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.

Nous étions un groupe de 11 & quand nous sommes arrivé le restaurant était plein , ils ont pris le temps d'analyser les possibilité & ils ont réussi a nous trouvé une place dans un temps qui était plus que acceptable. Nous avons commandé & reçu notre commande dans un temps record & en plus tout était vraiment délicieux probablement la meilleure pizza que j'ai mangé. Le service était parfait le personnel est extrêmement gentil & attentionné. Très belle expérience nous recommandons fortement & nous allons assurément y retourner merci beaucoup pour se délicieux souper!

Best pizza spot in Montreal by far. Their food is amazing & their desserts are totally worth it. The service is great & the 15-minute takeout option is super convenient. Just make sure you arrive early, the line outside the restaurant can get very long (but more than worth the wait)
