DaNico is one of the top ranked restaurants in Canada and that’s for a good reason. The restaurant has a pleasant decor with knowledgeable and attentive staff worthy of Michelins star and of course the tasting menu was exceptional with delicious and innovative dishes that are pleasant to the eye, nose and tongue. The staff is also very accommodating to dietary restrictions even a few last minute requests of my party. Only detractor is that the restaurant had a constant smokey smell from the grilling in the kitchen. Nevertheless definitely recommend this restaurant for a special occasion or when you feel like splurging on a meal.

Wonderful experience!
Thank you so much for accommodating all our dietary requests — it really made a difference for me and my husband during his special birthday celebration. The food was absolutely spectacular, and the wine pairing worked perfectly. The non-alcoholic sparkling wine was a great touch as well!

The service was top-notch, with amazing communication between the team members — you can truly relax, enjoy, and not worry about controlling what’s going on. We also loved the thoughtful small gift and the variety of desserts, including one with a candle for the birthday wish.

Even though the portions were on the smaller side, we left full and very happy. Highly recommend for special occasions!

This restaurant is an experience. Was in Toronto and we were able to get a Saturday night reservation, so we went in. My recommendation is reserve it for a special occasion.

We went with Signature Tasting Menu and it is some experience. 7 course, unique dishes keep flowing. Every dish was an a culinary experience, taste and presentation. Highlights were Kobe, Venison, Pasta and Dessert. Service was exceptional and we were there for over 2.5 hours without realizing it.

Now keep in mind this is easily $500plus/ person restaurant if this matters to you.

Celebrating a friend’s birthday at DaNico was a superlative experience in dining: delicious and surprisingly dishes, attentive yet friendly staff, in a bold but comfortable interior. Upholstered banquettes and beautiful lighting: this is a place that invites you to linger and savour each bite. Our server, Ashley, was smart and a whole lot of fun, guiding our menu choices and how we might enjoy each course. One of the best meals I’ve had, ever!

We had the pleasure of dining at Danico in Toronto and chose the Signature Menu, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere felt refined yet welcoming, and the service was outstanding attentive without ever feeling intrusive.

The Signature Menu was a journey of flavors, with each course beautifully balanced and perfectly paced. Every plate was like a piece of art, showcasing not only fresh, high quality ingredients but also incredible creativity. The attention to detail in presentation and flavor combinations was remarkable.

What really elevated the evening was the chef’s touch ,you can feel the passion and artistry in every dish. Each course told a story, and the progression of flavors was seamless, making the meal feel like a carefully crafted experience rather than just dinner.

The servers also added to the magic of the evening. They explained each dish with knowledge and enthusiasm, which made us appreciate the food even more. Their professionalism and warm approach made us feel taken care of throughout the night.

Overall, Danico’s Signature Menu is not just a meal, but a celebration of fine dining at its best. The chef’s vision, the flawless service, and the beautiful presentation of every course make it one of the most memorable dining experiences in Toronto.

This place was spectacular! Starting from the physical ambiance and decor of the interior down to the finest details of flower placement on a dish! The food was inventive, and everything we got was insanely delicious! The service team was friendly, professional and very helpful.

I had the pleasure of dining at Danico Toronto, and it was an excellent experience from start to finish. The atmosphere strikes a perfect balance—elegant without being pretentious, with warm lighting and a lively yet comfortable vibe.

The food was outstanding. Each dish was beautifully presented, with flavors that felt refined but approachable. You can tell real thought and care went into the menu.

Service was top-notch as well. Katherine and everyone else was attentive and knowledgeable, offering great recommendations without ever feeling pushy. Everything flowed seamlessly—drinks, appetizers, mains, and dessert arrived at just the right pace. The wine pairing was very good too. Absolutely loved the dessert wine

Overall, Danico is the kind of place that makes you want to linger. Whether for a special occasion or just a night out, it delivers on food, service, and atmosphere. I’ll definitely be returning.

Beautiful restaurant and well deserved Michelin star 🥂
We had our anniversary here last week; the experience from the time you enter to leaving is one of elegance, passion, talent, and great service.
Not only was our food amazing (chose the a La cart option), the sommelier was knowledgeable, and our server Etna was personable and friendly.
We were introduced to Chef Daniele Corona, considering his accolades and the busy dinner time, he was very gracious and polite. We were also permitted access to the wine cellar (the old bank vault) - which was the icing on cake.

Our food highlights: All of it. The Risotto might be the best ever….Please see photos for better descriptions though.

It all made for a very memorable night. I highly recommend this spot and expect great things to continue from DaNico’s.

Dinner was fantastic! Excellent service! We celebrated a friend’s birthday. Was the perfect spot for such an occasion. The table we were seated at was semi private near a cellar wall. Was a pleasure to meet DaNico’s top chef, Daniele Corona. Also took a quick tour of the restaurant and of the 2nd wine cellar which is a repurposed bank vault. It was our third visit here. This time we did the MasterCard Priceless Restaurant Experience. Looking forward to our next visit!
