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.

The restaurant, as usual, food & atmosphere amazing! However, i was thrown off when the waiter gave us our receipts without mentioning a 15% tip is already included, so i ended up tipping double! That was unfortunate considering the waiter did not make any effort to come see us throughout the night. So be aware when paying!

They have so many pizza options to choose from, & it can be really hard! I was craving for seafood so I went by their seafood option, & they didn't let me down at all.

The pizza here is amazing! You can really taste the difference - it's baked in a real Italian oven, super crispy on the outside & soft inside. So many choices & every one is delicious. The service is fast & friendly. Totally worth it!
