Hosted a 10 person event this weekend and had the food catered by Folcos. Mario the owner was very helpful in developing a menu for us. Pick up was convenient and simple, and the food travelled very well. When it came time to serve, all of our party members loved the quality of the food.
Thanks again Folcos!

We had the whole restaurant to ourselves, as we booked the venue for a private party. The quaint atmosphere was well-suited for a
family affair, and the staff was great. We had a preset menu for our luncheon, which included antipasto, a pasta dish, main course, followed by salad (as Italians eat salad at the end)! The food overall was good, just not overall as good as it has potential to be.
The bruschetta was delicious as was the antipasto platter. We had a simple pasta dish of fettuccine in tomato sauce, and you can definitely tell that it was fresh and homemade; however, I found the pasta to be slightly more cooked than I prefer. If it was al dente, it would have been perfect.
Meanwhile, the green beans were a little undercooked and could have used an extra minute or two cooking. The chicken and veal were passable, but not memorable. A little detail that didn't go unnoticed was how the family-style big bowls of green salad (or at least the one at my end of the table) were not tossed thoroughly...my serving had no dressing.
I would still return though for an à la carte meal, as I'm sure that experience would be even better.
Very quiet and cute atmosphere. The waitresses were very helpful and extremely polite. The menu was phenomenal. I absolutely loved the Niagara Riesling I had. It was a peaceful place to enjoy a delicious meal however going on a Friday night it was busy and difficult to hold a conversation with your table mates. I would definitely recommend this restaurant for wonderful Italian food that my nonna would be proud to eat.
Excellent!!! Charming family run restaurant with amazing food which is all made from scratch , the Parm wheel is a treat ! Chef owner Mario is friendly and makes you feel at home , highly recommend

Exceptional Meal and Service!!. We dined at Folco's on July 18th, 2014 to celebrate our parent's birthdays - 6 adults from 40 to 81 and one well behaved 1 year old. The service was exceptional and the owner's could not have been more attentive to all of our needs - room for a high chair and stroller, one gluten free participant and allowing us to bring our own gluten free cake - which they gladly adorned with candles and served to us. The food was fantastic from start to finish - they have numerous specials derived from their recent trip to Italy so that along with the extensive menu made for tough decision making - but we were all VERY happy with our choices. The crusted lamb was superb - and both of us who ordered it received it cooked exactly as ordered - the wild mushroom ravioli and fettucine alfredo were to die for. Terrific tomato based sauce as well. From the first sip of 2 new cocktail choices (which we all sampled - apple and lemon - both were terrific), to the last bite we were all extremely happy with everything we were served. Great service, accomodating staff and friendly owners - this place is a 10 and I would highly recommend it. Thanks so much for a great celebration for our Mom and Dad - we will be back!!!! PS - can't wait to try the parmesan risotto made at the table at our Sept. gathering.
Homemade pasta and friendly service. This is our family's favourite Italian restaurant in Markham.
Food is very good and authentic. Parmesan risotto is on special menu right now, highly recommended!
Our new favourite place. The service was just great, the food was delicious. I ordered a salad and my partner ordered the Ala Vodka penne and was just in love with the dish. I wasn't hungry hence I got the salad. We definitely be back soon!!
Great Italian Food. We walked into Folco's on a whim on a Saturday night and got one of the last open tables. The atmosphere was homey and comfortable although it was pretty loud with a full house. Our server was new but very friendly and professional.
The food was delicious, everything made in house and it shows. The two of us ordered a pasta and a main and shared them at the table. We really appreciated the homemade bread with oil and vinegar. The mista salad was simple but good, the ricotta gnocchi was amazing and reminded me of a dish I had in Florence, and the pollo limone was cooked nicely and well seasoned. The chef stopped by at the end of the evening and was very polite and welcoming. I just moved to Markham and am happy to have found Folco's!
FANTASTIC!!!. Great food, fabulous service, knowledgeable staff - fantastic dinner. Thank you Folco's for a fantastic evening!
Great food and service. One of my favourite restaurants in Markham. The atmosphere is cozy, service always to expectations, and food is always fantastic. Their seafood platter for 2 is always perfectly cooked with plenty of garlic, lemon and greens, rack of lamb was perfectly done medium rare, and the tagliatelle bolognese was fantastic. After half finishing my wine I noticed a crust in the glass, the waitress was great about it, giving us an additional 1/2 litre for the trouble - perfect response.
A hidden gem. Folco's has a great combination of hearty meals and flavorful treats. I loved the ambiance and service as well. Definitely putting Folco's on the rotation.
Excellent food, nice cozy atmosphere. Best Itallian food in Markham.
Nice gem in Main Street!. So many times have I walked by this restaurant, it wasn't until a friend held their birthday gathering here that I've actually walked in. Its a nice, quaint, cozy restaurant. I hear that it is one of the few that are family run. The food was delicious!! I ordered a Penna a la vodka and by boyfriend had the seafood pasta. In terms of price, quite resonable in comparison to the relatively larger restaurants like il fornello
Great family restaurant. We really enjoy the cozy atmosphere and good food at a reasonable price. The wines are also reasonably priced - we love the Penny Lane Zin. Lots of great daily specials as well as regular menu items.
Folco's is an authentic Italian, family-run restaurant on Markham Main Street. They make their own pasta and sauces so it is very savoury and fresh. The lamb special of the day is very delicious!!

First time here and this place is amazing! The staff are friendly and informative (many of the words on the menu are unknown to us). They have a good selection of items on the touchless menu. It’s located in an old home built in 1890. The parking is on a gravel area in the back of the restaurant or there’s parking on the street.
The complementary bread is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Pre-sliced with butter, oil and vinegar provided. Just perfect.
We ordered:
RAVIOLI DI MADALENA $27
“slow roasted 8 hour veal roast, butter, sage, parmigiana this dish is very near and dear to our hearts. it was taught to us a by a wonderful woman by the name of madalena in piemonte, italy. she housed many of the chefs going to the local chef school in her home town of asti; one of them was mario folco.” Absolutely delicious with a good amount of veal stuffed in each mini ravioli. Meat was tender and juicy.
WILD MUSHROOM RAVIOLI $26
“house made ravioli, forest mushrooms, white truffle, parmigiana, crisped prosciutto, in a parmigiana cream sauce”. Never had mushroom ravioli before and this dish sets the bar. The ravioli is thin and flat so you don’t feel like all your eating is dough. Each ravioli has a good chunk of mushroom, the cream sauce paired with the crispy prosciutto complements the each other and elevates the dish as a whole. One of THE best ravioli dishes I’ve ever had.
FETTUCCINE CARBONARA $28
“house made fettuccine, smoked speck prosciutto, farm fresh egg, spinach, parmigiana cream sauce” Feedback from my son “Yummy, yummy, yum. Hee hee, delicious. Tummy feel good.”
Daily special Frie Roasted Pesto Salmon
With Amalfi lemon Spaghetti $36 “Awesome flavours. Can really taste the lemony pesto without it being over powering.
Pasion Fruit Bomba $12
Did not know what a bomba is so decided to give it a try. Such an incredible dessert. An explosion of passion fruit goodness. Would highly recommended trying this dessert.
Thank you for such a lovely family dinner. We will definitely be back.
interesting pizza flavours, though one of the pasta and fried salmon is a bit lemony. Good place, a hit on the pricier side, but that’s expected for this kind of dine in. Portions are a good size and has a nice atmosphere.
We enjoyed the food especially the carpaccio. The tables are a bit too close together and the lighting was too dim. Our server was polite and attentive.
This place is a little hidden gem. The staff is super friendly and inviting. The ambiance is a little dark. But I guess can be romantic too a bit dated thou. But the food. Is just fantastic. I have been twice already and will not be the last
I’ve loved this place for many years! Glad to see they continue to strive for high quality and unique dishes.
Overall prices are much higher, but it’s understandable.
Carbonara was outstanding!
Limoncello Spritz was good!
