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).
