                          First time Italian cuisine. Wine tasting is a bonus. I learned a lot tonight. First tasting menu I tried ever with different groups of wine pairing on each dish by a certified wine specialist explaining how the pairing works and how they interwined. Thank you.

                          Such an amazing dining experience! My husband and I went to celebrate our 18 year anniversary, and cannot see enough good things about this restaurant. Their attention to detail is unmatched. We will definitely be back.

                          Absolutely amazing service and food. Everything was delicious. Jessica took great care of us and working with our allergies. Everyone there made my mother’s birthday and first time in Toronto worth the trip.

                          This was our second time at DaNico. Since once again it has been confirmed for us that The Chef Danielle Corona is a gastronomical or culinary genius we will be back over and over gain. Of course in addition to his superb food service and sommeliers are all exceptional. Yes it is costly but well worth it.
