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.

This place was right next to our hotel in downtown Montreal. It was super busy! It has over 70 pizza options which I thought was so cool. It came out really quick & it was DELICIOUS!!! Tasted just like NY wood fire pizza! Would definitely recommend.

La pizza est délicieuse. Le seul GROS problème est la musique à tue-tête (du ACDC en prime hier soir). Déjà qu'on ne s'entend pas parler dans ce resto à cause d'une acoustique déficiente & du fait que les tables sont collées les unes sur les autres😕 Une musique plus calme & pas criarde améliorerait GRANDEMENT l'atmosphère.
