What Focaccia is
Olive-oil flatbread with rosemary and coarse salt, sold by weight.
Focaccia is listed as a bakery item in the Italy guide, where the index tags it vegetarian and mild. Treat those labels as a menu translation rather than the full picture. Portion size, garnish and cooking method change from one counter to the next, and so does the price.
