonal food is perfect and their short ribs are my husbands favorite! Recommend going if you're looking for a really delicious meal!! Also, their desserts are phenomenal! Amazing service too- you won't find a similar experience! read more

Bici Restaurant - Lobster roll - Italian Near Me - Ramsey, New Jersey

Wife & I both ordered salmon which was overcooked & under seasoned. Mashed potatoes were fine but Brussels sprouts were hard with little flavor. Some kind of sauce would have been helpful read more

Really good. I went with the Grilled Chop flanked by the Pear, Spinach and Mashed - that made it! The wife went with the Short Ribs that were tender and tasty. Appy... go for the Cauliflower and the dessert Gelato / Fig in a Pastry Tart. My guess is there's another visit in the near future. read more

Had a nice family dinner here on a Saturday night in December. They restaurant had a great ambiance and had nice Christmas decorations for a holiday feel. Can't really argue with a BYOB. For starter, I ordered a nice special which consisted of sausage and broccoli rabe in a nice broth. It was super tasty, and worked well together. For my entree, I ordered the striped bass over whipped kabocha squash, kale and topped with a red pepper coulis. This was one of the better fish dishes I've had in awhile, and I normally don't order fish. The food was great and the service was even better. Highly recommend this restaurant for group dinners or even a date for two. read more

Went to Bici last night and had an amazing dinner. Marcello and his staff go above and beyond to give 5 star service. The dining room is intimate and cozy. And the food was great! Great menu, great service. Will need to make Bici a regular stop for us. read more

4.5...great food and service , at reasonable prices. Not a traditional "Red Sauce" spot. FANCY Italian food. Limited menu but good. BYO is a plus. read more

Overall *** I found Bici to have potential but a little pricey for the lack of detailed execution in most areas. We dined here for our anniversary and while the manager and owner are terrific everything else was a bit off for us. We may return at some point but I found Bici slightly overrated. Setting *** Located on the main drag in Ramsey, the entrance is on the side and does have a parking lot just behind it. Inside it is nice enough, grey walls and local art, intimate with 20 or so tables. The guests ranged from older locals to 30 something's out on the town. The volume level rises quickly which allowed me to overhear two tables say it was their first time here. There is a very cool looking banquet for 6-8 that looks like the preferred table. Service *** We arrived at 8:00 for our 8:15 reservation and were sat right away. The manager, Timothy, got us started by opening our wine and telling us about the menu, we then sat for 10 minutes before we got fed up and flagged down our waiter. I don't know his name but he was barely competent and added nothing positive to our experience. Food *** The quality is high and generally prepared well but I found the seasoning to be barely adequate. The olive oil on the table is awful, it is supposed to be a flavored oil but it had the color, consistency and taste of vegetable oil. I found the Eggplant Caponata served with the bread lacking in the richness typically associated with that side. Our appetizers were both pretty good, Meatballs and the Cauliflower which is similar to mashed potatoes and served like a creme brûlée with a tasty Frisée salad on top. My wife ordered the Salmon and she enjoyed it although it was slightly over cooked. When it was delivered we were warned that the Salmon plate was very hot so I was surprised when my Sirloin was put down that the plate was ice cold. Unfortunately this led to everything on my plate being cold. I ordered the steak Medium hoping for Medium Rare, not a good move here as it was cooked to a perfect Medium. The steak while good, matched everything on my plate by tasting good but nothing wowed me. There was a definite lack of seasoning here. Value ** Three small meatballs $15, Cauliflower $15, Salmon $31 and $38 for the steak didn't add up to feeling worth it. read more

Absolutely wonderful! Attentive, but not intrusive service. Extremely delightful, hardworking staff. The food was delicious. My wife was torn between two dishes, the one she chose she wasn't crazy about. All we had to do was mention to the owner it wasn't what she had expected, and without hesitation he brought out the other dish she was considering. It turned out to be absolutely delicious, making the meal fantastic. He even offered to keep my plate warm so we could eat together when her new plate was ready. First class service and delicious food! We will be back! read more

Bici is my go to when I want a great meal. Reasonably priced for the quality in my opinion. BYOB. Owner is the best. Friendly and makes sure to visit every table and make you feel right at home. read more

Great staff. Polite, attentive. Imaginative menu. Food well prepared. Nice dessert selection. Moderate pricing.

A girlfriend suggested dinner here and I am so glad that she did! Lovely atmosphere...attentive staff, and an owner who personally visits the table to make sure that all is satisfactory! I had the short ribs and I cannot stress enough how delicious they were - and served over mashed sweet potatoes, which was a wonderful play! Marcelo - the owner - was nice enough to share the recipe with me, and cannot wait to try it in my own kitchen! Will definitely be back to this wonderful restaurant! read more

Excellent customer Service. Wonderful atmosphere. Great food! Definitely will be coming back. This is Italian fine dining cuisine. The entrees were well balanced. Bread is brought in fresh from a local bakery. BYOB! read more

Excellent resto. We dined here at the last minute last night, on a rainy Monday night. From the reception to the wait staff the service was attentive and friendly. The ambience is lovely. The food was exceptional. I ordered the poached pear and greens salad. It had a light lively vinaigrette that was delicious. (But there were lots of stems in the salad. ) the bread was warm and good. The boyfriend ordered the meatball app and was pleased. For entrees, I got the Langosta fettuccine. It was creamy and delicious with a ton of sweet lobster. The sauce was amazing. Very light yet flavorful. Lots of it to go with that bread, too. Boyfriend ordered the gnocchi special. It was good but my entree was the star. We were too full for dessert. Our waiter was excellent. I will be back and I highly recommend. BYOB. read more

Bici is a great addition to the Ramsey dining scene. The cooking is creative and delicious, and the service has always been great. Honestly, what's prompting me to write this review is the lunch special - specifically, the $22 prix fixe pasta deal. It's amazing!!! Today was the 3rd time my wife and I took advantage of this. You get three incredibly delicious pastas/risottos (they change almost every day) + a choice of salad. This is not just some typical suburban Italian joint. The level of cooking is on par with many of the finest Italian restaurants in Brooklyn or Manhattan. Do yourself a favor and go. It's also BYOB. read more

This is the absolute best restaurant! Marcelo came to our table and talked to us. He was so authentic and passionate about his restaurant and food! We weren't rushed. You can't go wrong here. Simply perfect! 5 stars. read more

Tonight we went for dinner at Bici Restaurant in Ramsey. The food was honestly amazing. Flavors that were outside the box, but married perfectly together. If you haven't been there you must try it, you will not be disappointed. We will be back! read more

My boyfriend and I took my parents here and we had a great experience! The service is on point and they give you a fine dining experience. The food is amazing...
