I can honestly say that I have never had a negative experience. The food is remarkable- fresh and flavorful as it should be. I would like to copy this concept and bring it to Orange County California. It would be an instant success! Bottom line, I love the people and all the elements of this restaurant.

With a long menu list of creative beverages, there is plenty to sample. The outdoor seating is very comfortable. The entire area is covered by trees, providing a shady area to enjoy your meal and beverage. The beer drinkers felt the beers were a little 'watered down' (as I didn't drink the beer, I can't confirm this, just passing along the word of two guests sitting nearby) but we ladies enjoyed our cocktails.

We tried their Salmon Gravlax, Tartar from beef, and burger everything was very delicious from local ingredients. Waitress told us chef himself checks all the ingredients and chooses only the best . The view was amazing and relaxing. We came in September and weather very tricky. It was always raining most in the evenings and we glad we stayed at the hotel and didn't go out. The cocktail menu is great and don't be shy to ask for help because staff perfectly speaks in English.

As the name suggests the theme is bicycle, it makes it cute and original. It stays a typical italian bar that you'd hardly find in the US, but it has something more than just being typical.

Ottimo lavoro ragazzi, abbiamo passato una bella serata da Bicyclette, ottimi cocktail, personale gentilissimo. Ci ritornerò sicuramente.

The cocktails are inventive, elevated, and layered with thought, yet the atmosphere is relaxed and elevated while also unpretentious. Andrea, the owner, is part mad scientist (he has his chemistry set in the front window) and part storyteller. He crafts flavor profiles with house-made natural extracts that feel both novel and perfectly balanced. We had a blast geeking out with him about spirits while Satish and the rest of the team kept the night lively with warm hospitality and a bit of history woven into every pour. The naturally flavored home made welcome apertif and little bites were a charming touch, but the real highlight was realizing this wasn't just a drink, it was a total experience. Tonight's serendipitous nightcap was magical and we'll be back... again and again.

I'm writing this review to talk about the small plate of treats they offered us while we sat at the bar: * Tomato w/ ricotta cheese: As expected, good quality ricotta. The tomato was nice and light. Overall, what you see is what you taste. * Zucchini w/ dab of tomato sauce on top: Very light and simple. Not much flavor from the sauce but I think the zucchini is meant to lead here. * Shrimp w/ avocado cream: Absolutely my favorite. Soft and sweet! * Bufula mozzarella: PERFECT temperature. Mozzarella shell is not restrictive at all.

Served with a few munchies (no Milanese "aperitivo", you mind: this is a pre or post dinner place, or you can order from the full restaurant menu) and a glass of iced water (not American size and no refill was offered though). The prices are high even for Milan standards but 15 euros for a well crafted cocktail in a stylish location is well spent for me. Small and cozy, gentle music, not crowded. Will be back, oh yeah.
