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.
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.
Nice little Italian eatery. They have a free shuttle service. Staff are friendly. Food was cooked well & proportioned as per pricing (not too much, but not skimpy, & decent quality.) Not cheap, but not overly expensive. If you want a good meal or a place to take a date to, this is it.

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!
Absolutely fantastic! Can't believe this place isn't rated higher. The service was attentive, & kind. The food was absolutely delicious italian-american fare; flavourful, fresh, with excellent but not overwhelming portions. This place is a gem!
The food is ok for an airport adjacent restaurant. I came with a group & they served us quickly. It wasn't the best Italian but it did the job. The staff is really nice
Food was subpar. I ordered a classic fettuccine alfredo with grilled chicken. The chicken felt like Costco frozen chicken reheated, & the Alfredo sauce tasted like a supermarket alfredo sauce & not a creamy italian sauce.

I came here for lunch during the week, & overall it's a decent restaurant, especially given the location. The service was great, both waiters were very fast & attentive. The restaurant was clean & tables were well spaced. However, the food was ok & I had higher expectations for an Italian restaurant. The salad was very plain with a single olive & tomato slice & lots of salad leaves. I had parmigiana as main course & there was nothing wrong with it per say, but it was just ok. For dessert, we were served carrot cake which was actually really good. Otherwise, it's a decent place & I would probably come back if in that corner again.
If you are looking for a cozy place for authentic Italian, this is your place!! Portions are excellent, & the warmed bread that comes with is perfect to get every bit of sauce as you don't want to miss a bit. The staff had the same excellent customer service towards my daughter as they did my husband & myself, which is refreshing as it makes it truly a family experience. Staff is knowledgeable to help you with a wine pairing to suit your taste. Staff are also bilingual which is a bonus. A go to spot for my family in Montreal for sure. Thank-you to the establishment for an experience & an evening.
This is a magnificent restaurant. Best Italian restaurant near to airport. If you have 1 hour to wait between flights, go & indulge in this little piece of Italy in Montreal.

Excellent range of Italian menu. The staff was very friendly & he was very kind to explain how the veal dish I ordered was prepared. Would definitely recommend it if you are looking for a good italian dining experience. They also have an excellent wine menu with some Italian imports. It has a decent parking lot size as well
