From the OpenTable editors: Housed in a former bank building, DaNico’s grand setting provides a fitting stage for its high-wattage, Michelin-starred cooking. Combining Italian cooking foundations with Asian-influenced ingredients, chef/partner Daniele Corona’s dishes surprise and delight. A tasting menu with equally alluring wine pairings is the best way to enjoy it, though à la carte is also available.

    My partner and I celebrated our birthdays at DaNico. It was a wonderful experience. We had the a la carte menu and went with recommendations from our amazing server Naz. Every dish was delicious and beautiful. The ambience was warm and sophisticated. The service was unparalleled. We will definitely be recommending DaNico to our friends and family.

    This restaurant is one of my two favourite places. The team is amazing from start to finish. The food, is always amazing, and the luxury of having a sommelier who is a rockstar choosing your wines, is something that everyone needs to experience at least once. Go. Enjoy. Revel in the atmosphere, the room, the food and the wines.

    Delicious meal and simply put, art on a plate. Every dish was crafted to drive your senses and elevate the ingredients. If any feedback at all will be that service did feel a bit rushed at times. We would get the bread and right that moment you will get amuse boche. Can’t really enjoy when everything served at once and same happened with dessert and petite four. But otherwise including the wine pairings were world class and leaving you room to want more. Thank you!

    FACE PLANT!!! This restaurant wants to play on the world stage but falls miserably short of performing. Plenty of pomp and circumstance leads to the set up of the dining experience, and things hum along from appetizers through the primi. But then, the face plant....45 minutes between the servings of the 1st and 2nd courses. What is sold as 8oz of wagyu shows up as a 4oz serving of beef tenderloin, NOT wagyu! Just plain disappointing. Typically Toronto. Won't be returning!

    The food was excellent. The premium wine pairing was not what it should be especially serving wine to a DIPWSET. Better off. Wines buy the glass or a bottle selection. Next time

    First time Italian cuisine. Wine tasting is a bonus. I learned a lot tonight. First tasting menu I tried ever with different groups of wine pairing on each dish by a certified wine specialist explaining how the pairing works and how they interwined. Thank you.
