Welcome to La Focaccia, Authentic Italian Bistro
The ‘La Focaccia’ Story
A Casual Experience of Great Italian Food!
Owner/Chef Giacomo Zarcone has over
20 years fine dining experience.
My love for food started with my moms cooking. I come from a small sea-port village, my grand father was a fisherman and the catch of the day was the only fish that reached our tables. My dad owed a bakery in town and my love for specialty breads took off once in my high teens.
My career in the restaurant business in the U.S. started in the Little Italy area of San Diego, where I soon became the main chef for a popular local restaurant. My knowledge of fish and breads of course played a huge role.

La Focaccia, Authentic Italian Bistro!
At one point I decided to go back to college, so I ventured to the dining room. My food knowledge, enthusiasm, and now education in the hospitality industry helped me move quickly through the ranks. I soon became the General Manager of ‘Tutto Mare’ (everything from the sea) in San Diego with a 400 seat capacity, a fine Italian sea food restaurant. Then Prego Ristorante, 350 seating capacity in Irvine CA. Now I had managerial experience, Italian cooking and fresh bread background. La Focaccia's concept is a culmination of my journey from the Mediterranean Sea to the most eclectic restaurants on the West Coast.
Focaccia is a soft and spongy flat bread, we named our dream ‘La Focaccia’ because we wanted to offer our guests great fresh baked bread for their paninis and with their meals. Our recipes derive from specialty dishes from throughout the Italian peninsula where we combine the freshest ingredients at moderate prices. We believed that Las Vegas needed a restaurant where you can have great food without putting a hole in your wallet.
