The owner Cristina is wonderfully accommodating to large crowds as she worked out a prefix menu for a group of 20 hockey parents during a recent tournament. As the parent wanting to organize a great meal and experience for parents to get to know one another better, this place was warm and cozy! On top of it all, the food was terrific and each parent raved about the delicious options they ate. It's hard to please everyone, especially with dietary restrictions, and yet Cristina made it very possible! Thank you!

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!!

Food is very solid red sauce Italian. Had the haddock Milanese. Very fresh fish, generous serving and great sauce. Artichoke app was ok. My companion had veal parm. The veal was a tad overcooked. Service is always wonderful.

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.

Very poor management and customer service. This was my first time coming here. We got up and left after waiting an hour for our waitress to come to our table just to get our order for drinks, and she still failed to do just that. It's a shame, though. I heard good things about the food here, but I never got to try it, and I will not be back. There was also several other people seated, and didn't have any of orders taken.

Walked in greeted right away by a friendly face. Was seated was fairly busy for a Saturday prime time a couple large parties made it a bit loud all in good fun. Place is decent in size and looked clean Ordered the stuffed mushrooms were really good waitress was attentive and smiling brought me some crusty bread and oil so good I ate it all shhh my meal eggplant Parmesan with ziti and meat sauce. Was delicious although I only had 2 bites of the eggplant because I over did it with bread. Lol don't judge. I'll eat the eggplant for lunch tomorrow I asked for cheese. You know the grated kind we all like on our pasta dishes? Instead of a shaker or an actual grater I was given a small to go cup with a lid I thought was a bit odd. But all in all a really good meal and experience I will return. Sauce was the boss
CHRISTINAS used to be the place to go way back when. Our last visit there was so disappointing. The decor is severely dated, service was slow and they weren't all that busy. Neither one of us can remember what we ate, but we both remember saying "we won't be back here again".

Not great service, pretty awful atmosphere (2005 called, it wants it's window treatments back), food that would be fine if we were paying ~$11 a plate, but with supposedly homemade pasta and $20 price tags, it was super disappointing. 3 of us had the check come to $91 (you had to pay extra for tiny cups of cheese). The sauces the pasta was in were SUPER watery and poorly made. Overall, will not be returning
