    First time visiting Carisma. Excellent food and good wine list. You can tell that they take great care in what they serve. Very good value. Service was a bit uneven but that can happen and it won't prevent me from returning. Yes. I will definitely be back.

    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.

    Service was excellent, the food was very good. I would try another dish next time I dine at Carisma. The owners are very engaging and spend time with just about every table, I found that to be very nice and enjoyed chatting with them.

    The restaurant is beautiful but unfortunately, it did not live up to the reviews I read. The bread was really good, with olive oil and rosemary. We shared the burrata appetizer and we all thought it was tasteless - could use more balsamic reduction or salt. All the pasta dishes were okay (gnocci and ravioli), but quite ordinary. Restaurant has a lot of staff which is great for service, but also makes you feel a bit pressured to finish off your plates as they take everything out so quickly. Overall, if you are a foodie, I’m sure you can find a better quality-taste value in the city. But it is a beautiful date spot.

    From the moment you walk in, the owners and staff make you feel welcome! Service and Food were awesome. I high recommend going to this restaurant for any occasion, but you will be impressed by everything and everyone, so special occasions here will be memorable.
