We thoroughly enjoyed our experience at Occhiolino. It has a cozy ambiance. We shared a number of dishes that were all excellent .... the burrata with focaccia and their beet salad was a nice start to our evening. We followed that up with two pasta dishes and had to finish with the soft serve ice cream topped with olive oil and sea salt .. delicious! Our serve Rob was particularly helpful in suggesting some house favourites. A great experience overall and would highly recommend!

The food was top notch for Greek food, everything tasted so good, food was a bit pricey for what you get in quantity but that is expected. The $38 Greek wine was amazing. It is a tight space so you don’t have a lot of room and it is always packed which is expected beauties of how good the food was. Great experience and great food so what else can you ask for.
