Overall impressions of Focaccio point to a warm, authentic Italian dining experience near the airport with a free shuttle and friendly, attentive service; guests note generous portions, a broad menu ranging from pizzas and pastas to seafood and veal, and solid to excellent flavors with some standout dishes like vongole linguine and lasagne. The atmosphere is described as charming and inviting, with old world character and a welcoming vibe that makes diners feel at home, while the service is praised for being helpful and courteous though a few visits mention fluctuations during busy periods. Prices are generally reasonable for the area and the wine list is well received, with desserts such as tiramisu highlighted and the chocolate gelato noted as special by some. Some criticisms mention inconsistent execution, oily dressing on a Caesar salad, dry chicken in certain dishes, and noise or space challenges in a busy room; delivery or takeout experiences are mixed, with occasional reheating or packaging issues. Overall, Focaccio is recommended as a reliable, cozy option for travelers and locals alike, likely to inspire return visits.
Wonderful meal, service was absolutely stellar, refilling wine glasses & clearing plates. I had the Spaghetti Romanoff & it was absolutely delicious. Mike made us a special dessert plate to share at our table. Great recommendations for wine as well.

My fiancé & I took a chance on a random google maps pick & weren't disappointed. The driver was a talkative, energetic young man who was confident we would enjoy the restaurant. He was not wrong, the food was great, the staff were polite & efficient, & the price was very reasonable. My only critique & suggestion to escalate it further would be to change the playlist. It was radio pop when we came in & just didn't match the vibe of a quiet Italian restaurant. Would go back again!
Really close to Pierre Elliott Trudeau airport. We visited here as we were staying overnight in Montreal for our flight the next day. Food was good & wide selection & variety. Would definitely go back next time we are staying by the airport

Shuttle driver Oz was super nice & personable, he also assists all
Around the dining room. It is a nice service in that everyone (3-4 servers) all help all
Over the room. Food was good, my pizza was excellent, both pastas were good, the Cesar salad was not good (as per my daughter who eats Cesar's everywhere we go) dressing felt oily & chicken was dry & romaine a bit wilted.
All in all I would return, super cute spot with great service .
Vongole linguine is delicious. Pizza was tasty crusr a bit thick. Love the spicy oil with big chunks of peppers. Monday to
Thursday is apparently very busy so make sure to reserve. Staff is very friendly & prices are reasonable. Thank you for 26 years of service
Service was amazing from start to finish! They picked us up at our hotel & the young man was sooo friendly,!! Food was delicious & the owner is amazing!! Highly recommended!!! Will definitely be back next time we are in Montreal!! From your new friends from Thunder Bay Ontario!!!
We were recommended to eat here while we were staying at the Sheraton in Montreal from a gentleman at the front desk. To say we were so happy with the recommendation was an understatement! The resteraunt offers a free shuttle to & from the hotel (make sure to have cash to tip the driver). It has been awhile since a gentleman has pulled out my chair in a resteraunt. This place is full of old world charm, & an understated class that you feel. The vibe is warm & it's clear that there is generations of love inside of these walls. The service was outstanding!! Carl was responsive & very kind, & knew the menu inside & out. The food was delish & the wine list versatile. The ride back to the hotel the driver was so kind & personable. I can't say enough positive things. Skip the chain resteraunts, this place is warm & homey & the food is brilliant. Thank you we will return.
My server was Carl & I let him pick my wine or my food & he gave me the best experience of my life I highly recommend people coming here. From the atmosphere to the food it is perfect. PS give this man Carl a raise
Wow
Michel nous a proposer venir nous chercher à l'aéroport sans qu'on le demande, ce qui a mon avis est en partant une belle preuve d'un restaurant consciencieux qui apprécie leur clientèles.
Entrés, plats principaux & désert/café excellent de la première à la dernière bouché le tout arrosé un excellent chianti 2022.
On ne pouvais pas mieux commencé nos vacances dans le sud avec un bon souper au Focaccio.
Sergio est venu nous servir lui même. Service & expérience inoubliable.
Nous nous reverrons bientôt
Merci Michel & Sergio.
Ne Pas oublier whali qui nous offre l'aller retour de l'hôtel d'une façon courtoise & serviable.
Le bifsteak était excellent. On aurait aimé avoir une option d'avoir des patates au four mais des légumes & des pâtes comme accompagnement étaient bons. Tiramisu maison était aussi délicieux
Pizza was raw had to send back to back to be re-cooked , came raw for the second time , nice older gentleman replaced with pasta.
Eating the pasta felt like fishing for noodles in soup.
How can an'italian' restaurant go so wrong with there 2 main dishes.
Do not go !
Chefs were arguing in the kitchen.
