Cristo's Bistro is a hidden gem and our family favorite when it comes to Italian. The food is full of flavor and is very authentic. The service is always great and the atmosphere is charming. I recommend the calamari, margarita pizza, and the penne rustica. You also get complementary bread that is fresh and delicious. I hope to see the restaurant in business for many more years. ❤️

Service needs major improvements. Evan E was terrible. No water. Waited on more tea. Never asked for another glass of wine. We was the only table at the time. No more napkins , no cheese, ect. Argued with me over scallops. Not a good idea.
Let me know when he is terminated and we will come back.
Food was fine as usual

Wonderful small neighborhood Italian restaurant. We had a great time. The food was delicious. The appetizer and dessert menus were particularly yummy. The staff were wonderful. The service was extra good. Although the ambiance was casual it was also very nicely furnished. I would highly recommend anything made with their fresh bread. The espresso was worth coming back for alone

This is everything that a neighborhood Italian restaurant should be. Reasonable wine list. Great food. Many menu options. Efficient, helpful staff. An owner who makes the rounds with his wife. The worst thing I could say is that we didn't get bread upon sitting down; in the end that was okay because it left more room for dessert!

I love this place and am here often. I have a book group once a month and come with friends and family. They even have gluten free now! Staff is accommodating even to my group. Food excellent- I like the grandmas pizza, eggplant rollatini and shrimp gambarhetti. Tuesdays 1/2 price bottles of wine night. Always a good time.

After going here for years spending $thousands$ and being well known customers we had a very bad experience where I found a long white hair in my blue cheese. Our waiter went to kitchen and came back saying that no one working that night had long hair. No apology, no attempt to rectify or make us feel better about the gross experience. Also my wife ordered vegetables instead of pasta for her entre and received pasta that night. Showing lack of concern for the customer is very unprofessional. Wrong way to handle your business. Due to how we were treated we will never come back.

Nothing stood out. Very pedestrian food with mild flavors. Calamari was rubbery. Some gunk in the ice cubes put in one of the waters. Table bread was unfortunately the best thing of the evening.

A little tight in the dining area and noisy.

Waitress and serving staff all nice and pleasant.

This was not a good dining experience at all. Ordered the garlic knots; they served us dinner rolls with mostly parmesan butter on top. The big disappointment was the entree they served me; the chicken in the Chicken Parmesan tasted like the bottom of the deep fryer. So, I barely touched the chicken. Also, did not realize they serve with what ever pasta they choose. I would have preferred spaghetti, and was not asked my pasta choose.?? Was very disappointed they would even serve this to us.

NOTE- this is an added comment. I have noticed the owner is very responsive to the positive reviews and does not address a negative review. They do not have much interest in correcting a terrible dining experience.??
