Why they're an Icon

MICHELIN 1 Star2024

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.

DaNico is the first Michelin star restaurant my wife and I have been to. A very special night out to celebrate a birthday. During what was undeniably the most delicious and complex (in a good way) meal we’ve experienced, at no time did we feel out of place or in over our heads. The staff was knowledgeable and ready for fun, open to all of our questions no matter how basic. We hoped for something special and got something unforgettable.

The night was incredibly memorable. The food tasted amazing and the plating/visual was thoughtful. The servers were also very attentive and helpful. However, the restaurant can get quite a bit of traffic/noise depending on where you are seated, which may be a consideration if you want to have a more cozy and intimate experience.

Excellent! Our family of four had the tasting menu and wine pairing. The vegetarian and nut allergy (two different people) were very gracefully and thoughtfully accommodated. Food was excellent, service was attentive and the vibe was lovely. Highly recommend for a special night out.

DaNico really takes dining to the next level. They truly live up to the Michelin star they have and all dished and the service are impeccable. The top notch experience starts from the moment you enter the beautifully decorated location till the very last moment when you leave. It is truly a joy dining at DaNico!

From start to finish, the experience was world class. From the church doors at the entrance to the chef interaction at the end, it was memorable. Our waiter Mirko was the best. He helped us pair wines and cared for us like family. Honestly, we will remember this meal for the rest of our lives. The oysters, waygu, pasta, and venison were all so good. We discovered here the joy of amaro. If you haven’t tried it, check it out. Do try this place. You will not regret it.
