    Mushroom pizza was very flavorful and cooked perfectly. Prices on beer were great. Would highly recommend for both their pizza and pasta. Portion size is good as well.

    The food is great anytime - but we usually wait until the weekly specials are posted. There's usually a pasta (sometimes homemade), meat, seafood, appetizer and a delicious dessert not normally on the menu. We ordered the spicy chicken riggies in vodka sauce last night. Delicious! We've never had a bad meal here since Chris took over the restaurant!

    Another great dinner at Cristo's tonight. Carly our server is definitely point with service and so personable. Our starters included bruschetta and the meatballs. Both delicious. Dinners included three wood fired pizzas, chicken parm and chicken marsala. Everyone was happy with apps and dinner. Love the service and atmosphere at Cristo's.

    Everyone was friendly and helpful and smiling. The food was great! I ordered the wedge salad and my usual favorite, gnocci with pesto cream. Other family members ordered and loved gnocchi marinara and prosciutto and peas alfredo, with the proscuitto on the side. I put in on my food and it was such a great addition. The cheesecake dessert was also top notch.
