Bell'occhio is without question one of the most unusual stores in the US. I do a lot of shopping and speak from considerable experience. Not only is the merchandise very carefully selected and presented with limitless imagination (e.g. a cordon of Marie Antoinette dolls, with little goats on fine ribbon leashes, making their way across a vintage metal bridge, itself a little structural wonder) but the knowledge of the friendly store staff about everything in the store and old-world craftsmanship in general is really astonishing. This is a resource unlike any other. They have had custom shoe boxed made to fit my obstinate closet and made memorable party favors (and wedding favors) for friends. Don't miss this store. It is one of a kind!
Pros: Great atmosphere and Wonderful Merchandise
Cons: Closed Sunday and Monday
