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.
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 .
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.

Ordered Napoletana with chicken through delivery. Bread was just thrown into the delivery bag with no wrapping. Pasta had two strands of hair in it. Flavour was not bad but could have been better. Chicken was rather dry. Not impressed with the food as it was not worth the cost. Prepare your dishes better for delivery!!!
Delicious food, good atmosphere & amazing service from Claudio! We will come back for sure.
I took the veal Focaccio served with pasta & grilled veggies & it was so delicious! Wow! Congratulations to the chef!
Everything was perfect!
Special compliments to Sergio, the owner, who made this place such a gem! 😊
Quality of food is top notch! Bit expensive, but really solid. Osso buco, veal parm, & the fish are all amazing. Only criticisms are bigger portions on the included pasta/asparagus, & the seating is a bit cramped. Other than that all great.
The service was very good, & the desserts were delicious as well. I got the seafood pasta & I think there was not enough seafood in the dish & it was lacking a bit of salt, but it was nice & creamy. The escargot was very good. The restaurant atmosphere is good & the area is clean.

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
