Intrigued that Casa Paco was endorsed twice in the recent
Intrigued that Casa Paco was endorsed twice in the recent Toronto Star article that interviewed 11 of Toronto's Michelin star chefs for their go-to spot to dine, I decided to visit for Paella Sunday. For the two of us, we ordered the Seafood Paella Set Menu and the Grilled Short Rib Steak. The good = The star of the night was definitely the paella. Every component of it was rich, smoky, and delicious. Generous and tender pieces of charred octopus and squid embedded in a flavourful seafood-infused rice, topped with juicy shrimp, mussels, and dollops of saffron aoili - it was an excellent dish! I was just a little sad that our mussels were on the smaller-side while the table next to us, who were well-acquainted with the chef, received the extra large and plump ones. The bad = Service was rather slow as it appeared that only one waitress was managing all of the tables. I had to ask for the finished paella pan to be taken away to make room for the short rib steak (our table for two was quite small) and it took some time for the machine to be brought over after our credit card was sitting out on the table. The coat check is a bit lackluster as they place them randomly on shared hooks spread throughout the restaurant. I watched one employee drop my jacket as he went to hang up someone elses'. The in-between = The starters of the Paella Set Menu were nothing to write home about. The flavour of the homemade tomato bread was tasty but the bread was more like a crostini and far too crispy for my liking. Additional slices would've also been appreciated as there was a generous amount of sheep's cheese that I wish I could've finished. The kale and cauliflower were charred well but way too salt-forward. Finally, the grilled short rib steak delivered as a piece of meat but was unfortunately uninspiring with no sauces or accompaniments. I wouldn't order this again. Overall, I enjoyed the paella enough to return just for it but I can't particularly say that I had a noteworthy experience with anything else.

We were looking forward to our reservation booked 3 weeks in advance. The restaurant is very cozy and the dining room is quaint and beautiful, the vibe is there and the service is great. When it comes to the food, unfortunately it didn't quite meet our expectations. The steak was tender after being braised overnight but the flavor was average, as you can see from the photo there is no sauce at all so it was a bit plain. The potato calamari mash underneath the octopus was pretty good. The third dish we ordered was a medley of mushrooms, had they served that with the steak at the same time, I think our experience would have been better. It was brought out as an appetizer first and the texture was one dimensional, the dish was all mushrooms.

Will likely be a 1 star Michelin restaurant. Food is delicious and the service is attentive. Had the following: Tomato bread & olives with boquerones and Iberico - delicious. The boquerones and iberico were plentiful. Probably needed to add another round of bread Steak tartare- their take on tartare is basically a blue steak. Delicious and different. Lobster pasticcio- cheesy and heavy Squid ink rice - delicious Porchetta - phenomenal. And large portion. Ganbarra mushrooms - very flavourful.

Just stumbled upon this place last night, sat for a drink and we had three and still we didn't want to leave! Beautiful place with a cute little patio. Delicious cocktails and such lovely people working there. It's become my new favourite place to go to for drinks.

.. Casa Paco's kitchen produces dishes that are, for the most part, astounding--both for the quality of ingredients and for the unpredictable twists Bragagnolo gives them. One that still dominates my thoughts is the bruléed chicken liver paté ($21) with seasonal crudité and grilled house bread. It's essentially what it sounds like--a creamy pate that's disguised as a crème brulée. The glass-like torched topping cracks like a sheet of ice when hit and reveals a silky paté. Throughout our meal, the rhythm of service is perfectly timed and we never feel rushed. I appreciate the attention to detail in every aspect--from the ambiance to the guest experience and, of course, the food.

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.
