we had the most amazing time at Christine’s. this is the epitome of what New Jersey italian food should be. Ronnie was the absolute best - we all hugged him goodbye at the end of our meal. he treated us like family and gave us recommendations of dishes to try. i’d come back just to chat with him, but the food was unbelievable, too. Nina was our server and was also so cool and super helpful. the list of specials was insane in the best way.
italian eggrolls - nothing to dislike here. the cheese was super creamy, which we loved.
special salad - phenomenal. probably the best salad i’ve had in my entire life. everything about it worked and was perfect.
bread with roasted peppers - best roasted peppers i’ve ever had.
rigatoni sharon - super creamy, fresh, homemade pasta - ugh, so freakin good.
veal chop special - i could have cried it was so good. so tender, so flavorful, perfect mushrooms & onions and perfectly cooked spinach. PERFECT.
my husband also loved his chicken margarita and let me have a bite - delicious.
can’t wait to go back - can’t get anything like this where we live in boston.

The food isn’t bad it’s just not worth what they charge. If the pasta dishes are $30+ they should be made in house. Service is friendly but slow.

Wasted valentines day by taking my wife here the had salad as appetizer with eas good the Italian egg rolls were terrible and my dish was ok beside the potatoes chips on top of a chicken breast..my wife got some pasta dish with vodka sauce which was terrible but she didn't want to be rude and say it was bad so she wrapped it which was tossed later..the only good thing is the servers come and check on you to see if everything was good..had to ask waiter 3 times to bring ice to table and we were first ones in there so no excuse to say he was busy

My wife and I brought our children with us to celebrate our 36th anniversary. As usual the food was out of this world terrific. The service was on point and the owner Ron was gracious and as usual entertaining. We absolutely love Christine's and it is our all time favorite restaurant. Thank you to the staff, our compliments to the chef and we love you Ron!

This is our favorite spot here! Ron and his staff make us feel like family!! Love the way he comes to each table and talks to you. Food is amazing. Every time I have family visit, I take them here. Six stars if it was an option!

My wife and I stopped in for our wedding anniversary and had an amazing experience. The owner stopped at our table several times to check on how everything was, the server was very knowledgeable and offered fantastic recommendations and the food did not disappoint. The wagyu appetizer stole the show but all of the food was phenomenal. Honestly, we've never had a bad dish or experience at Christine's.

My sons set up a birthday party for me, every detail
perfect, the staff, food, and little private room was perfect for this occasion.
I highly recommend the Italian eggrolls and fried burrata for appetizers, you will not be disappointed...
We ordered the Wagu steak, veal chop, margarita chicken, for entrees and they were so good! It is also BYOB!
We will be visiting Christines, for many more family parties in the future?

We had an amazing birthday dinner at Christine’s to celebrate family birthdays. Food was over-the-top delicious. Atmosphere was beautiful and intimate. Service was excellent - team knew the menu inside and out. Super friendly and attentive. Bonus was being in the company of Ron and Christine, owners and restaurant namesake.
Bit of a hike for these folks from Dublin O-H-I-O, but we can’t wait for our next visit!! Thank you, Christine, Ron, Matt, Ellie and the entire Christine’s team ❤️

i agree with Kathleen
exact same experience
server Matt was the ONLY thing that was acceptable
the lady in the front is horrendous.....i never understand how people in the hospitality business can be SO nasty
69$ veal chop isn't worth the ticket
tuna terrible
eggplant parm had some funky taste
pasta was like a big gooey clump hardly any sauce and waaaaay overcooked
