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.

    3 days ago New It was everything it promises to be and more. The food is incredible and the staff is clearly hand picked-the attention to detail in everything they do is obvious and everyone is so warm and kind in true Italian fashion-special thank you Marco & Mirko and Ashley. As for Chef Danilo-well its clear why he was the 1st Michelin star chef in Toronto-not only is he talented but he is humble and gracious as he takes time to step out of the kitchen to say hello and thank his guest for coming! Worth checking out as often as one can! Capo lavoro, siete fantastici!

    Second time here for their tasting menu, still very awesome. There will be a third time. Jessica has been very attentive and friendly. I like that they don't create a vibe that would make you feel uncomfortable. While the food is modern, creative and artistic, they are very good food. For many dishes, the flavours and fragrances linger on in my mouth. I love the fish dish for both my two visits. They are top notch, designed and executed to perfection.

    Every dish was truly delicious. Full of flavour and perfectly cooked. The sauces were particularly brilliant - not an easy goal to achieve. Congrats to the Chef Daniele Corona for the meal and to the staff for looking after us so well. I highly recommend the going for the Signature tasting menu combined with the premium wine pairings - well worth the step up in price. Decor designed by owner Nick Di Donato's wife Nadia is gorgeous and eye catching. My best friend Deborah Scott was the original architect on the renovation when it was a bank building and she opened up three floors to allow the drama of a very high ceiling which has been kept to full effect.
