It's mediocre and the only saving grace is the fact their price point isn't outrageous.
Food - both pasta ordered had a sauce that was way too thin. This was their Saturday night shift and not a midweek shift. The knife work on garlic and onion isn't consistent.
Service - for a place that had over 20+ staff. Hospitality was great. Albeit the music was a bit too loud. The table beside us asked for it to be turned down and then requested to be moved to a different table.

Everything was great! The calamari, zucca, and rigatoni were my favourites. Definitely a spot worth trying!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing Dining Experience!
Had an incredible dinner here! The food was absolutely delicious, but what really made the experience outstanding was the service. Zane and Jett were fantastic—both were incredibly knowledgeable about the menu and offered great suggestions that did not disappoint. Their expert service and attention to detail made the evening feel extra special. From start to finish, everything was top-notch. Highly recommend and will definitely be back!

An absolute great experience. We dined on Valentin's day, as a family of 4, our server was outstanding (all the staff was great) Our 3 year was not having it towards the end of our meal, so I walked her out side (she was screaming, didn’t want to ruin everyone’s night). I was pleasantly surprised to have someone from the restaurant come out side and gift us pasta to take home. Not only was it pasta to take home but pasta for 4 with sauce and cheese. What a lovely surprise and attention to detail. We will be back. Thank you.

Visited this restaurant because I heard great things about the quality of the pasta. While the quality of the pasta itself is quite fantastic, I believe they fall short in terms of umami and depth for a lot of the dishes. Out of the dishes we got I wouldn’t really say anything was memorable and would make me want to come back, it’s kind of like just try it and that’s enough. A lot of the pasta dishes are also quite similar to one another. I heard someone in another review say the focaccia was not the greatest and I would agree with this after trying it myself. I don’t think bread is really their strong area. I would only return here if I was buying pasta and taking it home to make my own dish. Worth the try tho! Lastly the orange juice was really good so we got it twice, sadly the second time it tasted completely different and sour which makes me believe that no one is tasting anything before sending it out.
Was super excited to try this restaurant and it didn’t disappoint. Service was a touch slow, but this may have been because it was a Sunday evening. We ordered the carne cruda (dry aged beef) which was kinda of a pass for us, the beets & orange with straciatella (delish), the pappardelle with beef shortrib (star of the show) and the lumache al zafferano (shrimp with saffron which was light and yummy). We ended off the evening with the sea salt + olive oil soft serve. Would love to see them bring on more of an extensive dessert menu which I think is coming! Price points are very reasonable and overall the space build out is very beautiful. Very reminiscent of osteria guilia and giulietta! Will be returning!

Just amazing! The architecture and atmosphere are impeccable.
The downstairs level is so cozy and inviting while the upstairs level feels spatial and inspiring.
Super cute Aesthetic all over!
The service was amazing and the food was even better.
All of the staff were very friendly and inviting.
Entire Restaurant and washrooms are super clean. Can’t recommend enough!
Thanks team, looking forward to coming again :-)

Extremely disappointed with our visit. The staff was incredibly rude and unprofessional, making us feel unwelcome from the start. Their attitude completely ruined our experience, and we will not be returning. This was our first and definitely our last time here. Would not recommend.

The restaurant’s design is stunning. However, the service was incredibly disappointing. The staff was unwelcoming from the start, and the waiter was pushy, even throwing the bill on the table without us asking. I ordered two drinks at the front bar, and they forced me to pay before going to my table—it felt like they didn’t trust their guests. It’s a shame because the experience could have been amazing, but the rude service overshadowed it. Also, while the food was great, the portions were quite small.

The food is delicious, recipes taste like my traditional nonnas cooking, feels very home cooked with an elevated twist. The star of the show was the slow cooked beef and parpardelle pasta, the burrata, and the pasta with chilli and olive oil. CANNOT FORGET the vanilla soft serve with olive oil and sea salt. Sounds crazy but this is a MUST order. Probably my favorite dessert of all time. The service is 10/10. You will notice how friendly the servers are, energetic and extremely informative about the menu. You can even see the chefs having a great time while cooking your meals. Our server provided amazing recommendations and they were all incredible. The ambiance is beautiful, modern, updated and they have the most stunning floors on the upstairs level. We couldn’t leave without the coolest occhiolino graphic t-shirts, so comfy and love them. The best part about this restaurant are also the prices, they are not crazy expensive like most Italian restaurants in Toronto. The meals are extremely affordable and I will for sure be coming back with my family and friends!

I went to Occhiolino with my friend on a weeknight, and the place was full—a true sign of how great it is! The restaurant is in a beautiful building with a fantastic atmosphere that made the evening even more special. Our meal was delicious, and the service was exceptional—our server was knowledgeable and attentive, providing us with all the details we wanted to know about our dish, and she also made us feel truly welcomed. We will definitely be back! Highly recommended!

This restaurant was disappointing. In every dish we had, one ingredient dominated everything--be it the olive tapenade or chile. The agnolotti were filled with water and little filling. There was precious little taleggio cheese in them. And the Zozzona was heavy with sauce and little pecorino romano. A younger substitute cheese was used in the Zozzona. If you like good quality pasta dishes, this restaurant will disappoint, I am sorry tosay.
