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.

    This is definitely one of the better fine dinings in Toronto if not the best I’ve tried so far in the gta. Every dish was nicely presented and flavors were well balanced. Two things they can improve on: service and wow factor to each dish. Every dish tasted exactly how they were described but just missing the extra spark. This is definitely the trend in the Toronto food scene with all fine dining; great but not excellent. Service varied from all these different ladies. Some were great some were not so great. My friend even pointed out that one lady was so rushed to leave to move on 😂 I have heard that service is good here without being too formal, and this is really informal. Our main server Jessica was very sweet and we wish we had just her during the whole service. Overall it is a nice addition to my Michelin journey and Danico definitely has more potential.

    The sommelier and the small attentions to detail really enhanced our overall experience. I had brought my fiance there for his birthday dinner and he absolutely loved that he even got a small gift from the restaurant. Highly recommend.

    I was dining by myself and had their tasting menu. In general, it was excellent. The service was impeccable. At one point I “mis-ate” a part of one of the courses by not eating the two key ingredients together. As soon as I ate the second piece, I realized my mistaken and casually mentioned it to the server. He immediately gave me a second one to eat properly. I felt it sometimes the wait between the courses was a bit much, but I attribute this to the tempo of their kitchen being aligned to couples or groups rather than a single diner. At the end, I was given a tour of the restaurant and met the chef And shown their wine cellar. I didn’t see that happening elsewhere in the restaurant so I did feel singled out for some special treatment, which I appreciated.

    Service from upon entering the store was warm and welcoming, although busy, there was no lack in care from service. There is a lot of interaction between the sommelier and servers to your table to ensure the best experience. The food was amazing and the recommendations were thoroughly explained, I had the signature tasting menu with the classic wine pairing and it was worth the experience. The dish's depth of flavour based on explanation alone creates a lot of expectation and the expectations were indeed met. For those inexperienced with wine tasting, do not fret, take it slow and the best way to learn wine is just drinking it 😋. Would come again
