Bici Italian Street Food - South Bend

After a year talking about trying this restaurant, we finally made it. And it was really good. Small menu, good choices, assembly line style preparation (subway, chipotle, etc.). Once the first menu selection has been made, it could be loaded with many toppings. Moderately expensive and worth. We'll be back.

A bit pricey but if you add all the additional topping that are included it makes for a lot of food for the money. Staff was friendly and it was clean in the dining area. I had the lemon chicken salad, the chicken didn’t taste great but loaded with all the toppings I was stuffed. Co-workers had the pasta one with steak which he said was good. I tried a meatball and I did like the flavor so I’d try that on pasta. Overall what I had was very filling although it didn’t taste really fresh but it’ll fill you up.

I've only been here twice and have yet to fall in love with it. I've had both the small and large plates. The small plate is plenty filling for a lunch portion; however, the large is about double the size. If you want leftovers for $2 more, it's not a bad idea to get the large. There are premade menu options or ou can build your own pasta or salad. I'm not a fan of vinaigrettes and the steak is cooked/seasoned with it. The lemon chicken is pretty good. The flat bread is the best thing in their. Soft, moist, sweet. The pasta sauces seem to bland for a restaurant. That's my biggest gripe. If I had to eat here, I'd be fine. It's just not a place I see myself visiting often.

A small menu that's different then most. The food was decent but seemed to lack flavor. The plate was overfilled with spaghetti that was a little cold and chicken that was supposed to have a lemon flavor but a few pieces actually had any. The bread is good but needs to be served on the side because it turned soggy and gross because they put the spaghetti, chicken, and sauce over it. It's not a bad place to go and I recommend you go once to try something different, but the biggest problem is that the food needs to be warmer.

I had high hope for this place. I had a coworker eat this for lunch and it smelled and looked delicious. I got the spicy shrimp and was very disappointed in the dish. The flavors were all wrong. The dish got soggy very quickly and made it difficult to eat. I honestly ate some of the pasta and ate the shrimp then threw the rest away. I gave two stars just because the service and the guys working were awesome.
