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.

                          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.
