Went to Folco's Ristorante last night. It's so hard to find when it's dark...

So, we ordered 3 starters..
Fresh mussels $12.95 - steamed with garlic, tomatoes, finished with a little hint of spice.
- The mussels are sooo fresh and fat fat. They steamed them just right, perfect =)

Bruschetta platter $8.95 - freshly chopped tomatoes with fresh basil, extra virgin olive oil served with garlic bread.
- The tomatoes are so fresh! I took the garlic bread and put some tomatoes on top of it. When I picked up my garlic bread, I can totally smell the fresh tomato! It's so fresh and sweet =D and the garlic bread is crispy!

Carpaccio $14.95 - paper thin beef tenderloin slices topped with baby capers and extra virgin olive oil served with shaved regiano parmigiano and topped with balsamie glaze
- SERIOUSLY, they are thin as paper. It's hard to pick it up because of it's thinness! Wah i'm so impressed! =O
- The sauce and the beef tenderloin slices are good together, yummy!

Here comes the 2 main dishes..
Ricotta Gnocchi $19.95 - homemade ricotta dumplings served with forest mushrooms, tomatoes, spinach and prosciutto in a white wine aglio olio
- I didn't really like it haha. It doesn't taste bad, the sauce is good. I just didn't like the ricotta dumpling, it's texture, it's taste..it's like a plain raw dough with nothing inside, just not my dish.

Veal Masala $25.95 - veal scaloppini topped with a Marsala mushroom sauce (served with spaghetti aglio olio)
- was going to order the lamb chop but decided to try this first and have the lamb chop next time I revisit.
- the sauce was so good!
- the veal was so thin and tender
- LOVE the spaghetti, I love how there's a bit of garlic taste. It's so yummy! =)

Overall,
Environment:
- A very romantic place haha, the lights are so dim (i would say the place is DARK haha)
- lovely place! It's well decorated

Service:
- Our server is nice and friendly, she was telling us there is special dishes for valentine's night and she would explain every dishes to us

Food:
- The food was amazing, the tomato, the mussels... they are sooo fresh!
- The waiting time wasn't so long, probably 20 minutes later, the starters came.
- The lamb chop is a special (I didn't order it this time, will try it next time I revisit), so you should call before you go to see if they have lamb chop that night.
