Why they're an Icon

  • Award icon
    MICHELIN 1 Star2024

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.

                          Dining experience was extraordinary, in terms of food, service, and ambience. Chef was able to accommodate a request for vegan dishes. Will definitely dine here again and will recommend this restaurant to others. A five star experience all around.

                          The food was absolutely perfect. Every bite was amazing. Service was inconsistent and at times intrusive. For the price I would expect service to match the food. As well I am confused why I received calls in advance of the meal to ask questions like food allergies and whether it was a special occasion. I took the time to call back and none of what I said was communicated. Including several food allergies.

                          You get what you pay for! The best restaurant I have ever been to at this point in my life. Service was outstanding, the food was outstanding, the sommelier(Jeff) was the best I have ever experienced, and the restaurant is beautiful. Okay, it is expensive but in this case you do get what you paid for. Incredible.
