Mailo’s The Pasta Project, the fast-growing Greek fast-casual brand known for its signature “street pasta” concept, is making its North American debut with a new Toronto location opening June 12 at 357 Bremner Blvd.
The concept is a fast-casual restaurant brand known for its signature “street pasta” concept, combining premium ingredients with the convenience of modern urban dining. With more than 50 locations across Greece, Cyprus, and Lebanon, Mailo’s offers flavour-forward pasta dishes served in its iconic red to-go cups, it explained.
“Originally founded in Athens, Greece, Mailo’s has built a devoted following by combining high-quality cuisine with the convenience and accessibility of modern street food culture. Designed for busy, urban lifestyles, the brand delivers elevated pasta dishes in a fast-casual format using fresh ingredients, bold flavours, and signature presentation,” said the brand.
Mailo’s menu features curated pasta creations with customizable ingredient add-ons, allowing consumers to tailor dishes to their preferences. Guests can choose from three pasta varieties: Rigatoni, Casarecce, or Campanelle, each paired with one of the brand’s signature sauces made from premium ingredients. Every meal is served in Mailo’s iconic to-go cups, designed for convenient dining whether on the move or enjoyed throughout the city, it said.
With an established presence across Greece, Cyprus, and Lebanon, Mailo’s is bringing its globally recognized pasta concept to Canada for the brand’s first North American opening. Founder Nikos Moutsouroufis created Mailo’s to fill a gap in the industry by offering high-quality pasta tailored to younger, fast-paced consumers seeking both convenience and quality, it added.
“The expansion of our restaurants into Canada marks an exciting new chapter of growth for the brand,” said Moutsouroufis. “Toronto is our strategic launchpad – a multicultural, trend-driven city that will help shape our future growth across North America. Our first store is designed to be more than just a point of sale; it’s a destination where we can build awareness, foster community, and introduce guests to the Mailo’s experience.”
The Toronto location has been thoughtfully designed to reflect the full Mailo’s brand experience with a vibrant, welcoming environment where guests come to “eat at Mailo’s,” not simply eat pasta. The space is intended to appeal to friends, families, students, professionals, and solo diners alike, added the company.
It said the menu will feature 13 flavour-forward pasta dishes, ranging from timeless favourites like Carbonara to the Greek-inspired Pastitsio, offering consumers a fresh and convenient way to enjoy elevated pasta on the go.
