Greek fast-casual concept Mailo’s The Pasta Project is set to enter the North American market with a new restaurant in Canada.

Situated in Toronto, the restaurant is scheduled to open on 12 June.

The company said the outlet will serve 13 pasta options, with dishes spanning classics such as Carbonara through to Greek-influenced Pastitsio.

Mailo's The Pasta Project founder Nikos Moutsouroufis said: “The expansion of our restaurants into Canada marks an exciting new chapter of growth for the brand.

"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."

Mailo’s began in Athens, Greece, and has since grown into a regional chain operating across Cyprus and Lebanon, with more than 50 locations in these territories.

The chain focuses on three pasta varieties, notably rigatoni, casarecce and campanelle, which are combined with its own sauces made from what the business describes as premium components.

The company said: "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 also allows customers to customise set menu items using a range of add-ons, enabling them to adjust ingredients according to their preferences.
