Best Restaurants for Anniversaries in Scarborough

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!

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.

The occasion of this visit was a pre-Christmas lunch with some colleagues and friends. There were four of us. Two of us had the veal special, one the veal parmigana, and the fourth had the chicken. We shared a sampling of appetizers including the carpaccio - a favorite of mine. Everything was excellent. In fact, over the years that I've dined at Carisma, I have never had anything less than an excellent meal. The service always complements the food in quality. Looking forward to my next visit, in 2025.

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!
