Dinner with DINR: Daniel Costa

Getting into any of Daniel Costa’s restaurants on a Saturday night is no small feat. Getting into three in one evening? Impossible. Going to three with Daniel Costa as your personal guide? Well, that only happens with DINR.

Anyone familiar with the Edmonton dining scene knows Daniel Costa. Since opening Corso 32 in 2010, his restaurants have continuously pushed the city’s food culture forward. Inspired by the New York bistros he discovered while visiting his wife in medical school, Corso 32 was dark, loud, and unapologetically bold. As Daniel puts it, “When Corso 32 opened, people either loved it or hated it.” Fifteen years later, and now with six restaurants spread across downtown Edmonton, it’s clear that the critics were in the minority. Or maybe Daniel just won them over.
