Review Summary

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.

This is a true gem. Best ever escargot & steak with congnac pepper sauce. First bartender that can actually make a really good dirty martini. Higy recommend treating yourself to a great dinner all around

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!

Bon petit restaurant de style italien. La nourriture est bonne en générale & les portions sont généreuses. Les pizzas sont bien garnies & savoureuses. Le veau & les pâtes sont cuit parfaitement. La sauce bolognaise par contre est un peut trop liquide & manque un peu de saveur. Nous avons eu 2 fois les petits pain en accompagnement les premiers était chaud servi avec du beurre mais étaient Sec. Les deuxième eux étaient moelleux mais pas chaud du tout. Le plat de veau est resté plusieurs minutes sur le'pass' a attendre la pizza donc il était rendu tiède a son arrivé. Au départ le service était bien mais le restaurant s'est remplis rapidement. Le service s'est donc mis a manquer un peu de cohérence nous avons eu droit a tout le personnel par contre nous avons manqué de rien. Un des serveurs machait continuellement de la gomme . Il y a pas beaucoup d'espace entre les tables donc une fois le restaurant remplis le personnel doit contourner le restaurant pour le traverser. Le niveau de bruit devient vite haut mais il reste possible de converser. Apportez vous une veste la climatisation fonctionne très très biens.
Rampe pour handicapés a l'extérieur mais je sais pas comment circuler a l'intérieur du au faible espace. Je ne suis pas certain d'y retourner.

Pour ma part jai pris le veau parmigiana, jai demandé la sauce bolognaise au lieu de sauce tomate, la sauce manquait un peu de goût & était liquide mais, c'était quand même excellent & portion généreuse. mon conjoint a pris la pizza Sergio elle était énorme & excellente, la pâte a pizza est floffy & croustillante, elle était parfaite. Par contre les petits pains qui nous ont été servis étaient très secs. Pour ce qui est du service nous avons eu un bel accueil, mais le service n'était pas constant nous avons eu 4 personnes différentes a notre table, un serveur est venu nous n'étions pas prêt a commander, ensuite un autre est venu, lui a pris notre commande, ensuite un autre est venu nous voir, & a la fin lui qui a ramasse nos plats qui nous avait vu au début s'est mis a nous parler en anglais, mais nous a servi en français plus tôt. juste faire attention à essayer de se rappeler la langue que les clients parlent. aussi pour moi un serveur qui chique de la gomme je trouve ca très très irrespectueux. je ne suis pas certaine que j'y retournerais seulement pour le service il manquait vraiment de constance.

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.

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 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.

The food was fast but it was very dry & bland. Our appetizer was supposed to have a cream sauce but it was more of a watery vinegrette.The service was worse. Our waiter never checked on our appetizer, our main dishes, or refilled our water glasses. He never cleared our plates or came back to offer us dessert, or bring the bill. Then he basically demanded a tip & when my husband complained about our meal he said "It is what it is." So, my review also "is what it is."
