    The staff were amazing they made you feel like you were on vacation in Italy. They were very attentive never had to touch the bottle of wine but never felt like they were hovering or rushing us. They timed the courses perfectly. You pay premium and receive premium.

    Margie and the Carisma team (Silva) were amazing. I had a few out of town coworkers and everyone loved the food and wine and ambiance.

    We had reserved for fewer guests than expected but the incredible team at Carisma quickly pivoted and put us in the private dining area. The food was as delicious as always and the service impeccable. Highly recommend Carisma for any event or occasion if you want to be treated like VIP!

    Carisma is IMO Italian fine dining at its best. Simple, fresh, quality ingredients done without flash or excess. Pasta is made in-house. There is an understanding of, appreciation for and a serious commitment to classic cooking as it has been traditionally done for generations. As our server — attentive but not intrusive — noted, the secret is in the sauces that complement and enhance the flavor of the food, not obscure or overwhelm it. The ambiance and atmosphere — light, with lovely wall sconces and elegantly understated chandeliers — perfectly complement the food. A memorable experience.

    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.
