La Focaccia

Experience up front- One Star Dining Service once seated - Five Star Food - Four Star Overall 3.5 Stars. Decided to try this as the wife's pick for her birthday- first timers. We had a confirmed reservation at 7:45p and checked in at 7:40p. There were a few chairs in the entrance area, of which one was open so my wife sat and held our 2 yr old. 20 minutes in, a staff member arrives and simply asks her to vacate the chair as they needed it. So you take the one chair with the woman and a toddler- classy. The other individuals seated next to her were also appalled and so kindly stood up themselves offering my wife their seats. A 40 minute wait ensued despite a confirmed reservation. The attendant said it gets busy once it hits 7:30- I get that and that is a great sign for business, but w

La Focaccia is an excellent Italian restaurant in Summit and the perfect spot for a cozy, romantic date night. My fiancée and I celebrated New Year’s Eve 2026 here, and it couldn’t have been a better choice. It’s a family-owned gem with a relaxed, welcoming vibe. The staff were incredibly friendly, attentive, and patient—making us feel taken care of from the moment we walked in. They started us off with complimentary fresh bread, served with garlic and olive oil that was absolutely amazing—honestly, some of the best olive oil I’ve had outside of Barcelona or Rome. For appetizers, we ordered the goat cheese salad, which was beautifully balanced with warm walnuts, arugula, and creamy goat cheese simple, fresh, and perfect. For our mains, we had the gnocchi and the black spaghetti with seafoo

We went last Friday, respectfully we showed up before our 8pm reservation and were told it would be 10-15mins. After 25 mins we asked how much longer and were told another 5-10 mins as people were paying there checks. After being told people were lingering and should only be another 5-10 mins, it was near 9pm and they wasted an hour of our time, we had enough and ran to another restaurant to eat. Terrible management in this place, somebody should have proactively had a conversation with us and apologized and told tables they needed to leave as they had reservations waiting for an hour already. Although we had been going here for a while and it was a good place, they have absolutely no care for their customers or how to manage reservations and we will never go back, you lost us as patrons.

I visited this restaurant in hopes of trying a new restaurant and finding a new favorite. I didn’t have the most pleasant experience. The appetizers were good, chose the burrata and crab meat. I did not like the gnochi, as it was too salted and I didn’t enjoy the sauce. The steak was average and not up to the cost. The tiramisu was also underwhelming, as it was mostly cream. It was really loud inside the restaurant, which made it hard to have a conversation and to hear the staff. I also felt they could have been friendlier. Overall I would not go back.

Went to this restaurant for the 1st time for my girlfriend's birthday and it was excellent! The only reason i gave it 4 stars and not 5 was because when I asked them if I could get my chicken parm dinner with vodka sauce (willing to pay extra) instead of marinara sauce, I was told "NO". I asked if they had vodka sauce and the waiter replied "yes".... I really dont feel not willing to accommodate a different sauce is worth the potential of losing future business from a customer. I get this all the time at other Italian restaurants this the first time a restaurant said no. Other than not accommodating, everything was perfect.
