    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.

    Our first time dining at Carisma and we were delighted with the experience. Started with the Capesante Con Funghi. The scallops melted in your mouth, and the delicate saffron and white wine sauce gave them a lovely flavour. We followed that with the Osso Bucco Alla Milanese. The meat was done perfectly, falling of the bone and so tender and flavourful. The accompanying risotto was delicious as well. We finished with the Tortino Al Cioccolato. If I'm to be perfectly honest, this was not as good as the rest of the meal. It was flavourful enough, but not as moist as expected. Perhaps my expectations were too high given how fantastic the rest of the meal was. The overall atmosphere was warm and friendly, with top notch attentive service. Will definitely come again.

    What a special night out with family! Our table ready right on time. Attentive staff, apprised of a show time, helped us get underway and out without feeling rushed. We enjoyed warm mushroom and burrata and truffle salads, and zucchini flowers before a trio of mains (a traditional penne, a boar ragout pappardelle, and an exquisite seafood risotto that our server selected for me). The resto was abuzz with diners and it was a treat, seated close to the kitchen, to see the large staff deftly handle the crowd. We will be going back when we have more time to try the meats and fishes that most of the other diners were ordering. Thank you to the staff, and especially Simone, for a wonderful start to our night out. And thank you for having non-alcoholic options!
