Overall, Focaccio is widely praised for warm, attentive service, a welcoming vibe near the airport, and generous Italian fare that delivers on flavor. Dishes like veal, lasagna, seafood and the house wine are frequently highlighted as highlights, with tiramisu and other desserts earning compliments. The atmosphere is described as pleasant and charming, though a few reviews mention it can get noisy and the decor feels a bit dated. A number of diners appreciate convenient options for travelers, including a free shuttle and easy access to hotel pick ups, with portions described as substantial. While the food is usually described as excellent and the portions hearty, some comments note occasional inconsistencies in service or in delivery items for takeout. Overall, Focaccio is seen as a reliable, reasonably priced gem with a real Italian vibe and a staff that makes guests feel welcome, encouraging repeat visits.
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.

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.
This lively Italian restaurant was within walking distance of our airport hotel & we were pleasantly surprised with the excellent food & friendly service. Our server, Claudio, made helpful suggestions which were all delicious. I highly recommend the veal al Focaccio, which has the most exquisite sauce. & the chocolate gelato is flown in from Italy!
Friendly service. Sergio Pizza was crispy just enough cheese . The bruschetta & the cesar salad with chicken hit the spot . The lobster ravioli very good . White & red house wine was good . No room for dessert . Wife liked the bathroom because it is private. Not like public bathrooms with no partitions . Shuttle service . We were picked us up at the hotel & were driven back . Grazie!!

Pretty regular, nothing too impressive, but no negative comments overall. We ordered a margarita pizza, which is normally fresh mozzarella & basil, but it turned out to be just a cheese pizza. The service was fine however & they also have a driver (shuttle) with a minivan who picked us up & dropped us at a nearby hotel, which was nice.
What an amazing find along an industrial road in Dorval Montreal. Can't say enough about the people & the food - & they even sent a driver to our hotel to get us & returned us after a terrific night! Five stars over & over again!
This was a nice, quiet place off the beaten path, very close to the airport. So close we walked from the Sherton Hotel. Easy walk. Great food. Loved the sauce. While you waited for the meal, it came with 2 sour dough rolls. They have a large wine fridge. The seating was on the nicer side, but others had on casual attire, yet you could dress up for a nice dinner as well. Both would feel comfortable. Price was as expected for such a restaurant. Great experience. I would go again.
Given its odd location in an industrial area close to the airport, that just helps it shine more. Food is cooked to order, & the staff is amazing & able to answer any questions you may have. Bravo, gentlemen. Your food & atmosphere have helped make my night at a dingy hotel just a bit more bearable.

I randomly discovered this gem by accident. I stay in Montréal every 2 weeks flying through to/from work, & happened to be staying at a hotel close by. Was hungry, walked over, & was miraculously surprised by the place. Ordering a pasta, I wasn't sure what to expect, but didn't have any high hopes. Appearances can be deceiving. I was pleasantly surprised, & happy for it. This was, without a word of exaggeration, the BEST pasta I have eaten in my life. The prices are fair, the service is friendly, & the food is to die for. I now go to Focaccio for dinner every two weeks when I travel through, without fail. Serge is the owner, & he knows how to treat customers. Even on the busy nights, when the place is packed, he still makes a point to come & say hello. Top notch, in my opinion. So, if you're looking to take someone to impress, or with some friends &/or family, or just dining alone, this is the place to go. You can't go wrong. Oh.. & finish it off with the tiramisu, if you have room
We were picked up by (free) restaurant shuttle at Aloft airport hotel! We shared a Quatro Fromage pizza (Sicilian style) & eggplant parm. All delicious. Our waiter was great. Leftovers packed for plane travel. We are coming back on our way back from vacation.
Je n'ai jamais mangé de si bons plats italiens. C'est toujours frais & rapide. Ils offrent même un service de navette gratuit à partir des hôtels à proximité. C'est magique!
Recommander par le gérant de l'hôtel Aloft, nous n'avons pas été déçue. Service de voiturier à l'hôtel. Nourriture impecable & service à envier. Les desserts italiens sont fantastiques. Prix raisonnable pour la qualite
