I went here with my friends last night for a birthday and I feel straight up scammed. My friend chose this restaurant without looking at the cost, and when we showed up and I saw the price, we did not want to eat here, we are students, and we couldn't afford it. However when we told the wait staff, they told us that we had made the reservation and had to purchase food. I wish I had walked out, but I feel as though we were pressed to stay and spend the ridiculous price points. Not to mention how confusing the pricing on the menu was, where we thought we'd be splitting a collective $250 meal, we each had to pay $200 with an automatic 20% gratuity. All of this wouldn't have been as bad if we had actually been fed, but we were served such tiny proportions that by the end I was hungry and out $200. The wait staff were friendly but consistently pushing us to order more food on top of that. The wagyu steak also just tasted like normal steak, and everything else was very underwhelming. This is ridiculous, I wish I had walked out. I have never spent so much for so little. I feel as though we were pressured to stay and spend exorbitant amounts of money, as broke, young students. As much as this is also on my friend for not doing more research, no one should ever be forced to spend this much money and stay at a restaurant where they don't want to eat. I wish I could get a refund. If Caso Paco can remedy this and any way and would like to, I urge them to reach out to me. I tried to give zero stars, but Google's lowest option is one.

Food was decently good we went in with a group of 5 but the prices really did not match the food. I appreciated the artistic flavours and new creative ideas but to charge 200 per person for small portions and overpriced appetizers it was just not worth it. They made 1 grand off us, automatically added a 20% tip and you need to give credit card info when reserving in case you cancel. Honestly if you have money to burn and you’re rich sure this place would not hurt, but if you want to take your date on an impressive date on a budget this is not the place. We left still hungry.

This is my absolute favourite restaurant in Toronto. The food is authentic and fantastic and the service is phenomenal. Paella Sunday is a blast, and the wine list and mixed drinks pair perfectly.

-We visited this restaurant as a group of four and spent $220 per person. Considering my extensive travels in Spain and Italy, I can say that the food here is just average good, especially considering the price.
-The server was enthusiastic and friendly, but a bit pushy. We had planned to order the $100 per person set, but the server kept insisting that we go for the more expensive $135 set or order additional dishes, claiming that the standard menu wasn’t enough.
-We eventually go with the $135 set, but the server wouldn’t reveal what was included. They claimed it was a secret treat from the chef, but it turned out to be just two plates of octopus and two plates of tuna, which could have been ordered as additional courses. If we had ordered these dishes individually, it would have cost us an extra $100, but we ended up paying extra $140, which felt like a scam.
The atmosphere was pleasant, a little old house. It’s got the vibe, but it wasn’t exactly classy.
Overall, the experience was okay, but I wouldn’t recommend this restaurant.

The food is good, but not worth the $150 per person price tag.
Drinks: music for the empty room—fascinating, with multiple layers of flavor. Everything is blended so well, it’s a true masterpiece of creativity.
Starter: Tomato bread. Fresh and vibrant—the combination of flavors feels like a symphony playing in your mouth.
Main Course: Seafood paella. Portions were small, and it was way too salty—honestly, saltier than any other paella I’ve had at other places. The overwhelming saltiness ruins the entire seasoning; it completely takes over your palate. The waiter told me it is normal to be salty, but honestly it is way too much.

Casa Paco is a really cute restaurant that feels like you’re attending an eclectic friend’s dinner party. There are not many tables, and it is a really intimate space. The chefs are a husband and wife, and the staff is also very small with a couple of servers and bartender.
With all that said I was a bit underwhelmed with my meal. It was good, but there wasn’t any standout dishes for me. We also noticed that our server was a bit rude. She would spend a lot of time at other tables, explaining the dishes, and schmoozing, but then when she came to our table, she was short with us, and felt like she was doing the bare minimum.
We were there celebrating our birthdays, but the service soured the mood. Also for us to spend almost $300 each, I feel like the desert could have been compt… but I guess not everywhere cares if it’s your birthday or not.
It was overall an okay dining experience, and would make a great date night spot if you like Spanish cuisine, but for me there wasn’t anything I loved.
A fantastic night out with incredible food and atmosphere! What truly sets this place apart is the service. The staff is not only professional and knowledgeable but also warm and attentive, making you feel like a guest in their own home. Their attention to detail ensures that every aspect of your meal is nothing short of flawless. Would absolutely recommend.

Wow. So good. So good.
A meal that reminds me how grateful I am to be able to experience food like this.

Spanish cooking treated with reverence and humour. Cozy and sophisticated.

Owner-operator gold! A little Italy gem! The food and service are always exceptional, and the small, intimate setting makes each visit feel special. No notes!
