-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!
Incredible experience - fantastic food, wine and vibe.
Would have loved to try this place. I was running late and unfortunately they charged me a $120 no-show at 4:20 for a reservation at 4PM, so I never got to try it.
Lady on the phone told me all I need to know about what I assume would be terrible and entitled service here. Thanks for the dodged bullet!
If I could give something 7 stars I would. Everything, the food, atmosphere, drinks, and service was incredible. Simply wonderful.

Lovely restaurant, staff and or course the food
Might be the best dinner experience I’ve ever had in Toronto. Hard to get reservations for a reason! Highly recommend for a special occasion
Amazing! Casa Paco encompasses a cozy, charming atmosphere while delivering top notch Spanish cuisine. It was my first time having the traditional paella dish and I don't see myself having it anywhere else. Big shout out to Jay as well who is highly knowledgeable on all food ingredients, beverages and pairings of the two. Will definitely be coming back!
The atmosphere is fantastic! The restaurant only sits 20 people total per night, so it’s a really intimate vibe. The decor is great and feels like warm. The service was exceptional, everyone has a job and does it well.
The food was great, we didn’t have a thing that wasn’t too notch. The rabbit was my favorite and the variety of Amaro’s to sup post dinner.
We were the last ones in the restaurant and they didn’t rush us out.
One of the best experiences I’ve had in Toronto.
It’s been a while since I’ve had a dinner where I liked all the dishes. The service made me feel so comfortable. Incredible wine list.
