Walked out having placed an order with the promise that they would​ have my script filled end day. Walked back in at 6 and glasses were ready and the script was dead on.

This place saved our lives! My wife and I were traveling through Europe with Rome as our first stop…read morewhen her glasses broke. Unfortunately she did not have a spare pair and needs them to see. We stopped by Occhio Al Vicolo and Stefano seriously saved our trip. He first searched his whole store for frames that would match my wife's lenses. Then when he wasn't satisfied, he encouraged us to search for frames that were stylish yet affordable, and when my wife found ones she liked he immediately placed an order and told us to come back tomorrow (right before we left for another city). Low and behold, we came to the shop tomorrow and the frames/new lenses were ready. All worked out and to boot, Stefano was helping another pair of travelers fix their glasses at no cost. amazing! Nice new frames/lenses for 125 Euro, not bad considering. IF YOU ARE A TRAVELER WITH GLASSES PROBLEMS IN ROME GO HERE!! Or if you just want nice glasses or sunglasses :)
