DaNico

What is DaNico? Occupying a restored 1900s heritage bank at 440 College Street by Bathurst, DaNico is a Michelin-starred fine dining destination from Liberty Entertainment Group and executive chef Daniele Corona. Nadia Di Donato's design balances soaring cathedral-scale ceilings, museum-grade modern art, and an original bank vault repurposed into a 3,000-bottle cellar, with front-row seats at the chef's counter overlooking the pass. Next door, the year-round LuNa patio provides a more relaxed, aperitivo-leaning alternative to the dramatic formal dining room.

DaNico Menu & What to Order Corona’s multicourse tasting menus and prix-fixe offerings filter classic Italian gastronomy through subtle Asian influences and hyper-local Ontario produce. The undeniable staple is the mushroom spaghettoni, simmered in concentrated mushroom broth and finished tableside with aged Parmigiano Reggiano and shaved truffles. The charcoal-grilled Miyazaki A5 wagyu with shishito and fresh wasabi is equally essential, as is the pigeon breast paired with nasturtium foam. Pair your dinner with the sommelier-curated wine flights, which highlight rare Italian estates and standout boutique Ontario vintages.

Know Before You Go Dinner reservations through the restaurant's website are essential weeks in advance, especially for Friday and Saturday seatings or the intimate chef's table. The restaurant operates for dinner Wednesday through Sunday and stays closed on Mondays and Tuesdays. Streetcar riders can take the 506 Carlton or 511 Bathurst directly to the College and Bathurst intersection, while drivers should plan for Green P street parking along College.
