About this restaurant

Carma is a fine-dining restaurant that serves authentic Italian and Mediterranean cuisine in an elegant space. Helmed by Chef Leo Santana, the menu features pasta, salad, seafood, beef and chicken dishes. Diners rave about Carma's chicken Spiedini Trio, chicken Minestrone soup and the Cannoli. Try the steak Verona for a carnivore's treat. It includes two filet topped with mushrooms, shrimps, prosciutto and a savory wine, butter and lemon sauce. Carma's relaxing ambience, enhanced by the occasional live music, makes it an ideal choice for a casual dining experience. This restaurant is open before noon for breakfast, lunch and dinner Mondays to Fridays, and a little later for lunch and dinner over the weekend.

    Great neighborhood feel in a very "big box" area! Rigatoni was amazing and the happy hour food (mussels and calamari) were fabulous. Looking forward to coming back when the music is playing!

    It took me two years (after moving from California) to find one of the best restaurants in the area. Don and Bree are two of the three owners and two of the nicest restaurateurs you will ever find. The food was fantastic from beginning to end. The bread and garlic flavored olive oil is exceptional. The food is well prepared and well presented. Our waiter was quite attentive and it was an extra nice touch to have Bree and Don stop by our table to see how we enjoyed our meal. The evening was topped off with a tiramisu made without lady fingers. That alone makes me want to return. And we will return as often as possible.

    We have become regulars of this hidden gem! Friday nights feature quiet Chet Atkins style guitar music that provides a great backdrop for a fantastic meal. The wine selection is second to none. We have tried a variety of main courses and have found that the chef is always provides a memorable experience. We have even ordered entrees not on the menu that were created to perfection! Don't forget dessert, Carma has the best Cannolis in town, bar none!!! Don, the owner, is always present and engages in conversation. He is genuine in his concern for his customers and values feedback. For a quiet evening, special occasion, or just a great meal, Carma will not disappoint.

    Very good food. Nicely seasoned and great plate presentation. The dip for the bread was unlike any I have had and so fresh. The sauces were delicate rather than heavy which allowed the food flavors to be fully experienced. Oscar Salmon is what I chose and I was not disappointed. If you have never been to Carma, I recommend you go. Make a reservation as the venue is small. Cons: Can be a little loud and I recommend they upgrade their wine glasses.

    We had a reservation for Valentine's evening. We got to town early so we decided to stop in and see if maybe we could sit early. It was packed and they were fully booked, but offered us a seat at the bar to wait. The bar staff, as well as literally all of the staff we encountered, were incredibly kind. The wine was also quite delicious. We ordered the Spaghetti and Meatballs, Toasted Ravioli, and Eggplant Parmesan, all of which were absolutely delicious. Oh, and the bread with the garlic oil alone is enough to bring me back. They had a live band playing and ended up singing happy birthday to the owner that evening. At the end of the evening the waiter brought over a rose for me as well which was a sweet touch to the evening. All in all, it was an incredible experience and we are looking forward to our next trip to KC to stop back in.

    The appetizers we had were great - the loaded artichoke, and the bacon wrapped shrimp. After that it went downhill. The band playing on Valentine's Day was singing love songs like Lyin' Eyes and Desperado. Disappointing. Our server worked hard and was knowledgeable.

    Service felt rushed and food was subpar for the price. I got fettuccine carbonara and it tasted like it came from Stoffurs. Over cooked pasta and a gel of a sauce.

    Don't sit customers in overflow room. It's not as nice and welcoming as main dinning room. But food was very tasty.
