Marca Trattoria In Markham

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.

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
