Incredible restaurant. Food, service, atmosphere— DaNico has it all. Highly recommend checking it out. We recreated the signature pre-fix menu by ordering the same dishes a la carte and was thoroughly impressed with each dish. Food is Italian, often with a fusion twist with another cuisine. Very well prepared and everything was delicious. I would definitely come back again!

I recently had the pleasure of dining at the Michelin-starred Danico, and it was an unforgettable experience. We thoroughly enjoyed the venison with chestnut puree—absolutely delicious, and the truffle pasta was cooked to perfection. For dessert, the strawberry panna cotta was smooth, airy, and just the right amount of sweetness. Our waiter, Mirko, a native Italian, really elevated our experience with his warm and friendly service. I celebrated my birthday there, and they made it extra special by gifting me a birthday card and a wine cork! The entire experience was top-notch. Highly recommend this restaurant for anyone looking for incredible food and a memorable dining experience! 😊

We had an unforgettable birthday dinner for my best friend at Da Nico, and it was truly an amazing experience! The presentation of each dish was stunning, and the service was absolutely top-notch, definitely Michelin star-worthy. We went with the tasting menu, and it was the perfect way to enjoy the best dishes from Chef Daniele. Each course was a masterpiece, showcasing incredible flavors and creativity. A special shoutout to Marco, who went above and beyond to take care of us throughout the evening. His attention to detail and friendly demeanor made the night even more special. However, I do want to share one point of feedback. I had booked a bar table and arrived at 5:10 PM, asking if there was any dining table available. They said no, which was understandable at the time. But by the time we finished our dinner, there were still two dining tables empty. Since I had an early reservation, I feel they could have accommodated us for a more comfortable experience at a dining table. (last picture I told) Despite this, the food and service were fantastic, and we left very satisfied. I’d still highly recommend Da Nico for anyone looking for a top-tier dining experience!

DaNico truly lives up to its Michelin rating. The signature tasting menu was exceptional—each dish crafted with quality and care. Even the dessert was unique and memorable. Service was impeccable, making the entire experience well worth it. Highly recommended!

Beautiful restaurant! We did the tasting menu and it was such a fun experience. We enjoyed almost all the dishes and I particularly liked that every dish came with its own "snack". Started off strong with the canapes and the crab salad was SO delicious. Not to mention beautiful.

This newly Michelin-starred Italian restaurant truly lives up to its reputation! The food presentation was stunning, and the choice of serving wear added an extra touch of elegance to the experience. The signature menu offers a wide selection, with something for every taste. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, making the whole experience feel like a trip to Rome itself. Highly recommended for anyone looking for an authentic Italian dining experience!

Amazing birthday experience! The service was impeccable, and each dish was thoughtfully crafted. While the pacing was a bit fast initially, the staff adjusted perfectly once we mentioned it. The atmosphere was lovely throughout.

When this place inevitably wins its Michelin star(s) someday, it will be an entirely deserving designation. DaNico offers an inventive, versatile and thoroughly delicious menu, and an elegant and pleasant dining experience. An impeccable restaurant that only a handful of spots in Toronto can be compared to.
