If you visit Italy you MUST go home with at least one pair of exclusive looking glasses! We chanced…read moreupon Venezia Oro & Occhiali and ended up getting at least one each if not more and this after we had bought frames elsewhere. So if you are in Venice, do visit the numerous eyewear shoppes. BUT before you do decide to get any and if you are looking for something really special ... you ABSOLUTELY MUST visit Silvana at her place! She has a beautiful range of unique eyewear that will just astound you. I have never seen eyewear in such beautiful colours and designs to complement every mood that you can possibly have or want to be in. Plus Silvana has years of experience in every aspect of the industry, not just optometry, and has such dedication, and a wonderful personality, and she will help you choose the pair that suits you best. We had such a fun time and enjoyed our experience at Venezia Oro & Occhilali. Don't miss out on the one shop you MUST visit if you are buying eyewear. Hope to visit again in a couple of years!

The lady who is working there is very friendly and patient. Her English level is very decent.read more

A tiny optical store near San Marco square that carries a thoughtfully curated selection of…read moredesigner eyewear and sunglasses including their own label OTTICA URBANI. This family owned business is run by two sisters and a brother. I met the charming Barbara Urbani today as they take turns working in their shop. Their eponymous line is by far the most interesting in the store. I especially loved their natural horn glasses and also the ones with black frames with wooden temples, very subtle yet interesting. They also carry many over-sized sculptural looking glasses for the more avant-garde dresser. Barabara designed a pair of reading glasses with a large ? on the temple which is getting a lot of attention in the design world right now, so I had to buy a pair!!! I've always been told that I ask too many questions so it seemed fitting with my personality!

I was ready for the shopkeeper to not be helpful since I wasn't there to buy something. Much to my delight and surprise, the woman who I learned is the owner exemplified perfect customer relations. She not only fixed my glasses immediately, but cleaned my lenses and wouldn't accept a tip for your amazing kindness. THAT'S the type of store I want to buy from, and when I'm back in Venice, I'll be sure to do just that! Hoping readers of this review will support merchants such as Ottica Ducale. Grazie!

After visiting over 20 glasses shops in Paris and not finding the right style for the right budget,…read moreI gave up. While wandering around Venice not long after, I came across this lovely little shop with stylish decor and the friendliest and coolest owner, Alessandro. The glasses that drew me in were a 90's style wire frame that I saw in the window and I was astounded to learn that they were less than 200 Euros. I was told that they were the owner's design and made in a small town in northern Italy. Alessandro took his time helping me make the right decision and didn't pressure me at all. He gave me a complimentary eye exam to confirm my prescription, upgraded my lenses for free and got the glasses back to me in a couple of days, just before I left town. It was such a fun shop with a great variety of styles for all kinds of budgets and Alessandro made it such a fun and memorable experience that I couldn't recommend this shop more.

My boyfriend and I found this store two years ago on our trip to Venice and could not have been…read morehappier with the service and products. We stopped in at closing but instead of rushing us out the owner spent over an hour showing us frames and described the details of each pair. We never felt any pressure to purchase anything but did in the end. We returned this year and both of us again returned for another pair. The owner steered me away from very expensive frames which were not as complimentary as other pairs. He was right. I am so happy with my sunglasses. The products in his boutique are of such good quality and not your typical everyday glass frame you can get anywhere. The service is exceptional and priced right. I can't wait to return again in two years.

Thank you Stefano for the beautiful glass work and for making it all so easy. I hope to purchase more work in the near future. Kevin & Nathaly

So we go about trying things on -not being rough or rude but yes, taking each other's advise into consideration which one of the staff took offense at. Excuse me for valuing the opinion of my family! She stared being obnoxious and said that she was there to work so let her do her job. Our 22-year old started placating her but she was unbelievably rude. We weren't about to give business to this store where the staff was so out of line. We walked out of the store.
