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.

Pizzeria de renommée
Les pizzas sont délicieuses
J'ai seulement été déçue de la pizza au fromage de chèvre, qui ne goûtait rien
Je ne la reprendrai plus
Mais toutes les autres sont habituellement délicieuses!

Meilleure pizza au four à bois à Montréal. Belle grand terrasse. Toujours le même excellent service depuis que j'ai commencé à fréquenter ce resto… en 1998. Une valeur sûre.

J'ai testé 2 fois & je valide cette adresse déjà bien répertoriée. La pizza était très bonne & le service impeccable. Peut être bruyant quand la salle est remplie.

Ottima pizzeria , notevole la varietà e assortimento. Offre anche gustose alternative in un locale informale, dove personale gentile e veloce vi assiste. Buona l'offerta di bevande, birra e vino, ok anche i dolci. Prezzo nella norma. Consigliato.

Me & my family love the pizza here, lots of options for toppings, & the thin crust is delicious. Otherwise, the restaurant seems mostly intended for tourists who want to eat & keep moving. I recommend it for lunch. They could fix a little the atmosphere, it's too dark in some areas & the tables are quite small. The service sometimes is good, but sometimes it seems they just want you to leave as soon as possible.
