8/25- Don't judge a book by its cover. The exterior of the building is deceiving. Inside is quaint & romantic ambiance. Delicious food, came quick and streaming hot. Waiters are very attentive. Menu is extensive, tons of choices. I'd suggest making a reservation. read more

A few of the other people I'm in Canada with wanted to go out for food so we came here. The place has a shuttle service that'll pick you up from the hotel and bring you back so that was nice. I ordered a chicken panini that came with lettuce, tomato, Mayo and cheese with a salad on the side. It was good but I guess I didn't use the right conversion thingy cause it cost more than I thought (I'm from NYC). I enjoyed the sandwich when I ate it but then about half an hour later I started feeling really hurtful stomach pain. No idea what Canada puts in their food but I don't think I'll be eating at any local places again cause this is the second time this has happened. read more

A small gem where you would never expect it: in the industrial zone around the airport, surrounded by parking lots and airport hotels. This is an Italian restaurant with reasonable prices, good food and good service. The inside is inviting, real table cloth are used and everything just fits together. I am looking forward to my next visit... read more

Recommend by the Doubletree Hotel...up the street...just less than 10 minute walk to this gem of a place next to the Montreal airport. We had a Sunday evening early meal. The staff was excellent and welcoming. The restaurant itself was clean and neat. White tablecloths were in all tables. We had the lasagna and spaghetti with meat sauce. We started out with bruschetta and a green salad. Both were delicious and well prepared. Next was the entrees which were prepared and presented excellent. The taste was exceptional. I would highly recommend this fine establishment to anyone in the area or passing through saying near or at the Doubletree or Fairfield. Enjoy!! read more

Please be aware when you eat at this restaurant. We were visiting Montreal for 2 days. My family and I went to dinner at this restaurant on Tue, Jul 30, 2024. Unfortunately my eldest sister got food poisoning shortly after we had dinner there. She ordered VEAL CANNELLONI and shortly after dinner she started vomiting and diarrhea. She continued to vomit and diarrhea the whole night to a point where she was dehydrated because she lost so much fluid. We took her to the emergency hospital around 5:30am and we stayed there till about noontime. I called the restaurant and told them what happened and all they did was say sorry which I didn't even think was sincere. They didn't even asked what she ordered to check if the dishes they served were spoiled. I'm sharing our experience so no one else go through the unfortunate experience we had to endure. The family dinner ended up being unpleasant experience for the whole family. read more

Super great service , friendly staff, relaxing atmosphere, and wonderful food. A must stop place before hitting the airport

Food was delish! My wife and I appreciated the taste of italy! Real ingredients were made here and we tasted it. You could also see the chef cooking so you know it is fresh. Spacing is barely enough for other people to passby other tables. Vibes is semi-formal. Tends to get a full house too. Accepts credit/debit. Has parking space but if ever it gets a full house and everyone brings a car, it would not be sufficient. read more

Ok, first let me say - doesn't the food look fantastic! Such great presentation but it felt like something was missing. I can't say I'd go back as it just felt like it was missing salt? Pepper? Seasoning? Love? Idk. Either way great experience but I wouldn't eat here again. read more

Alright, straight up disclaimer: I don't usually eat out at Italian. Not much for carbs and unless pasta is hand made, no bueno. Anyhow, pressed for time, had to get to the airport, stopped in. Not a fan of the decor or lighting, but the owner/manager and staff made up for it. But the food supassed expectations. Great salads and the pizza was marvelous. Price was high for what you get so that kept this from a 5 star review. read more

Our family was having a rough day which started at 5AM, headed to YUL for an early flight, with 12 hours of delay and two mechanically broken aircraft later - a Sunday evening cancellation and an unintended extra night's stay in Montreal. The staff at the Aloft hotel recommended Focaccio, and we're so glad they did! Although the restaurant offers a free shuttle, we decided to walk over. Carl took wonderful care of us five weary travelers, recommended a wonderful red wine, and we turned the evening positive with excellent food, wonderful ambiance, and impeccable service. As we ate, the snow started falling and we had the perfect (for a Florida family) dining experience! Thank you Carl and the wonderful staff at Focaccio for turning a stressful day into a wonderful, relaxing evening of smiles and laughs. read more

I was a little unsure, I mean, really, in the airport complex area of hotels? Usually restaurants/food in these type areas are not good. BUT! I was wrong. This place is FABULOUS! A driver picked us up at our hotel and he was making a delivery and took us to the restaurant! He was super friendly and nice and FUNNY. Now the restaurant-very tasteful. The staff spot on and the food was delicious! We had a lovely house wine. You will not regret eating here. Made the end of our trip memorable. Thank you!!!! read more

We stopped here because it was close to the airport, and looked good. It is a quaint little place that is clean and well set up. The food is terrific, and the service very good. We would come back in a heartbeat if ever in the area and looking for a place to eat. Highly recommended! read more

Loved the food, we sat down one day while our cat was at the vet down the road but they called us for an emergency and we had to run out before ordering. We left a tip but the staff didn't seem to be too happy about it. I came back two weeks later when our cat was at another appointment and ordered take out just to be cautious of that happening again. Take out was amazing and the restaurant is so nice for its location!! Definitely surprised and enjoyed it! read more

We were seated right away thanks to one empty table for 2 being available. We ordered drinks and entrees. Drinks, martini and Chianti wine, came but no water as requested do we ended up asking another waiter for water. Our waiter kept returning to the table to apologize for the fact we had no entrees yet, but we were the ones to ask, well what about some bread with olive oil? Another drink ordered. It shows up, then bread and finally our meals! One was Salmon with vegetables and pasta with tomato sauce flavored with artichokes. The request for Barramundi did not happen as they were out of it so cod with vegetables and pasta with tomato sauce and artichokes was enjoyed. Only due to the food being so good is it that I am giving it 4 stars! Service should have been better or at least know how to keep customers happy as continual apologies are not enough for people expecting to eat. read more

I stay at one of the airport hotels in the area quite often and water something different than their restaurant. Saw this place and decided to give it a try. The place has a simple clean layout and wasn't very busy when I arrived. The waiter attended to me immediately and i decided to go with a salad and the pasta carbonara. Very nice salad and the pasta was delicious. It compares with meals I had a few weeks ago in Rome. I will return here often. read more

So pleased to find this restaurant. Service is very good and a wide range of dinner choices. Close to YUL.

Delicious Italian food! Fabulous service. I had Veal Parmigiana and Minestrone soup. Excellent flavor, a large portion, and the veal was very tender. Highly recommend read more

Delicious and reasonably priced. Definitely coming back during my next trip to Montreal!

Staying overnight by the airport and walked over. Had the spaghetti bolognese and Gigi! Enjoyed both dishes very much. Gracie!

The food was very tasty. Silvio was my waiter and he was so excellent. I was staying at the Fairfield down the street and the front desk recommended Focaccio when I asked about restaurants in the area. I was just coming in from Spain, tired and trying to fight off a cold. I wanted a hot meal. Silvio recommended the Cod with capers and fresh tomatoes and artichokes in a light wine sauce, with broccoli and carrots and a small portion of pasta. It was so good - I forgot to take a pic. For my first course I had the spinach soup which was delicious. Just what I need for my throat and cough. I also had the marinated mushrooms. Silvio was the best. He had his driver take me back to the Fairfield so that I wouldn't have to walk the 3 blocks in the windy cold Canadian night. I highly recommend Focaccio for the food, service and Silvio. He's the best! read more

We opted for this restaurant really only because the airport hotel shuttle service was willing to take us here. A 45 second drive from the Comfort Inn, we sat down to a place which was little nice than us weary travellers were dressed for. However, we were kindly welcomed and seated promptly. All the pastas were delicious. Creamy and rich. Most plates were completely cleared. They have a small wine collection well displayed in the corner. Between the service and the flavour we were all happily surprised by this restaurant. read more

I was not sure about the restaurant since I have had not the best experiences going to restaurants close by airports but I am really surprised and I glad I try this place although I wish I had done it before not the last day I am here. Is a small restaurant but at least the 3 thing I tried : egg & cheese broth / garlic & pesto bread and the Focaccio Pasta (I did it with fettuccine ) are really good. Ingredients . Now I know Whenever I have to come back to Montreal and stay close by the airport there is no brainer I will of course come back to this restaurant !! read more

This place looks like a ghetto from the outside, but is really nice on the inside. The menu has a good selection of sandwiches, pastas, and meat dishes as well as appetizers and salads. I had the prosciutto and melon as an appetizer and lasagna for a main course. The melon was not ripe or juicy. The prosciutto wasn't great either. The blend was really bland and I didn't finish it. The lasagna was equally boring. The service was fine though, so with that and the atmosphere, I give it 3 stars. It wasn't horrible, but not worth a second trip. read more

I was staying at a hotel near the airport and we stopped in for dinner. Being from Buffalo, Ny I was apprehensive at first but trusted the reviews on Yelp. What a pleasant surprise! Great Italian dishes and great service from the staff! I have the veal Marsala with a side of bolognese and my co-worker had the cannelloni. If I were in town another night I would definitely be having dinner here again! Mike Buffalo, NY read more

So here I was - cooped up in a Montreal airport hotel after a late night arrival: and I was absolutely starving. We had a problem on our hands here, so I fired up Yelp and was on my way, hoofing it to Focaccio as quickly as I could. Star 1: How were the service and atmosphere? While I have to imagine that Focaccio caters quite a bit to the take out crowd (which is what I opted for), the atmosphere was comfortable and inviting with fast service and friendly staff. What more could I have asked for? Star Granted. Star 2: How were the portions relative to the cost? Seriously? Holy moses. This is some serious value folks. I opted for the Spaghetti with Amoroso, and expected a decent portion for $11.50. What I got was an absolute beast that could have easily covered two or even three meals, as is evident by this picture: http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/restaurant-focaccio-dorval?select=AhBLIOQDXymarluRPFzdrw#AhBLIOQDXymarluRPFzdrw Great value. Star Granted. Stars 3 and 4: How was the food? Was this the best Italian food I've ever had? It wasn't, but it was damn good, and really hit the spot considering I'd just spent several hours on a late night international flight. The sauce was flavorful and the pasta well-cooked, and while it could have benefitted from a bit of black pepper or red pepper flakes or a slightly more generous portion of ground beef within the sauce, I was more than content at the end of the meal. Single Star Granted. Star 5: Would you eat here every day if you could? Normally? This would be A-ok, but considering the fact that Focaccio is in close proximity to the airport and provides value where they don't necessarily need to (being the only option in the area), Focaccio deserves some serious recognition. Star Granted. read more

What a find!! We are stuck in Montreal airport area for 3 days due to weather. Wanted to find a place within walking distance of our airport hotel. What a great place!! First -- ask for Silvio!! Amazing server-he "owns" the menu. My husband had the Bella Gusta pizza. Hand tossed crust-absolutely wonderful!!! Lots of toppings! I had the Veal Scaloppine al Focaccio (signature dish). The veal was good--not amazing-although I do not usually eat veal. But the gnocchi and vegetables made up for it. The chefs red sauce is probably the best I've ever had ( coming from an Italian Ex husband). Rich-tomatoey- and just a little kick to it. The veggies were grilled - simple- carrots and snap peas. But obviously fresh! Perfectly grilled. Service was stupendous. food was 5 stars! I'd highly recommend this place even if you are not "stuck" here. read more

As I have said many times I love Italian. When I ended up at near by Best Western I looked up the best rated restaurant on Yelp that was nearby. I ended up at the small Restaurant Foccaccio. It was Italian but it wasn't up to the quality I have had in other restaurants. My biggest complaint was the Parmesan cheese. When i eat Italian I like fresh Parmesan, not something out of a bottle. Food was tasty, but portions were a little on the small side. I would eat here again, but if you are looking for an above average mom and pop Italian restaurant, this isn't it. read more

So I stayed in Dorval, which was a mistake.... Montreal... can we talk about your construction for a second... OMG! THE ONLY saving grace was this restaurant, we were about a km drive but of course it took 10minutes to drive here. The food is FANTASTIC, the outside doesn't seem like you'd somehow venture into a nice restaurant, but, even thought I didn't eat in, the ambiance was wonderful. Everyone was very friendly, and had a great smile (or maybe I was late and they thought that I would skip out on my order and were super happy when I got there lol) The food was good, I had this pasta which was a bit spicy I think the gigi and omg...WOW so happy. Pizza was nice as well, thin crust but I def. loved the pasta... If you're staying in Dorval (I already feel bad for you!) just come here for a dinner, don't try to venture into downtown. read more

Totally exceeded my expectations! I could not find flaw with any course. All dishes were absolutely delicious, with fresh ingredients and seasoned to perfection. Our group had the penne arrabbiata, linguini Alfredo, Italian salad, and a margarita pie. Being from the NY area we have high standards for pizza and I was really shocked at how well it was executed. The pasta in the dishes was cooked perfectly, and the sauces were incredible. Service was impeccable, at the ready with fresh cracked black pepper and grated cheese, and on point with clearing dishes and topping off drinks. Dessert deserves a special mention as the house-made cheesecake (lemon tonight) was some of the best I have ever tasted. Lastly, as a bonus, the restaurant offers free shuttle service to/from our nearby hotel. One call and we were picked up within minutes from the most pleasant driver. If back in the Montreal area I will most definitely revisit this gem!! Interesting note: we were surprised it was so empty on a Saturday evening (arrived around 9pm), but we were told that unlike most places their business is very bustling during the week and slow on the weekends. Just an FYI not to be put off by lack of customers if you arrive to an empty place- it is NOT to be missed so enjoy the extra attention ;) read more

I usually come here to eat whenever I have an overnight in Montreal. My favorite is lasagna al forno w/ the bread and my favorite with it is a glass of chardonnay.

A lovely little restaurant just down the street from Doubletree hotel. ( walking distance 500 metres). The restaurant was busy when we arrived, however, we were seated right away. We were given ample time to review the wine and food menu before our waiter Carl greeted us. Immediately he apologized for the wait. We were grateful to have that time to talk and not feel pressured to order. Carl was courtesy and spoke perfect English to us. I asked to sample the house white before ordering since it was suggested it may not be dry enough for me. Carl was back in minutes with a nice mouthful. Both my partner and I ordered the house wine, white for me red for him. We never order house since it's usually the bottom of the barrel wine. I order the special, salmon in lemon sauce. It was spectacular! My partner ordered the veal dish. Tho he felt the presentation was not great the flavours were amazing. I would definitely come back. read more
