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.

Il y a moins de tables donc beaucoup plus agréable, plus d'espace & surtout moins de bruit. La pizza & la salade César sont excellentes. Le serveur qui s'est occupé de nous était très attentionné & gentil ! Belle expérience client. À ne pas manquer !

I live in the USA & fly to Montréal twice a year at least or more & center my vacation around this pizzeria. That's how much I LOVE IT. I call to make sure their open & not on their family vacation before finalizing my travel plans. I ❤️ the Margherita pizza, customer service, & atmosphere. I place my order over the phone, & walk across the courtyard to pick it up. I usually stay at the Renaissance. It's a simple but delicious get away that I do for myself. 😁
