An elegant Italian dining experience in the heart of the downtown core, Carisma is one of the city's best Italian restaurants. After eight years in their quaint and cosy King Street East location, owners Michael and Margi Pagliaro moved into a larger space on Toronto Street that fits the whole extended family. Known for their restaurants Barolo and Il Muilno, in Carisma, they are offering up the best in delicate and traditional Italian dishes. "Carisma," or "accoglienza," in Italian refers to the epitome of hospitality and a warm welcome, and that is precisely what they do here. From the luxurious yet comfortable 1920s inspired decor to the decadence of its homemade pasta, Carisma never fails to make us feel at home.
