Terrible experience! Reserved a table a month in advance for a milestone birthday. Exchanged emails with the owner and also called the restaurant to confirm the reservation, noting we were celebrating a birthday and members of our party were GF. Was assured options were available and this is also noted on their webiste. Arrived on time for dinner and we were served by a teenager who was nice but looked like he'd rather be anywhere than working at his family's restaurant on a Friday night. The main GF option for dinner was sold out, which left chicken and salad. Another person in our party asked for an advertised special w/o meat and was told no problem. 45 minutes later, we received the worst dinner we've had in recent memory. Food was cold and bland, the baked ziti looked like microwaved tomato soup, and we were informed the restaurant also ran out of mashed potatoes! It was obvious nothing was freshly made and once certain things ran out, they weren't willing to make more. What kind of Italian restaurant runs out of risotto and mashed potatoes? When the server asked how everything was, we answered honestly and asked for the menu items for which we were charged but not provided to be removed from the bill. This prompted the owner to come over and instead of apologizing, she proceeded to dump her staffing and invetory woes on us. At this point, we were the only party left in the restaurant and couldnt wait to leave. The server tried persuading us to stay for dessert, which I'm sure they picked up from Walmart earlier in the day just for us! This place ruined our evening and left us hungry enough to stop at home to eat before heading out again to our next event for the evening. If you're looking for authentic Italian food and good service, go anywhere but here!

On October 11 2025 Cristina came to the rescue when the venue we booked for a surprise 60th Wedding Anniversary double booked. The absolute accommodating staff and Cristina gave us comfort and did an amazing job. Considering the circumstances. Thanks for an amazing experience. We'll make this our spot

My wife and I arranged for a funeral collation luncheon at Cristina's after the church mass for my Dad. The restaurant is closed on Mondays but will open for this type of function with notice. Cristina was very accommodating and took very good care of us all. The food was amazing! I highly recommend Cristina's for catering this type of function. Excellent and personable service! Very reasonable price.

Tried this place and was very disappointed. I ordered the pasta and 1 meatball. The gravy was just ok nothing great or special. The meatball was terrible, I took one bite and didn’t want any more of it. I asked the waitress to take the charge off my bill. Place is dark and the blinds are shut with a note near them saying don’t touch them. The decor is dated and the food I had once is enough. Whomever thinks this is good Italian food has obviously never had delicious Sunday gravy and meatballs. The waitress was attentive and was pleasant.

I went here for the first time with my boyfriend to celebrate my birthday, and I loved it here! The food was so good and filling, and I loved my birthday dessert. Our waitress that night, Mary Ann (I think that’s her name, I don’t remember), was super friendly and sweet! I can’t wait to go back here in the future!

What a great place, staff was amazing as well as the food. Lauren our waitress was on point as was the food. It was our first date, took our drink and app order and food order at the same time giving us time to talk and get to know eachother. Atmosphere is perfect, they were busy and all tables full but we could still hear eachother as we talked. I had the veal marsala, she had the pan sears salmon. Both amazing dishes as we shared. Will definitely be returning!!

Christina's Restaurant has been THE spot for big events in my family; they have great food and TERRIFIC bread, and the private room upstairs is perfectly functional.My MIL planned my wedding rehearsal dinner a few weeks back, talked to someone on the phone, and picked a catering package that accommodated several allergies in the group.Someone who was NOT my MIL subsequently called the restaurant to switch out desserts and also switched out the catering package to something that included a dish that person preferred and cost $5 more per person. Christina's accepted this change because the person who called was a "good friend." We were notified of a change in desserts offered, but not the menu/price difference until presented with the bill. Obviously, the big issue here is with the caller, but this was an egregious oversight on the part of management at Christina's as well. They should have called the person who planned and paid for the event before making changes. Period.The whole thing was very embarrassing, and I've decided not to return to Christina's for events or even dinner anymore. I always look forward to their bread and spicy oil they give you downstairs, and it was disappointing to see we got frozen Sysco rolls and cold butter pads upstairs. We were there for maybe 90 min to 2 hours, and the drink service was so slow we all could only get one drink in. And frankly, the presenting of a special pan of the preferred dish to the caller at the end of the night felt like a slap in the face to my MIL. Horrible experience.
