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.

    We recently celebrated our anniversary at Danico, and the entire experience exceeded our expectations in every way. From the moment we arrived, the service, ambiance, and attention to detail were absolutely impeccable. The food was outstanding – every dish was expertly crafted, full of flavor, and beautifully presented. Meeting the chef during our visit was a special highlight, and it was evident that the culinary team is passionate about delivering excellence. Our server was exceptional, offering attentive and knowledgeable service throughout the evening. He went above and beyond, even taking us on a tour of the restaurant, which added a unique and memorable touch to our experience. The ambiance at Danico was elegant yet inviting, providing the perfect backdrop for a special occasion. The staff made us feel truly valued, and their thoughtful gesture of presenting us with a gift for our anniversary was a testament to the care and dedication they extend to their guests. Every aspect of our evening at Danico was flawless. It was a perfect balance of exceptional service, outstanding cuisine, and a warm, inviting atmosphere. We look forward to returning and highly recommend Danico to anyone seeking a truly memorable dining experience.

    Everything you expect from a Michelin star restaurant, and more. Service was attentive, specific, extremely hospitable. The decor is elegant and comfortable. And the food, I cannot say enough about the food, the melding of tastes, the presentation, absolutely delicious and fulfilling.  The complete delight from the moment we walked in the door. Wonderful for date night, anniversaries, celebrations, and when you want to impress. I will be back.

    Impeccable restaurant. Gorgeous room, delicious and beautifully plated food. The service was super professional and friendly. No one looked rushed and no one rushed us, as diners. The sommelier was a breath of fresh air. Super open to tailor wines and very engaged. Congratulations. Well done. Other expensive restaurants in Toronto don’t come close to what your offer.

    We sat the bar and had a great evening. So many special thoughtful things throughout the night. Bread service was delicious and the desserts at the end were a treat. We had the cod and the wagyu and both were delicious. The pasta was also very tasty. Great selection of cocktails and wine. Was pleased to see some sake selections as well. Special evening out.

    It was an exceptional experience from an incredible team. My friends and I loved the room, the wine, the food, the service. Every once in a while all the elements come together for a perfect evening and Danico definitely hits it out of the park. Grazie!

    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.
