Catering by Mario is an autenthic Italian restaurant that offers private catering, dine in, and take out. I've discovered this fine establishment during my lunch break today.
I've ordered the veal sandwich + with the soup of the day! Price is perfect for the quality that you're getting.
I will be back again!

Lovely little spot to get lunch in this industrial area. In and out in under an hour even with a packed house. I am not vegetarian but the vegetarian whole wheat spaghetti is amazing. Only complaint is the drip coffee tastes weak---order an Americano if you want coffee and you won't be disappointed. They even give you a packaged mini biscotti with your coffee. Fresh half mini baguette bread comes before your meal arrives. Best deep fried calamari I have ever tasted. Can hardly wait to order these two dishes again when I am in the area.

We had an amazing house gathering hosted by Mario this pass Sunday and it was a huge success thanks to Mario and his team. It was supposed to be a backyard party but due to the rain, we had to move everything indoors. Mario and his team were extremely accommodating and knew exactly how to set up everything inside the house. The food was very fresh and tasty and the services provided was top notch. My husband and I were able to enjoy the party without doing anything. The response from our guests after the party was nothing but positive comments. Everyone enjoyed the food and complement the excellent

Little hidden gem in the midst of an industrial/office area.
This place is pretty good.
The good - their sandwiches are delicious. Bread to meat proportions are perfect. We got takeout here. The best part is that you can order online and pay at the restaurant instead of calling to pre order.
The bad - we ordered online and order was punched in correct, however the toppings that were requested weren't there.
Despite the lack of toppings on my sandwich, it still tasted good, but could've been even better.
I'd give them another shot.
If you pay in cash, you'll get a discount

This is the first time I've wanted to write a review even before my food arrived. Why? This place gets full points for its interiors. An oversized dresser at the entrance gives it a homely feel. Its got a cosy,European cafe vibe,plenty of light and a spiral staircase for upstairs seating as well. Nestled amidst a boring stretch of office buildings,I would have never known of this place if not for someone reccomending it. I got the Italian sausage sandwich which came with a side salad. It was so yum, just like nonna would make it. They also offer catering so I've already got them bookmarked

Nestled in the office wasteland of Hwy 7 and Leslie lies an incredible Italian place that I kind of want to keep to myself. There you will find incredible food and friendly folks.
My coworker brought me here for some much needed chicken parmesan therapy. Their chicken parm is served on a crusty bun and is jam packed with flavour. It has easily pushed California Sandwiches out of the number 1 spot for me. The sandwich here has less meat, but the meat is way more flavourful and fulfilling.
Service is friendly and well paced. They seem to only serve regulars, as they seemed to be on a first name

My friend works around the area and used to get take-out here. Highly recommended by her and so here I am : )
Nice cozy place and it was packed during lunch. We sat at the bar and Mario was there. He introduced us to his wife and his two sons. It's sure a family business : )
We ordered Tuscan bean soup, Caesar salad and Gomitelli al Forno. Mario gave us extra bread and taught us an Italian word " scarpetta", which means, mop up the sauce of the plate with the bread. We did scarpetta our plate : ) It was as clean as it has just finished a hot bath in a dish washer :p

I agree, Mario's Paninoteca or Catering By Mario's deserves 10 stars. I passed by this place for a few years and then had a disappointing meatball sandwich elsewhere and thought I might get a better one here. Boy, was I right. I ate lunch there for literally every day for the next year. Sandwiches, pastas, salads, soups, specials: they are all fresh and delicious.
I like family run businesses and this one should win a "Food Oscar". Service is impeccable, and they treat everyone like they are part of Mario's family. This is not a chain and not chain-restaurant food.

Dropped by here once when I was looking for some good Italian by my work place. I am not a fan of the Alice Fazooli's etc. I find most restaurants make terrible Italian so I ventured into the industrial mall to find good Italian. It was a quite interesting setup upon my first venture, they have kept it to an Italian influenced décor and have a second floor. I arrived a bit before lunch and was able to get my order quickly. The place filled up very quickly. It is quite popular. Food passed my standards. Staff was quite friendly. I will be back!

Chef Mario have been a Chef for many years and have been working for many of the top restaurants around Toronto and Richmond Hill area. He has a great passion for cooking and providing a great experience, and it shows when he's catering.
The event went well, and he took care of everything and all his staff and food went according to plan. Thanks!
