When choosing this location in 2005, we instantly fell in love with the charm and history that the building offered. Walking up the front steps you hear the creak of the original floor boards, and as you enter through the large Colonial doors you may find yourself twisting the old fashioned hand crank doorbell. Every detail of the building is historical, and every picture hanging on the wall gives you a glimpse of what life was like in the 1800’s.Along with our passion for keeping history alive, we also have an even greater passion for food. We only use the finest and freshest seasonal ingredients when crafting our dishes. Not only are we preserving the history of Liberty Corner, we are becoming part of the history too.Voted one of the Top 100 Al Fresco Dining Restaurants in the Country by OpenTable in 2015. Offering four separate dining rooms, you are sure to enjoy the atmosphere, along with your delicious meal. We look forward to being with you soon. We are a BYOB establishment.

    I cannot say enough about the wonderful experience our party had at Focacceria! Everyone (from the host to the waiter to the servers) went above and beyond with service! Food was delicious - our waiter gave us great recommendations on what to order. Can’t wait to return!

    We haven't been to FR in over three years. We decided to meet friends for a Sunday dinner, and FR was a half way point. We were all impressed with the service and the food. While all the entrees were wonderful, the Tuscan stew was the show stopper. All the shellfish was tender, not over cooked. Even the calamari rings, were tender and plentiful and the spicy zuppa was very flavorful. I was excited to see that the pistachio and black cherry gelato was still on the dessert menu, I had to get my fix. This flavor gelato is a must try when you visit this restaurant.
