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.

'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!

The staff were friendly, & the restaurant had a nice atmosphere, but the food really fell short.

It seemed to us as though the food was prepared ahead of time & reheated. It unfortunately did not taste fresh.

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!!

Came in on a Saturday evening & ordered food to go - it was ready & hot in less than five minutes. The staff were incredibly friendly & even struck up a conversation with me while I waited. Great service & quick turnaround. Would definitely recommend!

Bonne expérience en général. J'ai cependant une remarque . La loi adoptée indique que les pourboires doivent être sur le montant avant les taxes & non sur le montant après taxes . Vos machines ne sont pas conformes à la loi . C'est dommage , j'ai payé pour ne pas m'obstiner mais il serait bien si vous corrigez cela . J'ai payé le pourboire sur les taxes cette fois-ci mais ça pourrait inciter d'autres à ne même pas donner du pourboire 😅. J'espère que le propriétaire prendra note & passera le message au reste du staff .

➕ Cuisine très bonne, bien décoré & service impeccable, pas d'attente.

➖ Un poil cher, mais ca reste acceptable.

Je recommande ce restaurant.

Service Service Service :) :) :)

Our waiter was very helpful & knowledgeable ( he makes a mean cosmo)

We began with boconcini tomatoes & sausages.

Then came the Chicken Parm & Puttanesca Penne ( my wife's fav )

Half way through her pasta she ordered a tiramisu to go - when she does that it's a sign .

The wine recommendation made Rita happy'Wine is good for Angelo when Rita has a second glass.'

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!!!

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.

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

Wasn't sure what to expect with it by the airport (visiting from out of town), but everything was great! Big portion & great taste, would recommend!
