They specialize in pasta dishes. Pastas are all made in the restaurant and we can purchase them as well. The food was excellent. Service was excellent too. Overall a very nice place and the price is reasonable. Highly recommend.

First time visit. A solid, appetizing, reasonably priced restaurant with excellent food. I am tired of pretentious, overly priced, minuscule, pretty food sculptures and eating in the next best slice of bread establishment. I just want above average, well-prepared, tasty food, and Occhiolino has it... fresh pasta, good Italian wine selections, good company and attentive waiters... simple and tasty Italian food for the palate. If that appeals to your food sensibility, I don't think you will be disappointed. My bench mark for restaurants is this... would I return for a second meal? Absolutely, I will! Keith

As you walk into the warm main restaurant you are greeted and the top notch service does not stop there. The menu is small, but choice to meet everyone's tastes. Everything was delicious, especially the perfectly cooked pasta.

Service and staff were terrific, as was the food. Unfortunately, I did not know too ask for a booth when I made the reservation and we were seated in the middle of a very busy area. Next time i will be sure to request a booth.

We had a great experience at Occhiolino-the food and service were excellent. We went on a Sunday evening so it was probably quieter than it typically is which we enjoyed.
