English term or phrase: made eyes over
Hola a todos:

Necesito que me ayuden con "made eyes over".

Sarit Packer and Itamar Srulovich, the Isarali wife and husband duo behind the eateries, met when they made eyes over antipasti in the Tel Aviv Italian restaurant where they both worked back in 2002.

Lo único que se me ocurre es "hicieron caras" como cuando uno le hace caras a algo porque no le gusta, o "recorrieron con la vista" pero no sé si se ajusta al contexto.

Gracias.

sus miradas se cruzaron
Explanation:
The expression is "to make eyes at": flirt
http://idioms.thefreedictionary.com/make eyes at
In some Spanish countries they say "hacer ojitos" pero yo prefiero una expresión como la que propongo.
"Over antipasti" means while they were preparing/serving/eating antipasti. I would say "sus miradas se cruzaron mientras preparaban/saboreaban antipasti en el restaurante italiano donde ambos trabajaban.

agree  Robert Forstag: I don't think the expression is very common any longer in the US, but this certainly is what it means.

  -> Thanks Robert! The Spanish equivalent is old fashioned too :-)
agree  Charles Davis: "Ma! he's making eyes at me" was a big hit in the 1920s. Your suggestion is good for this context.

agree  JohnMcDove: De acuerdo con "(se) hicieron ojitos mientras saboreaban..." O "se empezaron a hacer ojitos" o "empezaron a cruzarse miradas de coqueteo o de flirteo"... No en balde, acabaron casándose, ¿no? Creo que el ingrediente de "flirteo" tiene que ir en la receta.
