DaNico
Italian
The dining room occupies a former bank, and the high ceilings and long linen tablecloths suggest the space hasn't entirely forgotten its past grandeur. This is fine dining Italian, with a tasting menu or prix fixe built around Ontario produce and serious technique. Irreverent artwork keeps the mood from tipping into solemnity. The wine list leans deep Italian with growing Ontario representation. DaNico holds a Michelin star and placed third on 50 Top Italy's global list.
