| - This restaurant is local to me. I had been a few times, many years ago but hadn't been back until this past week. See, my husband doesn't like pasta (what???), so he always dismisses this option.
I visited on a Tuesday evening with my mother, who does like pasta. Certainly there are other options on the menu, but IMO, the real draw to Folco's is the pasta. Hand made in house and dressed with simple and tasty ingredients.
We ordered bruschetta and meatballs to start. The bruschetta is nothing to write home about: good but not mind-blowing. The meatballs were delicious and the sauce was excellent. One complaint was that the sauce was cold within a minute or two. Would have been better if the sauce was piping hot and the plate warmed.
My mom ordered the panko tilapia feature, which was served with spaghetti aglio e olio. She found it delicious. I ordered the fettucini alfredo which was INSANELY good. The pasta was just so perfect and the sauce was decadent and smooth. No curdling and it had plenty of flavour.
All in all, I would like to return again soon. The service was friendly, the space is quaint, I definitely recommend. Markham really only has a few gems, and this is indeed one of them.
