Fantastic portions, great flavor, and the service was excellent too. Don’t know what to expect, as it’s in a building next to a used car lot, but it was so cute inside and we loved our dinner. Would definitely go back.

I highly recommend the spicy shrimp scampi, the shrimp is cooked to perfection. The staff is top notch, always very friendly. So glad to have a good restaurant in the neighborhood!

We were seated on time, and the table and chairs were comfortable, not cramped for our group. Our server was engaging and attentive. The owners came around several times to chat and check on our group. The food was amazing...huge fresh salads, and entrees that were cooked to perfection, sized to require boxes to take home. Cristo's is a wonderful restaurant, and we will definitely be back!

Loved the Margherita pizza, the Chicken Milanese Salad, and the Fettucine with Marinara. It was lunch and we were driving, so we did not try anything from the bar, but it looked awesome. Highly recommend!
