Best Restaurants for Anniversaries in Little Portugal / Dundas West

From the moment we stepped into DaNico, we were struck by how beautiful the space was. The high ceilings, artwork, and dark colour tones created a dramatic and refined atmosphere. It felt like the perfect setting for a special evening. The attention to detail extended to the glassware and plateware, which were both elegant and intriguing, adding an extra layer of charm to the dining experience. The service was impeccable. From the moment we entered, the staff were warm, attentive, and thoroughly professional. When confirming our reservation, we mentioned a dietary restriction, and to our delight, our server was already aware of it when greeting us. They thoughtfully provided tailored suggestions, which made us feel genuinely cared for. As for the food, every dish showcased incredible depth of flavour and texture. The creativity in the menu was evident and much appreciated, making each bite a delight to savour. The cocktail menu had a great mix of creative drinks, and I loved that there were some really interesting non-alcoholic options too. As someone who is dairy-free, dessert is often an afterthought at most restaurants, but DaNico surprised us with dairy-free desserts that were both indulgent and satisfying—a rare and much-appreciated treat! Overall, DaNico delivered on all fronts—ambiance, service, and cuisine. It was a memorable experience.

Amazing food and service. Flavors are delicious. We will be back!

Vibe was amazing and service was on point. Great place to celebrate special occasions🥂

Delicious five star Ligurian dining in a beautifully designed space. Top quality- fresh and most appealing presentation. Flavours and complexity to die for. The staff were slightly wooden but that is minor compared to a most exceptional taste experience.

Great server - Sai - food was amazing, drinks were incredible and the restaurant is very appealing on the inside. Servers were very attentive. Ordered; albondiga, casa guacamole - highly recco, casa tomahawk - absolute perfection, truffle risotto- one of the best I’ve had, chilli charred broccolini - not that great. Dessert ordered the brown butter tarta - presentation was beautiful and taste was ok for me. Highly recommend Casa Madera!
