Di Sapia Opticians

There’s no question that Di Sapia Opticians and Sunglasses Boutique stocks some pretty fabulous eyewear. The gently lit display shelves that line the sleek shop’s walls house a selection of frames by names that evoke luxury: St. Laurent, Chanel, Tom Ford. Yet don’t let the brand names intimidate you, for at Di Sapia that luxury is served up with a healthy dose of friendly neighbourhood customer service. That’s because for Michael and Lucia Di Sapia, the brother-and-sister team that owns and runs this optical boutique, there’s no other part of city they’d like to run a business, and no other neighbourhood they’d like to serve. “For us, it’s about more than selling glasses,” says Michael Di Sapia. “We want to know that person and be their optician for life.”
