Casa Paco Restaurant in The Vale of Glamorgan

We have been visiting the Casa Paco restaurant for a few years. Each meal is better than the last and we’re always made to feel welcome. The meals are consistently high standard, I can’t wait to go again. We had many deliveries in lockdown and they were always piping hot and fresh. Karen and the team are wonderful hosts and cannot do enough for us. My favourite it the fillet steak and Rossini sauce - highly recommend!

We had a last minute family decision to eat out and decided to try the Casa Paco. The last time I ate there was over 10 years ago and to be honest not much has changed... the menu was as I remembered it and the food was fantastic!!!!. The service was very polite and professional and the hot plates wiped before dinner was something of the past or from a top end restaurant. The starters and main were generous in size and the quality was superb 👌. I will definitely not wait another 10 years before I go again.. Thank you CP

Myself and 2 friends went for a meal last night at this local restaurant. The staff were extremely friendly and professional. The food was of a high standard, we all cleared our plates. 2 of us opted for fish and one steak - we each had a dessert. We felt the price was good for such lovely food and comfortable surroundings. I’ve rebooked for me and my husband, and 2 friends next weekend.

Visited here on a packed Barry weekend and they managed to squeeze us in. Very welcoming staff and good old fashioned service. Tasty food though not very Italian. Would definitely recommend though check menu prices against the 2 course menu!

I can strongly recommend this place, food is amazing and always delicious. Staff are very friendly. Please support this small restaurant as they always go the extra mile. You will not be disappointed

We visited Casa Paco today for the first time and what an outstanding service we received. Our meals were absolutely beautiful. Myself, my husband and both children opted for Roast Lamb and all the trimmings. Cannot find a single fault. All food was absolutely divine. Highly recommend visiting here for food and we will definitely be coming again! Thankyou for the wonderful food and amazing service. The restaurant was lovely and clean with music playing lightly in the background also the toilets were immaculate. Huge Thankyou to the staff for being so kind and gracious especially with our children.

First time here in a while but staff always make you feel so welcome. We were celebrating my mum's 80th birthday and I had dropped a cake and decorations there prior to arriving. The table was laid fantastically and the staff were so attentive. The food, as always, was exceptional, nothing too much trouble, and I'm glad to say not too filling so I had room for dessert. The best steak I've ever had and the cauliflower cheese is to die for!

What a lovely meal! Lamb roast potatoes carrots parsnip & onions, broccoli,peas,cauliflower cheese &Yorkshire. Lamb jus and gravy. Scrumptious!! Ape crumble & cream for later!!! I would recommend Caso Paco for their Sunday lunch delivered!! Very reasonable cost too. Thank you

A group of 8 family and friends went to Casa Paco to celebrate my daughters Uni graduation. From the outside I was worried about what the experience was going to be like! We found a true Welsh welcome, a warm and inviting interior, excellent , friendly and professional staff and the food was incredible! We were looked after from start to finish , they even allowed us to decorate our table with balloons and confetti. We had a superb evening, this place is a true hidden gem! It didn’t cost the earth and was excellent value for money. Thank you all for looking after us and compliments to the chef from us all, I look forward to visiting again!

Wonderful food and service all 8 of us had a fabulous evening thanks all. Large portions and nothing was to much trouble

Went to Casa Paco for my husband’s birthday and anniversary and well just wow. The food is excellent, the staff and the while experience was lovely. We haven’t been here for a while due to obvious reasons but all I can say is we will definitely be going again soon. Karen and her team make you feel so welcome ..... thank you Paula & Donavan Nelson

Fabulous food, great service and very good value for money, will definitely go again,there was no problem hearing each other (no irritating loud music )

I last went to the Casa Paco on a work Christmas do in the 1980s. Last week I returned and realised I had been missing out. All the meals ordered by our group of four were very good - great quality and generous portions. The silver service with impeccable and the staff friendly, efficient and accommodating. A very good, unpretentious, local restaurant concentrating on doing the things it does best, and doing them extremely well. I will return - and this time it will not take 40 years

We were fitted in at short notice, a party of 8 with one vegetarian. The food and service was welcoming and amazing. Thank you Casa Paco in Barry, we had a brilliant evening!

Highly recommended, lovely people , great food and very good value. Would definitely return. Popular family restaurant with takeaway option too.

The best food in Barry and the service is also great with attentive staff. The meals are always very tasty and filling for a reasonable price. The atmosphere is also quite nice.

Haven’t been here in a long time and didn’t know what to expect. Amazing… excellent service and beautiful food and a lovely atmosphere. Price.. fantastic value for money. I will return!

Ordered for the first time this evening and had the couples tapas for 2, and boy I wasn't disappointed, food stunning and fresh, sauces were beautiful acomplements, there was absolutely nothing to not like about any of the dishes, highly recommended, can't wait for my next order, thank you

We have had a number of takeaways from Casa Paco over lockdown. Service is amazing, everyone is so friendly. The food is delicious and has always arrived hot. Highly recommend and can't wait to visit once lockdown is over.

During lockdown ordered selection of Tapas.Owner was very helpful when we placed order, advising we had selected enough dishes .Food was delivered promptly and was packaged well.All dishes were fresh and full of flavour.Can’t wait to visit there when lockdown is over.In the meantime,looking forward to sampling their Sunday lunch which comes highly recommended.

Excellent take away for Valentines Day, well cooked , presented and delivered on time. Lovely touch to have the rose petals and candles also the balloon, chocolates and prosecco. We throughly enjoyed the whole meal. Would recommend to anybody.

Ordered a delivery for my dads birthday during lockdown , never been here before was recommended by a friend. The staff were lovely , the food was packed well , and tasted out of this world (so my mum and dad said ) really happy with the service, and the food . I can’t wait to book a table and try it myself one day . Many thanks for making my Dads lockdown birthday a nice one x

Had a 3 course meal for 2 delivery last night and it was absolutely gorgeous. The way it was packaged was fantastic, everything labelled and easy to see what was what. There was plenty of food and it tasted amazing, just the same attention to detail as if we were dining in. Also easy to order, I ordered by email and was replied to promptly. Friendly staff. Strongly recommend!

Opted for the home delivery service. It was well worth it! Everything was packaged really well, most of the packaging was recyclable. Food was hot and as delicious as I was expecting. Never had a bad meal when dining in and would recommend home delivery too. Thank you.

First class experience last night. Excellent food, excellent service . Great value for money . Many thanks Nick & Gina

Upon arrival the staff were friendly and throughout our visit the service was at a high standard, the food was amazing will definitely be booking again.

Although the outside of the restaurant did not look very inviting, the great food and attentive service was amazing. We went as a family and nothing was too much trouble, the food was fresh and so tasty. A definitate visit if we come back to Barry again.

Casa Paco have diversified during the COVID-19 pandemic to provide take away meals.The food is of the same high quality with generous portions and the packaging is excellent.Ordering and paying in advance by phone makes things easy and the collection system works well to keep everyone safe.It’s excellent value for money too.

We had an excellent meal for 8 people last night after celebrating Ascot at home in lockdown 🥳 starters and main all hot and delicious along with honeycomb cheesecake Thank you Karen for making the whole process so easy. We will be back!

Despite the Covid-19 lockdown we wanted something special for our wedding anniversary.We both ordered prawn cocktail and Pork Tenderloin cooked in Marsala wine, onions and mushroom served with rice.A lot of thought and effort had been put into not only the food but the packaging.The prawn cocktail comprised not only of the necessary but Melba toast and butter curls.The pork came with a goof amount of sauce, potatoes and peas all of which was in a separate compartment in the packaging. Also included was 2 portions of cauliflower cheese.Overall it was a superb meal which we both enjoyed enormously and will definitely order again

First time we have been back to this restaurant for quite some years. We have not returned for some time as we were informed that the previous owners had sold up.When we phoned we were amazef that Karen the previous owner answered the phone and recognised my wifes voice straight away.We went for our meal and the standard of food and service were still of the highest quality.We and our two friends had fillet and porterhoude steaks cooked to perfection and along with the pepper and medira sauces went down a treat.I can say without a doubt that we will be back soon .Highly recommended but make sure you book

Returned here after 35 years - hadn’t changed much which is probably because the management was the same. Brilliant family dinner, excellent service and high quality food. The prices were good value and the portions generous. Go for the whitebait and sirloin steak....

Brilliant food with silver service.Excellent all round experience and hospitality. Would highly recommend.

Not very large so advisable to book as it does fill up at popular times. A family owned restaurant with a good choice of Italian food. Pleasant staff and good food.

What a marvellous place. Great food. Great staff and great service. The menu is a blast from the past but this is Casa Paco’s charm. The portions are generous and VERY tasty. Loved my visit and will definitely return

The menu has been the same for as long as I can remember and the food is still absolutely stunning. The 3 course set menu is fantastic value for money, the price doesn't seem to have gone up much over the years even though it must cost a lot more to obtain the produce.We had deep fried brie, garlic mushrooms and prawn cocktail to start and was enjoyed by everyone. Along with the fresh tiger bread and Melba toast and real butter..... Mmmmmmmmmmm!For mains we all had steak, 2 of us paid the extra £6 for fillet and all 3 steaks were delicious and melted in the mouth. They were served with the usual (and amazing!) Cauliflower cheese, peas and sauté potatoes.I had lemon roulade and my friends had chocolate fudge cake and strawberry cheesecake, again all were absolutely delicious!We'll definitely be visiting again!!!

Have been visiting the Casa Paco for over 30 years. Always a great personal welcome and the food never lets you down. 5 stars!!

Always Amazing, there is a cosy atmosphere in this restaurant I have patronised it for many years. I love the food , the French Onion soup and the Stark Au Poirve are amazing The chocolate fudge cake is to die for. Staff are always welcoming and it being family run it gives the friendly service but is professional to a tee when serving the food. 11/11/10 every time

I've been going to this family owned restaurant for over 45 years! My parents first took me there as a teenager with their grown up friends. It was the first time I tried veal. My mother ordered for me and I had no idea what I was eating! Luckily I enjoyed it and have been going there ever since with family and friends and have organised meals out with work colleagues. It's still up there as one of my favourite restaurants. The food is always stunning and plentiful.

Visited in Separate and had the “fixed two course” menu.

We have been visiting the Casa Paco restaurant for a few years. Each meal is better than the last and we’re always made to feel welcome. The meals are consistently high standard, I can’t wait to go again.

We visited Casa Paco with friends following a recommendation. We were delighted with the quality of food and the service. You will not go hungry in this restaurant as the portion sizes were very good and the menu choice, if a little outdated, was also very good. Good value for money and I would go again.

Overnight stay before a funeral left us looking for somewhere special to eat.

Great food and pleasant atmosphere on my son’s 50th birthday. Hope to return on my 80th birthday next year!

We went to Casa Pavo on the last evening of our holiday and I have to say it was one of the best meals out we have had.

Cancelled bookings on us 2 days running saying the chefs mother had been rushed into hospital an hour before, when I told them I was told the same story the day before I was basically called a liar! Decided to give them 1 more chance until and then was asked if they could ring me on the day of the booking as if they weren’t busy enough they wouldn’t bother opening!! I declined and tried the little olive across the road from them and found the food was a million times better so thanks casa paco for pushing us in the right direction!

I’ve gone here often for treats such as birthdays and what not. And the food is consistently brilliant. I don’t mind the decor and the staff are ever so friendly and nice atmosphere prevails. The steaks are always brilliant and I love how your main course is built up in front of you adding a bit of theatre to the meal. I also love the French onion soup which I have every-time and it’s always delicious and never get boring

OK from entry you can sense the friendly atmosphere , people sit in the waiting area whilst table is freshened up or prepared . Great chance to sink a few drinks or have a formal chat until you're seated .

Yet again, amazing food, service and value, second to none! Would 100% recommend. Owner is very friendly and goes out of his way to ensure customer satisfaction

Husband and I recently visited for dinner. We felt very rushed while sitting at the bar area on arrival to choose our meal choice. They do not serve Prosecco be the glass and a bottle is £23 which is very expensive as I recently bought a bottle in a local shop for £7 and they both tasted the same.

Had a fantastic meal here in Barry. Great value and friendly staff. Opted for the garlic mushrooms and chicken in white wine sauce. Very tasty and good portions. Definetly recommend

My husband and I came here for a lovely meal as a couple and we thoroughly enjoyed it. The food was delicious and the staff were so friendly we will definitely be coming here again can’t wait x x

Wonderful restaurant, great service, great food, nice atmosphere even if decor a little dated but don't let that influence your decision to visit this lovely restaurant. The food is plentiful and beautifully prepared and served.

Staff attitude appalling last night, my guest given wrong steaks another’s hand burned by server. To say I was disappointed was an understatement as I’ve eaten in this restaurant many times over the years. However last night when I had friends with me who had never eaten there before, they we underwhelmed as the staters were Luke warm and the no one got the steaks cooked how they’d asked and the attitude from the gentleman serving was “that’s how it is” if the party was to big for them to cope with then they should’ve taken the booking.

A small party of girls went for a meal. I have been several time, it never disappoints, fantastic food every time, service always professional & efficient. Highly recommend. The only down side is the decor is a bit dated, but who cares the food is excellent. Love love love going there.

Small intimate restaurant. Friendly super efficient staff. They offer a two course midweek special, £34.95 for two people Lots of choice and the food was delicious. Definitely worth a visit!

Been here many many times we have never been disappointed ,excellent service ,friendly staff .good atmosphere all round.

We were taken for a beautiful meal here on our wedding anniversary by our amazing in-laws,

Nineof us went for lunchon the 20th December, only two if us chose the traditional Turkey dinner and it was fabulous. .sadly others in the party did not have the same experience, the chicken dish that should have been served with rice, when asked where the rice was, a message from the kitchen sai there wasnt any!! Those who had ordered steak were surprised to find that they were expected to have the same veg as the Turkey diners, which consisted of sprouts, carrots etc, hardly complimentary to steak!! The vote is that we won't be rebooking for next year. A real pity because my meal was gorgeous.

Very disappointed the Xmas dinner was not good . The starters were nice but the main course was awful the beef was swimming in blood and the turkey was strong tasting not like a fresh turkey should taste . The vege were also rock hard not nice . Desserts were as if they came off Asda shelf and for £89 a head felt totally ripped off. Most of food was left on plates . Never go for Xmas lunch there again . I will say that it did not reflect the high standard of food that is usually served overall a very disappointing visit

Food,atmosphere and ambience,they have it all,limited menu on our visit,as Xmas menu is in full flow,but still favourites on hand and plenty to suit the the most discerning diner.Family run restaurant and even though full, ticked over like clockwork.Always a good place to eat,booking before hand is most certainly recommended as it is sometimes difficult to get a table.We left, a lot plumper than when we went in,thanks to the generous portions.

We were out for an early Christmas meal with friends and it was just glorious! We had 4 different starters, 4 different mains (3 steaks and sole) , 4 desserts, wine, beer and 2 Brandys. When the bill came we were all surprised at how reasonable it was. Lovely service, great company and would highly recommend if you’re looking for proper food, well served with other bars nearby if you either want an aperitif or a drink post eating. We’ll be back. Thanks to Lyndon, Karen and all the staff.

But each time they took my details and couldn't be bothered to ring me back. As s result, going elsewhere. So rude and shortsighted as they've lost my custom.

Fantastic food and excellent service. We had prawns to start then the steak tournedos. The best steak I have ever tasted. Great value. We look forward to our next visit.

Absolutely delicious meal, staff very welcoming. Hidden away in Barry for many years deserves a certificate of excellence for a perfect porthouse. See pics

Lovely restaurant, run by a very nice family,first class service and fantastic food and atmosphere. Glad we stumbled onto this one 5 stars

The food was very good and the service the same. Expensive, is a relative and subjective thing; we got full value for our money (wine, fantastic steak and dessert) for around 50£ for 2 people.

We visited on a Wednesday night & the place was packed.

Steak tender n delicious- and all other guests delighted with their choice also- had a’crooner’ To help us into the spirit of the evening,, will return again soon🎉

Lovely people running this place, despite lots of food allergies, nothing was too much trouble. Great service, great food. Thank you.

This was my second visit to Casa Paco and feel this visit solidified rating the restaurant as so.

Great customer service, very attentive, tasty food, big portions so you're not left feeling hungry. Great evening had by me and my fiancee. Will definitely be back.

This is a restaurant that has the pleasure to please old , young or average

Wow what a lovely night, turned up early on a Thursday night (05/04/17) without a booking and the owners father squeezed us in, if you want to enjoy what the Casa Paco has to offer make a booking.

Amazing food and staff. Would advise all to go for a truly wonderful evening! There stake is brilliant and cooked to perfection and the restaurant has a wonderful vibe

I’ve gone here often for treats such as birthdays and what not. And the food is consistently brilliant. I don’t mind the decor and the staff are ever so friendly and nice atmosphere prevails.

I lived in Barry 20 years ago and this was the place to go so when we were invited for a meal with family i was thrilled

Went here for a birthday party on in Nov the place is small but fits loads of people and still feels spacious. The outside dose not look like a restaurant and has the front door from a house on the outside that makes it feel like you are intruding into someone home how ever I loved it it's was unusual. The food the important part of any restaurant the food the starters are amazingly presented I had the white bait and boy was there loads of it but it was too nice not to eat as for the mains it is served in an unusual way that is amazing first they give you a hot plate I thought I was just a plate to have your plate of food on but it turned out it's not the food is bought out to you still in the pan and placed on your plate I had steak that was so nice the cut of meat was a great cut then the veg and potatoes are brought out and place on you plate the hole thing was strange but great after that the deserts board is bought out and you have a massive selection to pick from and when they are bought out they look and taste so nice. The hole night the food the staff the lot was amazing and well presented the staff couldn't do too much for you. Defo an amazing place

This is restaurant that has served Barry for many years. It's food, service and staff are always fab which is why we return again and again. Good home cooked food at reasonable prices.

Excellent little restaurant with the most lovely tasting fayre. Great service and very reasonably priced.

My husband and I haven't eaten here for around 30+ years. We'd heard mixed reviews so were unsure what to...

My husband and I visited here recently and were pleasantly surprised just how good the food was. Haven't been here...

Invited by friends to this delightful Italian restaurant so it was wonderful to have a meal in such lovely surroundings....

Vine aquí la semana pasada, el personal era muy acogedor y feliz aunque estaba tan ocupado. La comida era encantador. Sin duda volveremos!

Fuimos allí la semana pasada y, como siempre, era fabuloso filete Rossini es fantástico y donde te dan verduras recién preparado servicio Silver estos días no sé cómo hacen un beneficio, ya que el precio es tan razonable

Reservado para un caso de paco miembros de la familia cumpleaños. No es la primera y no será la última como gran servicio atento del personal amable y como siempre buena comida a precios razonables

The Casa Paco is known to be a favourite in Barry understandably. The little family owned restaurant never fails to please with its incredibly cooked steaks, chicken & more dishes. Never had a bad meal here and the staff are very friendly :)

El servicio es fantástico, pero habituales tuve la mejor carne que he probado, Solomillo cocinado medio absolutamente el mejor que he tenido.

This has been part of the Barry scene for many years. The staff are welcoming and friendly. When we arrived it was empty, but quickly filled up.Food arrived without delay and with silver service. Presentation was good, tasty food and plenty of it.It has a well earned reputation for good food and we will certainly be returning.

Just as lovely as I remembered. Gorgeous food and I love the silver service. It's something special that you rarely see these days.

Went there with a group of friends, the service was friendly the food was hot and tasty and Silver Service very 1960s. It is a nice small cosy restaurant, slightly retro as even though the rooms have been updated the atmosphere reminds me of my young days!

Ate here with friends once again and I have to say we had a great evening with fantastic food served by excellent staff. Despite the restaurant being very busy, we had a drink at the bar area and were quickly shown to our table. There is a great 3 course set meal menu priced at around £25 which has to be the best value in the area. The staff are super helpful and even made allowances for choosing food off different sections of the a la carte menu. I admire the fact that the menu remains pretty much the same as it has done for many years, why change something that isn't broken ? The quality of food served was excellent - many thanks chef and staff - I only wish they would tell me who their wholesale meat supplier is, the steaks are to die for. Will be returning soon, and thoroughly recommend Casa Paco for its quality of food, great value and made welcome by very efficient and friendly staff.

Price I hear you say.Well be prepared to be pleasantly surprised the "fixed menu" is not only quite extensive but very reasonably priced for the type of fayre it is offering. The service is good and there's no boom boom music going on so its a place you can actually talk to one another (rather rare nowadays ) ,The al a carte is also good and again not much dearer than the set menu.They never overbook and the table is yours for the night so it is advisable to book to avoid disappointment. One slight criticism the range of vegetables could be a little more extensive but other than that a quite night out to be enjoyed. I have done a lot of "Not Sure's" so it might be best to ring them to check beforehand

Party of 24 here last week for a 40th birthday. Split over 2 tables with the youngsters on one and the adults on a long table. Haven't been here for about 13 years so glad they have revamped the decor.We pre-ordered due to the size of our party from the mid-week deal which was £34.95 for 2 persons for starter, mains and dessert - very good deal.It did take a while for starters to come which wasn't an issue for most but the kids were getting fidgety.Wife had baked Brie to start and I had garlic mushrooms. Cheese was very nice and a large portion. Mushrooms were also plenty and lovely but the accompanying bread could have been better,We both had steak, which was an extra £4 each so still good value. Plenty of veg with meal but as we didn't want a sauce for the steak, would have been nice to be offered mustard.Dessert was a choice, can't remember all of them but I had Tiramisu and wife had chocolate pot - both nice but we would have preferred a cheese board each but not available, even though we would have paid extra.Overall, a very good evening but I think they needed more staff on to cope as as well as our group, there were several other tables of 6 and 8.Well worth a visit...

The staff and food was very nice and saved my day as we were booked in The Gallery but this had closed not letting anyone know. Karen is a credit to her father who used to be chef as she is always polite and always has a smile. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone

Well, where do I begin? There is so many good things I could say about this magnificent eating house. I couldn't believe my taste buds when they started dancing around in my mouth like I was in my year 11 prom after party #greatnight #pulled. The second my tongue came in contact with that steak, my heart skipped a beat. I looked across the beautifully set table and seen a tear stream down my brothers face. I ask what is wrong and he replies, "its just exquisite, it is like I've tasted heaven." The waitress that served me had eyes that sparkled like the clean plates my food was served on. If I ever met her again, I would make her mine and one day, my wife. Overall it was a wonderful night with a loving atmosphere and gave me a memorable experience and will definitely be visiting again in the near future. Thank you Casa Paco for such a fantastic evening and welcoming us so lovingly into your restaurant. Love you always and all the stars in the sky.From Gary & Lary xxx

Lovely food and top quality meals. mid week set menu, 2x 3 courses for £35 I think it was, very clean and staff very nice. Will be returning in following weeks.

had incorrect meal even after prebooking then it arrived overcooked the restaurant staff then advised me that no one had the correct meals and that they would try to correct it but it would take 25 minutes but the rest of my table were half way into there meal to top it off the member of staff was the daughter of the owner very poor I wish I hadn't paid will never go there again extremely poor

We've been here a number of times but never written a review but I can honestly say that in all the times we've been there has not been one disappointment ! This was no different.The steak with pepper sauce was especially good but all the food was really good. Added to that is wonderful friendly service at is welcoming and efficient but not overbearing in any way. Looking forward to going back for another visit !

Once again the Casa Paco has presented the most delicious Steat au Poire. Cooked to prefection, they never fail. Thank you
