Carisma: The Finest Italian Cuisine in Toronto





Chic and elegant, Carisma is one of the best Italian restaurants in the city, and remains a favourite among its long-standing loyal clientele. After 8 years on King Street East, the restaurant relocated to Toronto Street last year, and we are absolutely thrilled, for Carisma epitomizes the concept of accoglienza, the warm, welcoming hospitality that Italians do so well. Owners Michael and Margi Pagliaro and daughter Monica, continue their legacy of seductive traditional Italian cuisine in their new space exquisitely designed by Youssef Hasbani, the celebrated designer and owner of L'Atelier. The restaurant is bright and modern with a rich azure blue and white palate featuring sumptuous custom-made faux suede seating, sexy curved banquetes, dramatic lighting fixtures and elegant tableware, that combined with Chef Allan Hilario's fabulous menu of homemade pastas, perfectly cooked steaks and grilled whole fish, Carisma's superlative staff and sommelier Adriano Vicentini's extensive wine list, ensures a memorable soul satisfying dinner each and every night.
