Amazing experience! Came here for my bf’s bday celebration, and they even made our menus customized in photo. Such a cute touch to make his bday feel more special. Food was incredible - Octopus, the Mushroom, and Tomato Bread were our fav dishes. Cocktails also unreal. The atmosphere was super nice, great vibes. Definitely want to come back to try their paellas!
Alva and the other young woman server/busser were friendly. Probably the first time anywhere ever that a server offered to take a photo of customers. Appreciated! Unfortunately, the $75 turbot was oversalted which completely eclipsed any possible charcoal flavour. The side kale contained some very bitter chunks of summer squash. I normally like bitter and sour flavours. I should have asked who was Chef in the kitchen last night. Sometimes chefs who smoke don't notice when things are too salty or not balanced. Both the polenta side and Basque cheesecake were tasty with unusual texture. I wasn't really a fan of the tomato bread texture. But the cocktail was lovely! My favourites were the octopus with blood sausage and the artichokes with onions and bell peppers. Even though the restaurant was not full, it got very loud. We're glad we arrived at opening time. We're glad we tried this neighbourhood restaurant, but we won't be returning.
Casa Paco's Paella Sundays are a delightful experience. The restaurant's paella is a true masterpiece, bursting with flavors and cooked to perfection. The generous portions ensure you leave satisfied, and the variety of ingredients cater to all tastes. The ambiance on Paella Sundays is lively, making it a great place for a family gathering or a casual meal with friends. The staff is friendly and attentive, adding to the overall positive dining experience. If you're a paella enthusiast, Casa Paco is a must-visit on Sundays!
Came on a Paella Sunday. Possibly the best in town. Comes with an appetizer platter, which was pretty good, but the paella was simply amazing. Loaded with seafood and only a thin layer of rice, so it was not overly stuffing and you are eating way more seafood than rice with each bite. The sauce further added depth to the flavor profile, really can't say anything bad about this wonderful meal. The dessert capped it off, the fruity sauce was good contrast to the cake.
I’ve eaten here multiple times and each time the food gets better, the service more polished, yet friendly and welcoming, and the space gets added touches to make at once feel like it’s been here forever and is fresh and new. Paella Sunday is a must! Dinner any other night they’re open is a feast of Spanish and Italian cooking at its finest applied to the freshest products. Go!!
Wow! We had one of the best meals ever in Toronto. The food was so tasty, fresh, wonderful and delicious. Service was brilliant. I loved the Dahlia cocktail. The porchetta was divine!
The most incredible meal I’ve had in a long time. Went for a private event and was blown away by the food, but also touched by how caring and dedicated the staff was. Highly recommend the paella, beef tartare, and literally anything their genius bar manager makes!Food: 5/5
Casa Paco is beaming with charming atmosphere and hospitality. Come in with an appetite to try as many tasty food and drinks as you can. The lovely folks at this restaurant are professional, courteous, and passionate about what they do. Thank you Ailbhe, Caroline, Tommy and Rob for a fabulous dining experience. Casa Paco is the best in the bizz!
A delightful restaurant that has the most delicious paella! Definitely go on Paella Sunday! But any night is great. Tommy at the bar makes the most delicious cocktails!Food: 5/5
When I see jamon iberico on the menu, it gets ordered. The thin slices of prized Spanish cured ham are all at once sweet, smoky, and savoury. Casa Paco points out that they serve the “pata negra” $38 variety of the ham, which indicates it’s produced with pure-bred Iberian pigs. Pedigree aside, it’s tasty and the plate contains plenty of slices to go around. The duck ragû gnocchi $26 showed promise with its sizeable portion – a lot heftier than my friend’s tendril of octopus – and intoxicating aroma. And while the sauce was hearty and delicious the shredded duck tender and flavourful, the actual gnocchi was overcooked and bordered on mushy. Perhaps its because the pasta was boiled and then also cooked in the sauce. If so, the chef either needs to boil the gnocchi less or consider pan frying it to form a crust, prior to finishing it within the ragû. A dessert is a must, and the coffee cardamom cheesecake $15 is highly recommended. Prepared crustless, the outer edges of the sweet takes on a Basque cheesecake quality so it’s caramelized and dense. Yet, at the centre there’s a lovely coffee cardamom sauce that gives it a lovely hit of cool sweetness that’s almost like a cold molten lava cake. A unique dessert indeed. I preferred the cheesecake to the brûléed lemon flan $11 where the sugar was overly toasted and started emitting a bitter taste. The sugar slight slip aside, the dollop of cool cream against the slightly warm flan was a nice touch. It wasn’t until after the dinner that I came across a Toronto Life article about Casa Paco. What makes it particularly unique is their four owners - Rob Bragagnolo, Caroline Chinery, Tommy Conrad, Ailbhe McMahon – are also the restaurant’s only staff, giving the establishment a mom and pop feel as customers will continually encounter the same faces. Maybe that’s why we found dining there so relaxing. We felt taken care of and loved hearing McMahon mention that several of the flora scattered throughout the restaurant was saved from a local resident who had too many at their home and forced by their landlord to dispose of them. If only I lived in Little Italy, I too would become a familiar face amongst Casa Paco.
