Il Focolaio
Info & Location
About us
Since 1984 clients have been coming to Il Focolaio to get that authentic Italian taste that is reminiscent of their grandmother’s cooking. Il Focolaio, in fact means fireplace in Italian. The name depicts the maple wood burning oven where each and every one of our pizzas and roasted ingredients are cooked. Our fireplace, as in the old country, not only brings forth the food but also becomes the gathering place for our clients who always feel welcomed and right at home. Our recipe for success is simple, serving up pizza using ingredients that only a true pizzaiolo would use, such as extra virgin olive oil, top quality tomatoes and only the freshest ingredients, all prepared with passion and a love for cooking to bring you the end result that you will never forget. We invite you to come and enjoy the taste of Italy with a nice glass of wine from our wine list. Enjoy it all on our terrace in the middle of downtown during the summer months.

This place was our second option since our first option was not open yet 😊 A little further down the road but it was already starting to get busy. The restaurant is not very big & was very warm. The tables were a little close together. Our pizzas were delicious & were the perfect size. It took a little while to pay the bill but our service was very friendly.View more

Awesome experience, my wife & I brought our two little kids to enjoy some pizza & it did not disappoint. The kids split a pizza & we split another with a caesar salad & they brought everything out with individual plates & ready to go as if they knew exactly what we were hoping for. We will be back for sure as the pizza was delicious! Excellent job by all!View more

Très bonne pizzeria en plein centre ville à côté de la cathédrale. Le service a été très rapide. Le serveur Rachid nous a très bien accueilli.
Nous avons pris 4 pizzas :
La montreale : une valeur sur !
La carré philips : très bonne.
