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.
Delicious food. Staff treats you like family. Portions are generous. House wine is flavorful. Decor is somewhat dated but the food & service is the headline. Try the veal!
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

'Amazing experience near the airport! The restaurant was spotless & very comfortable. The food was excellent, fresh & full of flavor, & the service was outstanding - the staff were very friendly, quick, & always attentive. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a great meal & welcoming atmosphere close to the airport. Definitely a spot I would return to again!
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!
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!!
