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.

Sehr leckere Pizza. Super freundlicher Service. Wartezeiten muss man einberechnen, da das Lokal sehr beliebt ist. Preis/Leistung sehr gut.

Assez bruyant vous êtes de suite plongé dans l ambiance italienne / chacun sait ce qu il doit faire . C est une machine bien rodée . Les pizzas sont belles & succulentes . Le service est rapide & efficace tout en étant prévenant .
Petit budget pour deux pizzas avec un verre de vin & une bière 75 dollars .

We sat outdoors, ordered 4 different pizzas, all of them delicious. The pizzas are at least 12 inches, huge selection, very reasonable wine list & we had an exceptional waiter. Couldn't have been better.
