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.

Très déçue par la prestation de ce restaurant. J'ai pris la pizza numéro 75 avec polpetta di mamma Angelina, des polpettes petites comme le bout de mon petit doigt & assez insipides merci! Avec une sauce à la viande pauvre en viande & presque absente. En fait, ça ressemblait plus à de la pâte, par ailleurs assez bonne, & du fromage. 29 $ avec taxe & pourboire, c'est trop cher payé pour moi.

Delicious oven-baked pizzas with plenty of options, including a great selection of vegetarian & vegan choices, thanks to tasty vegan cheese & dough alternatives.

We shared a half-&-half pizza with a salad & really enjoyed the combination. Overall, highly recommended!

Gluten free friendly crust is to die for. Best ever. Cooked to perfection. Our one regular wheat crust eater said it was his most favourite pizza ever. Definitely recommend & coming back. So happy you were so close to our hotel. Front staff ladies 10/10.

This place was our second option since our first option was not open yet 😊 A little further down the road but it was already starting to get busy. The restaurant is not very big & was very warm. The tables were a little close together. Our pizzas were delicious & were the perfect size. It took a little while to pay the bill but our service was very friendly.
