About the Venue
Folietta is a modern Italian restaurant tucked into Vancouver’s Grandview-Woodland neighbourhood, inspired by “La Dolce Vita” and Mediterranean hospitality. Drawing from Italy’s diverse culinary regions, its seasonal menus blend traditional flavours with fresh West Coast ingredients. The name derived from “Foglietta”, rooted in the Italian word for foliage, Folietta embraces the lush, green charm of East Vancouver—offering a welcoming space with curated cocktails, regional wines, and a sunlit patio that celebrates the art of slowing down.
