Steps away from the King Edward Hotel, Toronto’s financial, business, theatre, shopping and culinary districts. Carisma offers something a little different.

With a long history of being in the business, including restaurants such as Il Mulino and Barolo, Carisma prides itself on offering impeccable real Italian food and quality service.

Carisma epitomizes the overall dining experience. Whether it is a drink at the bar, or a culinary journey where you enjoy food with your senses first. It is a place where you feel at home and coming for years, even if its your first time.

I am from out of town and this Toronto experience was absolutely amazing. The server Danny was very attentive to our needs and was there at the perfect time during our visit to ask if we needed anything or to refill our beverage. We did not feel rushed, even though we were there for over an hour. The food was eye pleasing and tasty. Would return and highly recommend.

Carisma had been our 'go to ' favourite restaurant when we lived in the King/ Adelaide area several years ago and going back to celebrate a milestone anniversary this week, we were not disappointed ...still the fabulous food we remembered. It has recently undergone a complete renovation and it is lovely !! A wonderful, welcoming and comfortable ambience and seating that you are reluctant to leave behind. The owners are lovely and one of them quietly visits each table of guests... and...they do help their wonderful staff serve when meals are ready to be served and the restaurant is busy. WE highly recommend it.

What really makes this place stand out is the attention to detail and the effort that all the staff put in to providing five star service. Every dish was excellent and all cocktails were delicious. They also have a fantastic wine selection even by the glass. A big thank you to our main waiter Simone who was just excellent.
