    Thanks to cancellations due to a snow storm I got a table last minute. Lovely room with welcoming staff. Terrific cocktails. Appletini was the best I have had. Shared a nice nice burrata with mushrooms on greens salad to start. The Gorgonzola pasta and the lamb and steak posts du giorno were fantastic. Only our wine selection, a modestly priced Chianti Classico reserva from the extensive and pricey list was underwhelming. A nice gem downtown.

    Excellent food, well prepared and expertly served. The owners of Carisma love to make their rounds and welcome all of their guests. The servers are exceptional and well versed in the offerings of the evening. Genuine Italian waiters who can probably prepare your meal as well guide you through all of Carisma’s offerings. I genuinely enjoy the whole Experience and would dine there again!!

    We had a great evening at Carisma! The server was very attentive and the entire staff worked to accommodate my dietary requirements. The food was delicious, albeit a bit on the pricey side. I would definitely recommend!

    Our server Sasha was exceptional. Osso Bucco should be more flavourful. Overall, a wonderful experience. Will be back.
