Sooooo good! Prices super reasonable, so you can get a wide variety of dishes. Everything we ordered was delicious. Gorgonzola gnocchi, roasted cauliflower, butternut squash soup, risotto seafood, king salmon and meatballs. We will make a trip down from Bellingham to eat here again. So delicious.

randomly stopped by as it was one of the few restaurants open at 3pm. I was so surprised by how affordable the prices are. I don't drink alcohol so i can't speak to that but i ordered meatballs and the carbonara (the special for the day) and the portions were large and quality was great! honestly. It seems to be a simple high quality restaurant. I recommend it!!

Had a great dinner here on Saturday night. This is jus the kind of place Wallingford needs. It felt special without being stuffy. The service was friendly and attentive and the food was absolutely amazing. We had the gnocchi and mussels and meatballs and a wonderful bottle of wine. I can't wait to come back.

Yay - a new AND good restaurant here in Wallingford. I went last night for a birthday girls dinner. Sweet place! Affordable bottles of wine. Pasta dishes for $15. We had a good time and were well-fed. Staff is very friendly and personable. I definitely enjoyed the meatballs - flavorful and filling. They're something I like to make so I can be somewhat judgy about them. These balls rocked!

Such a great addition to the neighborhood and out of the three recently opened wine bars in the neighborhood this one is hands down my favorite. I went for the second time last night. The owner is so friendly and welcoming and the food is great. Since I only live 3 blocks away this will definitely become a regular spot for me! Highly recommend.

Love this place. Tim is great, so friendly and efficient. The food is delicious. The prices are good. The place is clean, from front to back. Parking isn’t bad, at least on the Friday night that we were there. Don’t come expecting pasta, this isn’t that place. The tiramisu was deconstructed but excellent. The wine list is perfect with good prices. No Prosecco but the sparkling wine was BETTER. Yes, better. The person who picked this French sparkling knows what they are doing. Small quibble, it can get loud. But management knows it and is working on it. My new favored restaurant in the area.

Had a great date night at this Wallingford gem! Really delicious gnocchi, focaccia (dipped in gnocchi sauce… yum), meatballs and beet salad. Definitely will be back to try more items on their menu!

Nice wine bar with nice atmosphere. It is kind of an Italian “tapas” bar with small plates and limited menu. I had mistakenly thought it would have an Italian restaurant menu when I agreed to meet there so was a bit disappointed in the menu. What we had, calamari, gnocchi, and mussels were good. It is a small space and were 2 large parties so it got pretty noisy but not terrible.
Great place. The waiter, Tim is especially charming!

Perfect date night spot! Excellent small plate Italian food, amazing selection of wines, more importantly, offered by an excellent sommelier, who is also the sole owner. Brand new spot. Check it out!!

I have had the chance to visit Occhi Belli twice since its opening. My first visit I had the classic Caesar salad, the gnocchi with gorgonzola and a filet with veal demi glaze. All were excellent, with the gnocchi being my favorite plate. On our second visit I tried the soup of the day (a nice potato with pepper) followed by the meatballs and pasta of the day which was a ravioli. It was a perfectly balanced meal and the service was excellent. We sat near the windows up front and watched as folks strolled along 45th. Many poked their heads in to check out the new space :) Great decor, top notch service and a lively atmosphere coupled with exceptional plates. We will be returning soon!
