About

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.

Nous y sommes allés (8 personnes) sur l'heure du dîner. Tout était bon! Deux personnes dans le groupe n'ont pas reçu leur repas à temps alors le restaurant a compensé, ce qui a été apprécié. Endroit bruyant, bon service, tout le personnel est attentionné. J'y retournerai assurément.

Great place for pizza, the staff is very polite & friendly.
The menu is too big, if you are undecisive, you will have a hard time choosing a pizza.
I ordered the pizza tartufo & my friend got the Hawaiien. Both were very good.

Super leckere Pizzen. Sehr große Auswahl. Service war freundlich. Wir hatten Glück und sind vor 19 Uhr da gewesen, danach waren alle Tische voll und es gab eine lange Schlange. Dort essen auch viele Einheimische was ebenfalls für das Restaurant spricht. Top
