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.

    Service from upon entering the store was warm and welcoming, although busy, there was no lack in care from service. There is a lot of interaction between the sommelier and servers to your table to ensure the best experience. The food was amazing and the recommendations were thoroughly explained, I had the signature tasting menu with the classic wine pairing and it was worth the experience. The dish's depth of flavour based on explanation alone creates a lot of expectation and the expectations were indeed met. For those inexperienced with wine tasting, do not fret, take it slow and the best way to learn wine is just drinking it 😋. Would come again

    Always amazing experience! Nice to see chef Daniele and his staff. Food always on point, service spectacular and extra nice touch of having chef say hi at your table. I’ve followed Daniele from Don Alfonso and he doesn’t disappoint

    Very special evening. Delicious food, excellent attentive service by Naz our server. We even got a tour of the kitchen and met the chef (Michelin star!). Sommelier selected a perfect wine! Beautiful presentation with such attention to detail. The dining room is spectacular - majestic doors from Italy, high ceilings but it all feels so intimate. A real Salvador Dali sculpture. We will definitely return.

    DaNico Restaurant gave us an anniversary dinner we’ll never forget. From the moment we arrived, the staff were warm and attentive, making us feel truly celebrated. Our server, Mirko, in particular, was incredible—kind, knowledgeable, and passionate about everything on the menu. The staff didn’t just recommend dishes and wine pairings; they gave us the story behind them. Whether it was the region in Italy where a dish originated or details about the cooperative that owned the winery producing the glass we were drinking, the experience was as insightful as it was delicious. If you want to feel the passion for great food and wine, DaNico is where you want to go. We couldn’t have asked for a more special evening.

    Da Nico was amazing - I highly recommend it! I booked it based on an Instagram feed, we didn’t know much about it before arriving. The interior is stunning, the service was great and of course the food and wine was amazing! George was our server and was so helpful and friendly, Jeff the sommelier recommended a great bottle of barbera! We will be going back!!!
