On New Year’s Eve, we made a last-minute decision to dine out and enjoy a delicious meal. The service was incredibly friendly, and the food was excellent. Even though it was passed the closing time, the owner kindly delayed closing because we planned to get dessert to go. He insisted that we enjoy the dessert at the restaurant, because it wouldn’t be the same boxed up. It was a wonderful experience, and we’re so glad it added extra warmth to our New Year celebration.
Grazie mille!

Great food, great wine, and great service!!
We ordered the lasagna and spaghetti alla puttanesca which were both the pasta del giorno. I hope the lasagna becomes part of the normal menu because it was so delicious!! Other stars were the caponata, meat balls, and tiramisu! All great portion sizing for the price!
We will definitely be going back! Recommend calling ahead to make a reservation unless you are ok with sitting at the bar.

Had a great experience at Occhi Belli. The menu was solid and the portions were generous for the price. Everything we tried tasted very fresh and delicious, especially the meatballs plus focaccia and mushroom bruschetta. We shared the penne shrimp pasta of the day and a bottle of Italian Nebbiolo — both were great. Really charming spot with fair prices. Definitely a must-go

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.

Felt like you could be in a little town in Italy here. The owner was one of the original owners of Brunello on Roosevelt. Occhi Belli is an enoteca-style concept named after a novel he wrote. What a cool story (literally).
They have wine by the bottle and by the glass, delicious and affordable small plates, and service that makes you feel like family. I loved the NA sparkling! It was a spanish verdejo that wasn’t too sweet. My husband really enjoyed the Cabernet Sauvignon by the glass from Hightower made with grapes from red mountain. The menu is extensive so you can try a bunch of things and have a full-on dinner here. All great but we especially loved the focaccia, caponata, meatballs and gnocchi. Prices are some of the best in Seattle too

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!!

We have been twice in one week, absolutely delicious! Tim, the owner, provides the best, most personal service. The gnocchi, bruschetta and focaccia, especially are to die for but everything was delicious – all made in-house! As I eat my leftovers from last night, I can’t help but say out loud “damn, that is SO good”
Thank you Tim! See you again soon

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!

This is a new place in our neighborhood and it’s the best Italian food to come our way! Great wines, a good sized menu (with lots of vegetarian selections) and fine service. They also have a happy hour each day! We’ll be back!

We made a reservation for Valentine’s Day and had a great time. Cozy atmosphere with fast service even on a holiday. The meatballs, gnocchi and mushroom bruschetta were awesome. It would be more helpful if the staff could explain a bit more about the vintage and region of the wine by the glass. The other recommendation is a white tablecloth and a small candle to elevate the ambiance.
