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.

This was one of the top 20 meals my wife and I have had…period!!! We have dined at some of the finest restaurants from NYC, to Las Vegas, to San Francisco, to Europe and beyond. Our team of servers were a delight. If you can have Graham and Valentina take care of you, you will be in for a treat. Although I do not drink alcohol, the sommelier helped me pick the perfect mocktail and created a wonderful set of wine pairings for my wife’s meal. We had the a la carte prix fixe at $160/pp, and it was worth every penny and more! The wagyu beef secondi melted in my mouth, and the essence of Italy duo of rissoti was a perfect bite of Italy each time. My wife’s egg souvide appetizer was a treasure. The spaghetoni cooked in mushroom broth with truffle and Parmesan may have been the best dish of the night! Cannot say enough good stuff about them. Cheers Da Nico for a wonderful night!!!

Splendido percorso gastronomico al Ristorante Da Nico @danico.to di Toronto, sotto la guida dello chef Daniele Corona, un percorso durato 3.5 ore. Ambiente accogliente e servizio impeccabile da parte di Graham e dall’head sommelier Jeff, la carta dei vini è notevole. Il menu Signature prevedeva quale aperitivo il canapé selection, a seguire il tonno tonnato, il cervo con topinambur e rabarbaro, gli spaghettoni di Gragnano ai funghi locali e tartufo nero, il merluzzo nero al vermouth e caviale oscetra, il manzo di Wagyu e dulcis in fundo il viaggio d’estate con il melone giapponese ibaraki, i babà, la crema al bergamotto e il malt diplomatico. Complimenti a tutti, vi meritate la seconda stella! 👏

We came here for our anniversary and were absolutely blown away! From the moment we walked in the door, we were greeted by the lovely hostess and couldn’t help but immediately notice the gorgeous interior and upbeat atmosphere the restaurant had. The food on the signature tasting menu was phenomenal. The dishes were so beautiful and tasted even better than they looked (which was almost impossible). Our favourite dish of the evening was definitely the venison- not gamey at all and the sunchoke puree was delicious! However, the highlight of our entire experience was the service. Our server Naz was incredibly knowledgeable not only about the food in the dishes but the origin of the ingredients. He was the perfect balance of kind and friendly but also extremely professional. His server assistant Ashley was amazing as well, very lovely and informative. The combo of the two of them made our evening a night to remember. At the end of our meal, Naz took the time to give us a tour of the entire restaurant as it was our first time here. The wine vault was show-stopping and their espresso machine was amazing (and made amazing espresso too). We got to meet the chef and Naz even offered to take photos of us beside the Michelin star sign. Overall, everything was an 11/10. Expensive but even if the bill was doubled, it would still be worth it. Thank you Naz for an excellent evening, we will definitely be back soon!
