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.

Truffle pizza was absolutely delicious. Crunchy crust & tasty toppings.
If you're looking for a classic vegetarian option, margarita was great 👍

The pizza was amazing. We sat outside on the patio & the atmosphere was great. The seating was a bit packed/tight but still comfortable to have conversations without being too loud. There was a wide variety of pizzas to choose from. I picked one of the recommended ones & it did not disappoint! Also, I had the cannoli & it was tasty as well (disclaimer - I'm not sure what a good/bad cannoli tastes like, but it was delicious!).

My family of 4 stopped there for lunch on our tour of Montreal on a whim & usually when we do this we are left disappointed! However Il Focolaio did not disappoint at all the food portions & quality were amazing & we were served by probably the best server ever RACHID!!! I have never had someone be so genuine throughout a dining experience. Would recommend 100 times over!

It was a last minute stop to grab a pizza just before closing. They were quite busy but the food came quick & was fantastic. Will definitely be back on my next trip to Montreal.
