Best Contemporary Italian Restaurants in Yonge and Lawrence

Went here for the first time and it was so great. The drinks, food, service everything was incredible. Will definitely be coming back!

The staff is amazing, food is amazing, everyone was so accommodating. I love bar prima and I will continue to go back.

The covered back patio appears to be in operation year round. Heated and cozy. Service was prompt and helpful. Cocktails imaginative and fun. Food was great. The salad awesome. The meatballs (3 served with an intensely flavoured red sauce) were remarkable- the best anywhere. The nduja and shrimp pasta was terrific. My companion had the Cacio e pepe. Instead of the expected toothsome al dente bucatini, the pasta was like wide lasagna noodles wrapped in the shape of a crown. It was ok but didn’t quite provide the same effect. All in though - great. We shall return.

This was 3rd visit to DaNico, outstanding as ever. From service to food- exceptional, the tasting menu was just perfect, they even made a couple exceptions that were just delicious. Our server was friendly and very knowledgeable with all the courses and took the time to chat with us, he was awesome. Cannot recommend DaNico enough for a celebration dinner, just perfect.

The hostess and waiters were very pleasant and accommodating. We started with the arugula and beet salad. So delicious. Then my husband tried the lamb ragu lasagna. He enjoyed it very much. I tried the mushroom risotto. It was too salty so they kindly replaced it with a pasta entree. Then we had the tiramisu. Very good. Thank you for a positive experience.
