Italian, made from scratch

Handmade pastas. Stone-oven pizzas. A cellar seventy-six bins deep. Steps from Union Station, in the heart of Toronto's waterfront.

A house built by hand

Casa 73 began with a builder. Before he ever ran a dining room, owner Sonny Mahal spent his career crafting custom homes — so when it came time to build his own restaurant, he designed every inch of it himself, from the gilded walls to the chandeliers.

In the kitchen, Chef Antonio runs it the old way: pastas rolled in-house every morning, pizzas fired in the stone oven, desserts and gelato made fresh daily. Nothing arrives on a truck ready-made. Everything is from scratch.

"Who doesn't like Italian food?"
— Sonny, owner

The Room

Under the ruby tree

Gilded finishes. Ornate walls. Chandeliers that catch every glass raised beneath them — and over the bar, a ruby-hued flowering tree you'll be describing to friends the next day.

The dining room runs from intimate two-tops to one of the most elegant private dining rooms in Toronto — built for corporate dinners, celebrations, and nights that deserve a closed door.

Cocktails with an accent

House cocktails built on limoncello, Empress gin and fresh espresso — plus Sonny's Old Fashioned, named for the man himself. A zero-proof list keeps every seat at the table.

Game night?

We're a short walk from Scotiabank Arena, minutes from the Rogers Centre — the pre-game dinner that doesn't feel like one. In by 5:30, at your seats for puck drop.

Questions, answered

Are you close to Scotiabank Arena and the Rogers Centre?

Yes — 20 Bay Street is a short walk from Scotiabank Arena and Union Station, minutes from the Rogers Centre. Casa 73 is built for the refined pre-game dinner or pre-concert evening: arrive early, eat well, make puck drop — or first pitch.

Do you have a private dining room?

We do — one of the most elegant private dining rooms in Toronto, suited to corporate gatherings, celebrations and intimate events. Call us at (416) 799-7373 and we'll plan it with you.

Is Casa 73 a good spot for date night?

Dim lighting, a curated wine list, attentive service — we're regularly chosen for anniversaries and date nights in the downtown core. Ask for a table near the ruby tree.

What should we order on a first visit?

Guests rave about the handmade pastas — many call our gnocchi the best in Toronto — alongside fresh seafood and Certified Angus steaks. If you're hungry and among friends: the 48 oz tomahawk, served family style.

Can you host large groups?

Group dining is a specialty — family reunions, corporate team dinners, celebrations. Reserve on OpenTable or call and we'll arrange the table.
