This Italian restaurant is known as much for the people watching it offers through its large windows as for its food.

User Reviews for La Focaccia

1 Star Rating: Not Recommended

I've been here multiple times with foreign friends, and, while it isn't mentioned on the menu, or anywhere else. Automatically 'European" tables get a 20% tip added to the bill. I find this very rude, I am perfectly capable of determining a tip, and if the service was as bad as 3 days ago, it is not worth the 20%.

Cons: Service

3 Star Rating: Average

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
