   It was an amazing experience. The apps (beet salad, warm olives, burrata and focaccia) were perfect. We have 4 pastas which were all amazing but the best was the soft serve ice cream for dessert. And what made this experience even better was our server - Sarah. She was amazing, helpful and very knowledgeable about the wines. I can’t wait to go back.

   Started with the focasia, finnochio, beet salad and zucca. The bread is absolutely delicious used it to mop up the Anchovy compound butter that goes into of the fennel, adds a huge amount of umami to the dish, clever to use a higher end Spanish anchovy which adds tons of elegance, notes of basil. Superb dish. Zucca was so crispy yet tender on the inside, they clearly do a great job with the brine. Beet salad added some nice acidity and helped round out all the different flavors. For mains we had the carbonara, it's nice to see a truly authentic version. Truly nailed the Roman staple. Moved onto the Di Seppia, which is honestly top three pastas ive ever had in my life. Squid ink pasta cut to make it look like calamari. Beautiful clams, cuddle fish, Chili's.retossed it at the table as it came set on a bed of parsley and watercress sauce, garlic. Absolutely impeccable dish. Highly highly recommend Occhiolino.

   My waitress was short with her words and seemed like she was agitated with my friend and I for whatever reason.. Also did not appreciate her simply placing the bill on my table without a word and not once checking in to see how our evening was going. I think I overtipped and I regret it. Food was good but the service was terrible I don’t understand

   Fabulous Italian restaurant- all 3 starters and 2 entrees were of significant amounts. The beet salad was so fresh - loved the texture. The pastas were made perfectly- you should bottle and patent the sauces. Thank you for a beautiful dinner and attention to details to help celebrate a birthday. Hoping rezy becomes a neighborhood staple! This restaurant has great vibes, modern and SLAPS!

   Beautiful simple details. Tasty Lambrusco and housemade pasta and friendly service, what else does one need? ;) I'm excited for the patio space out front in the summer as mentioned by staff. Thanks again everyone

   Beautiful spot. Great service. Our waiter recognized us from Rosedale Diner! The food was great - super solid and I liked the combo of traditional but also funky dishes. Don’t love a tight two person table in the middle but it didn’t take away.

   Food was just ok. I liked the design of the building but upstairs was a bit cafeteria style and sooo loud. My throat was hurting the next day from yelling at the person I was having dinner with. Not an enjoyable experience. Wish the food made up for it but it didn’t.

    We chose to be seated at the bar when I made the reservation. I did not realize how separate that was from the rest of the space. I feel like that took away from the experience. The food and service were great - I will try it again but this time ask to be seated at the kitchen bar in the dining room!
