Focaccia's storefront windows open up and when the weather's pleasant there are several outdoor tables, this works well as the restaurant's set on a pretty West Village corner - perfect for dreamy street watching. The interior itself is simple and quaint with round, large, shiny, oven trays adorning the wall and wafts of flavors emitting from the open brick oven. I sat outside on a coolish evening. And how about the food? Maybe I'd ordered the wrong dish which was Salmon with grilled vegetables, don't get me wrong, it was perfectly fine but I could probably have cooked this meal at home myself. Maybe it's the pasta one goes for. My friend had the mixed seafood grill and the sauce was just ok, the grilled ingredients a little soggy and could've been better. I may return to try the pasta but skip the seafood and try down the street.
Pros: location, outdoor seating
Cons: average seafood

I'm not sure if it was the fact that I had to ask for water 4 times or the fact that they forgot our order and made us wait over an hour for a plate of pasta (or the fact that they kept telling us it was on the way out) that annoyed me the most. But, either way, I felt no remorse when leaving the waitress of tip of $0. Call me a self-loathing j*w in that I only tip 20 or 0% so as to reinforce the tip as reflective of the service received and not easily dismissed as my being cheap. In any case, this place has had it's day and is done. Service is slipping. Food is just ok. And, it's not air-conditioned. Go elsewhere.
Pros: Memories of when it was once good.
Cons: Food, Staff, No A/C, No Liquor License
