Folco’s Ristorante - Markham, Ontario

Today we visited Folcos for Mother’s Day. Jordan was serving us and we had such an amazing meal and service. His attention to detail was phenomenal. I appreciate that he repeated back the order to us as we had multiple adjustments made to the menu which he happily accommodated, ... he made it a wonderful time for us. I had such a good Mother’s Day because of him.we’ve come several other Times, but never received as good service as we did today with him. I hope management reads this and praises him as we will be back and that he is the one serving us. Read more

Had a wonderful dinner with Folco! We made sure that the cheese wheeel pasta special was available (note that this is only on Saturday! And there’s different pasta every weekend). The cheese wheel pasta was on the salty side - but the cheese flavour was amazing and very aromatic. We had cheese ... wheel pasta with prosciutto - cheeseeey and meaty. Fresh fettuccine are my go to! Had a nice texture! We also enjoyed the fettuccine carbonara - we liked this one a lot! It’s Smokey and very creamy. Appetizers are ok - we came here for the pasta. When I called to confirm my reservation and cheese wheel - the line didn’t go through — They don’t pick up the phone - so reserve online. Read more

Very cosy restaurant on Markham Main street. highlights of our meal included the cheese wheel pasta special with panko crusted chicken which was amazing. The Tiramisu was amazing. It was light soft and creamy. The lemoncello Tartuffo was also a hit. Some of our other ... dishes were tasty but not home runs. Service was friendly and servers came to full our wine and water on a regular basis. Restaurant is on the loud side. Overall very good and recommended. Read more

I took my gf here on saturday to celebrate her bday. When I was doing research, I found out that this was one of the only restaurants in the GTA serving tableside pasta in the cheese wheel. Calling in to the restaurant, I had been told that the chef usually does ... the cheese wheel pasta on saturday night so you can imagine my immense disappointment when I found out upon asking, that the chef was actually out of town on THIS particular saturday night when I wanted my gf to experience something special. Anyways, we were sat right away upon arrival and the servers hung our coats on hooks near the entrance (within visual range). We never actually got a designated server (idk if the hostess forgot about us or not) but throughout the night we took it upon ourselves to flag down a very young gentleman named Jordan who provided great service to us throughout the night. Seafood platter for 2: This was actually a lot of food. I was skeptical when we ordered it but it came with a ton of seafood which justified the near $40 price. The seafood was also cooked well. Everything was so tender. The calamari rings in particular. And the battering was light and crispy. We also really liked the fresh citrus dip on the side that the platter came with. Dipping the seafood really helped to cut back on the richness of the batter. Ravioli de maddalena: So this dish was actually a lil disappointing. It was supposed to be the signature pasta of the resto but aside from the nice flavour of the veal (which my gf didn't particularly enjoy either since she said it tasted like lamb), the pasta was too thick and the simple butter sauce didn't coat the noodles well enough. Fettuccine carbonara: We both unanimously agreed that my dish tasted superior. The sauce clung to the noodles way better. It was more rich and full bodied. The noodles were actually al dente and had better chew. The egg yolk on top was a nice added touch. Tiramisu: WOW. This dessert was a showstopper for sure. Most legit italian restos will have a really delicious, homemade tiramisu and this place was no exception. It was just as good as the tiramisu we had at Il Postino on Main St Unionville. Absolutely sublime. Would come back but only if I knew the chef was in the house that night making the tableside cheese wheel pasta! Read more

Food was okay, I got the carbonara which was a bit too salty for my liking. I didn’t realize the fried calamari would be almost doused in balsamic glaze, maybe would’ve preferred that on the side. The escargot were very smothered in cheese and believe were wrapped in prosciutto. The ... place itself was very home-y and small which gave it a very cozy vibe. There was a birthday celebration happening so I can’t really fault the servers for their lack of attention to our table. Overall it was a decent place for a cozy Sunday dinner. Read more
