What an unreal experience at a Michelin star restaurant – truly culinary art at its finest. This was everything fine dining should be about: impeccable service, an elegant atmosphere, and unforgettable food. Our waiter, Naz, was outstanding and made my wife’s birthday feel extra special. The best part? They catered perfectly to our halal dietary preferences, which was a huge plus. The menu was beautifully curated, and my personal favorites were the wagyu beef and the egg dish. And I can’t forget to mention the bread – so fresh, paired with their incredible butter and olive oil. Just an amazing night all around. Thanks for making the bday experience unforgettable!

Have you ever tasted something so incredible that you couldn't respond to anyone, just needing to savor every bite in silence? That happened to us in DaNico.
DaNico is an absolute gem. This was, hands down, one of the finest dining experiences I’ve had. Everything, from the food to the service, was thoughtfully curated to make the night memorable. The atmosphere was perfect—elegant yet cozy—and the hours flew by; we ended up spending almost three hours there without even realizing it.
The servers, especially Naz, truly made the experience special. They were attentive, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about the menu. Naz guided us through the night’s options and made some incredible recommendations. On his suggestion, we went for the seasonal rare Alba white truffle substitute (with a little added cost), and it turned out to be one of the best choices we made. The truffle’s flavor was out of this world and brought the pasta to a whole new level. We also had the one without the white truffle and it just wasn’t the same.
If you're looking for a remarkable fine dining experience, I can’t recommend DaNico enough. Every detail is so well thought out, and the service is on point. We’ll definitely be back!

This was an incredible dining experience. From the cocktails to the petit fours, everything was amazing. Our server Graham offered the best service. The attention to detail in each course as well as the glassware, dishes, utensils was clearly very well thought out. A wonderful way to celebrate our anniversary.

I found DaNico in Toronto via a google search of amazing restaurants and was blown away by the ambiance, food, service and overall experience. From the moment you step inside, you’re greeted by a warm “Buonasera” and the ambiance is simply perfection: soft lighting, tastefully understated decor, and a cozy yet sophisticated vibe that makes every table feel intimate and special
The service at Danico is impeccable, the team has a genuine passion for Italian cuisine which becomes clear when they meticulously describe each course. My server was from Roma, Italy and he made me feel both like family and a special guest. He also introduced me to the Chef, Daniele, who found the time to chat a bit about his culinary passion.
And the food...Every dish is a celebration of bold, fresh flavors and traditional Italian techniques. The Spaghettoni ai Funghi is handmade and perfectly al dente, with sauces that are beautifully balanced and bursting with flavor. I had the signature tasting menu with some slight changes because of dietary restrictions and every single plate hit hard!! My favorites were the Granchio Al Gusto (Crab), Spaghettoni ai Funghi and the Lobster but everything is delicious. This was my first time in Toronto and I’m glad I chose DaNico for my first meal in the city. I highly recommend.

What stands out first about DaNico is the atmosphere. Beautiful wooden doors open up to a vast space with 30ft ceilings, beautiful decorations (though my seat could have been more comfortable), and an ambience that is sophisticated and unpretentious.
My partner and I came for our anniversary and opted for the signature tasting menu, which we highly recommend. Each course was beautifully plated with flavors to match. Our favorite dishes included the duck, wagyu, and fish. The only slight "miss" for us was the cod fritters included in the first dish.
What really surprised us about the meal however was 1) the dessert and 2) the wine pairing which we also recommend. The strawberry panna cotta was one of those bites that leaves you a bit speechless wondering how on earth they created that...
This is all to say I'd give DaNico 5 stars across the board, and am excited to see what Chef Corona creates the next time we go. We live in NYC but it may be worth the trip.

What a treat this establishment is. We received polished service from Naz accompanied by knowledgeable wine recommendations from the sommelier. The pace of meals was excellent and not rushed. Took about 2.5hrs to complete. On the pricey side but in line with the Toronto narrative.

Wednesday night and all tables were occupied over time. They sat our group at a high traffic area which was distracting and destroyed the ambience. When we asked, they moved us to our requested table and the experience was far better. Food was like any fine dining resto; appetizers were the highlight with pleasant surprises and the mains were as expected. Dessert was also as expected. Service was decent for a michelin star. But they can be more attentive.
