Highly recommend for authentic Italian food. The special was a truffle pasta, which was outstanding. The noodles were homemade in the restaurant. Atmosphere was beautiful, classic, chic, I loved the olive trees, they were a charming touch. The service was great, servers were Italian and came from the region where the foods were made. It felt like we were sitting in an Italian chic countryside!

Warm welcome with a cold beverage…
Great conversation with a crème brûlée…I am a Liquor Licence Consultant with 26 years experience, and most of that as a LSO P1 Licence; take my word, just call for a reservation and order the pasta with truffle…

Nestled in the heart of Toronto, Carisma offers an Italian dining experience that strikes a fine balance between elegance and comfort. The chic decor and soft lighting create a welcoming atmosphere that, despite the lively chatter and full occupancy during my visit, maintained a level of noise that was animated yet not intrusive.

From the moment we stepped in, the service was exceptional. Attentive and friendly staff ensured our evening was enjoyable, frequently checking in to ascertain our satisfaction.

The presentation of the food was a visual treat, with portion sizes that were satisfying without being overwhelming. For our appetizers, the burrata salad was fresh and creamy, while the tuna tartare was seasoned to perfection. The main courses, raviolini and spigola (seabass with vegetables and extra virgin olive oil), were both standout dishes that delivered on taste as beautifully as they were presented. To finish, the apple strudel with vanilla ice cream and the tortino al cioccolato were indulgent and a delightful end to our meal.

Carisma truly captures the essence of Italian dining with its combination of a warm ambiance, friendly service, and delectable cuisine. A gem in Toronto's culinary scene, this restaurant comes highly recommended for those seeking to enjoy Italian fare with flair.

Everything was perfect, great service, wine list and food options.
Had one of the specials and a favorite of mine - Chilean sea bass, which came beautifully arranged.
Unfortunately it was overcooked, firm and dry (another guest in our party had the same experience).
Asked the waiter to tell the kitchen (that they successfully killed the fish twice) - but never got any feedback.
Hence a mediocre grade on the food.

I had my birthday dinner with friends. The food was great, and the service was pretty good. However, I just want to give advice not to assume where we are sitting by our race. I know that we were only Asians in the restaurant, but leading us to the table without asking any question (name for the reservation or how many people) was not a pleasant experience. What if I was meeting my other race friends in the restaurant? Other than this, I was pretty satisfied.
