La Focaccia: Reviews & Ratings

This is a bit of a drive for us, but we keep it in our rotation because it has been consistently good. It's mostly in the old world Italian category, but with an updated slant. Pretty surprised the average rating here is below a 4, because it deserves better. The wait staff is old world too, but they know their menu and professional. It is also BYOB, which is our preference. Most dishes are hardy, so a solid earthy red with body is always a good choice. There are a few standard specialties that should be tried if these are too your taste. The calves liver (for those who love it; my wife does - not me - she often gets it) and the veal parm (not cheap, but worth it, and something ordered about every other visit, just because it's that good; you might skip the appetizers, if ordering, it's that filling). Desserts are plentiful and fairly typical of this type of Italian eatery. However, the gelato flavors are often changed and can be pretty unique. Sometimes there are flavors not listed on the menu, or are in such short supply after having been listed previously, so ask about what is not listed, as it could be a wonderful surprise.

Had a lovely early Sunday evening dinner that everyone enjoyed. I loved the butternut squash soup to start on a cold night, it was warm but not heavy. My chicken was excellent as well so many mushrooms -which I love. The Cacio e Pepe special was fine but a little bland, it could have had more pepper and cheese. The kids loved the meatballs and they were accommodating with bringing out the favorite brownie sundae to the great joy of my niece. They also allow you to bring your own wine (or maybe it's byo not sure as I don't live here) which was nice to open up something special.

OK, so I revisited this establishment on a Wednesday evening, and true to my last review it was every bit as special as I remember to be. Perhaps because it was a weekday and the noise levels were acceptable, the service was excellent, and the clientele was very pleasant I loved the special pasta which was papa deli the beautiful chanterelle mushroom sauce, as well as the rack of lamb which was exceptionally prepared. Hence encourages to revisit but during the weekdays
