    Food was excellent! The service was ridiculously bad. Both owners stood around (one was on his phone). I had to ask for water, menus, and then the bill. So many staff members walking around seemingly doing nothing. No one seemed to care that we were unhappy. Beautiful restaurant and great food but I will never go back because of the service.

    From the moment I walked in, I knew I was in for something special. The ambiance struck the perfect balance between cozy and elegant, with warm lighting and a subtle charm that instantly transported me back to Italy. The food was exceptional. Every bite of the freshly made pasta was a reminder of authentic Italian craftsmanship. The sauce was light and delicate, enhancing the flavor of the dish without overpowering it, true to traditional Italian cuisine. Quality ingredients and attention to detail are a top priority here. This was more than just a meal; it was a culinary experience. I’ll definitely be returning and recommending this gem to anyone looking for a genuine taste of Italy. Bravo!

    Food and environment are very good. I found the service to be a little hands off. We waited a while to even get water, dishes sat between courses. Big delay to order coffee while we watched service team clean the espresso machine and do the closing down of the restaurant. They were nice and had positive attitudes but seemed not as focused on continuity of service. Likely a training issue. Would recommend this lovely resto.

    this was my fourth visit to Occhiolino and it never fails to disappoint. Drinks were excellent (Hugo is my fave cocktail). Pastas were tasty and light, good enough to share 3 of them between two of us. Starters are always innovative, but warning that the portion of these are small. Our server Sarah is ALWAYS on point with her recommendations and is super friendly. We choose to sit at the chef's counter to also be able chat with RJ who gives us the biggest and warmest welcome every time!
