Wow! What a wonderful evening of delicious food, Top Shelf Service all within the delightful feeling of warm and Gorgeous Restaurant:) Our servers Silva and Anastasia were amazing! Every suggestion made was perfect. All our food from the warm mushroom salad, spaghettini, grilled veal, to the dessert finale cheesecake were perfect. We can’t wait to go back! Thank-you Carisma 👍👍

Thanks to cancellations due to a snow storm I got a table last minute. Lovely room with welcoming staff. Terrific cocktails. Appletini was the best I have had. Shared a nice nice burrata with mushrooms on greens salad to start. The Gorgonzola pasta and the lamb and steak posts du giorno were fantastic. Only our wine selection, a modestly priced Chianti Classico reserva from the extensive and pricey list was underwhelming. A nice gem downtown.

Excellent food, well prepared and expertly served. The owners of Carisma love to make their rounds and welcome all of their guests. The servers are exceptional and well versed in the offerings of the evening. Genuine Italian waiters who can probably prepare your meal as well guide you through all of Carisma’s offerings. I genuinely enjoy the whole Experience and would dine there again!!
