With the pandemic restrictions, Folco's had service on a covered patio, with heaters!
We enjoyed a lovely bot of red and shared a calamari fritte.
She ordered one of the fabulous pasta dishes, while I stayed with the apps and chose a delicious, perfectly prepared and plated beef carpaccio.
Friendly and attentive service.
We've been back twice since and plan to return again!

My wife and I, took her father out for an early Father's Day dinner and went to Folco's on June 15th 2022. What a beautiful restaurant. We were seated at a comfortable booth by a window. Our server was Angela who was excellent!
We ordered 3 Vitello Marsala dinners and an order of Spaghetti & Meatballs and a bottle of Chianti wine.
The food was superb and so tasty and excellently cooked.
2 thumbs up for Folco's Ristorante.

Had an absolutely wonderful dinner with great friends at Folco's Ristorante tonight. Starting withthe fresh bruschetta appetizer and rack of lamb with mushroom ravioli for dinner. Best dinner of my life. The lamb was tender and full of flavour and the pairing with the mushroom ravioli was a fantastic combination. Lovely red wine from the almafi region of Italy. A culinary delight!

We were very disappointed! Ordered CALAMARI FRITTE $19, CAESAR $17, Mattys Meat Lover pizza $25 the cheapest wine was $56 ? Ordered Sparkling water $.7.25
Food come fast, Clamary was cold and chewy, Caesar was ok, disappointment was the pizza !!! All the ingredients were in the middle not evenly placed on the Pizza Dough look like someone drop it, no testy ingredients, also the dough was Chewy. Disappointed!!!
Ambience was ok, sometimes very laud,
We tried and we will not go back.

we went there on a recommendation of a friend who loved their salads - and thats about all i can say i enjoyed. the food was dry and tasteless especially the seafood. the service was mediocre the ambiance was non existent as we sat on the patio on wobbly plastic tables and chairs. do not order the bruschetta either its just watery tomato dices. in other words you are better off having italian food at a franchise like scaddabush than this "hand made" "authentic" italian restaurant,

been there three times and keep saying that it will get better...no such luck. Falcos is not an Italian restaurant just because it serves overprices pasta dishes. Tried the fettucine carbonara, the cream sauce was watery, the "fresh" pasta was undercooked and the portion for $29.00 was more a lunch portion. They don't have any Italian beer and the place is noisy. I do not think this location deserves the accolades at least not from my experience.

I had high hopes for Folco's in Markham. I am very fond of Italian cuisine and was looking forward to a satisfying meal. I only ordered the mussels in white wine sauce and was eager to chow down on one of my favourite seafood dishes. It came to the table at room temperature, and there was something quite astringent in the vegetables that were in the broth. I couldn't finish it, and there was an unpleasant taste in my mouth for some hours afterwards. Also, I had brought a very special Italian wine (a 1921 Ornellaia) but was told that the restaurant didn't allow patrons to bring their own wine - even if a corkage fee was charged. I'll know better next time . . . . .

Poorest Service ever when the place is full of people. Would have given another star if the food came out hot. Service was at its worst ever. No one came to offer water or provide a greeting when we were seated. We had to flag down someone to place our order after sitting for 15 minutes. The person was not even our server. We still do not know who our server was as not one person came to introduce or offer their service.
You would expect an overall good experience for the price they charge per dish in Markham! Disappointed as I've been coming since the place opened. Used to be very good service and food would come out piping out. Our pasta dish came out luke warm.
They have a nice patio, again, do not book during height of their service for the food would be cold with no service.

Enjoyed pasta dishes with friends here. Very packed the night we went so reservations are key on weekend. Winter salad opening was very good, creative, balanced and fine starter. Penne Vodka was decent with slightly too much sauce but a minor complaint. Gelato dessert was also fine. Noisy at times but hey we are all happy to be back right? Service was a but slow and sometimes forgetful but servers were also swamped due to full restaurant. Heated patio not tried but looked great. A cozy, fun, established place well worth trying.

Had dinner at this charming restaurant on Markham's Main Street tonight. The atmosphere is so welcoming and the staff are exceptional and friendly. The food was incredible! We had a Matty's Meat Lover Pizza and a Positano Pizza. The ingredients were so fresh and the pizzas were absolutely perfect. We couldn't help but also have dessert. The Limoncello Tartufo was exquisite and the Chocolate Fudge Cake is sinfully delicious. Overall an incredible night out!!!

This restaurant is situated on Main St Markham and is the best Italian home cooked food I have ever eaten.
The restaurant is family owned/operated and provides excellent service along with variety of choices for all.
The pasta is always home made and if you choose the right day, chef Mario is available to cook a tableside dish from a cheese wheel that will keep you smiling for days!
This is the favourite restaurant for all members of my family and many friends that we recommend this place to.
Enjoy the experience in a beautiful heritage home. You will not be disappointed

Excellent place to eat good, have a nice cup of wine, delicious dessert and amazing service!!! The place is small so it’s good idea to make a reservation before going if planned to go at lunch or dinner time. Will definitely go again!

What a wonderful experience!
The staff are pleasant and warm. They welcomed everyone with so much respect and with their friendly spirit.
The minute we walked in to the restaurant, Ms. Juli and Ms. Angie welcomed us and seated us at our table. Our wonderful waiter, Mr. Stefan was very very helpful and cheerful. He helped us to chose a very good bottle of red wine and our main course.
The head chef, “the owner” of Folco’s, greeted us at our table with a friendly smile and a great conversation.
Overall, I highly recommend this beautiful restaurant for excellent authentic Italian food.

We did not call in advance and were surprised at how busy the place was given Covid. But we did not wait long at all, and they found us a patio table that worked. Service was fast enough considering the traffic, and servers were friendly. Kale pizza was a big serving, memorable, the flavour beat my expectation.

Good welcome, quiet corner and good food. Service was prompt and friendly. The atmosphere was pleasant and not too noisy. A bit pricey but food and wine were good. Central location in Markham with private parking spots.
