    It’s always a treat to go to Christini’s. Been going there since they opened in 1984. Friendly owners and staff provided excellent service and their Veal dishes are second to none. Dariusz on the accordion can play almost any song request. Can’t wait to go again!

    The meal and service, once arriving at our table, were wonderful as usual; however, we were not seated until after 6:30 when our reservation was for 6:00 and made several months in advance. Also, if the restaurant is going to state no children under 6, then they should adhere to their policy.

    Thank you so much for your feedback. I do apologize for the delayed reservation. It seems you dined on Christmas Eve, in which local traffic delayed several guests on our first seating. It is a difficult day to adhere to our late arrival policy as it was a special celebration for most guests. As for the child policy, we do make exceptions Thanksgiving and Christmas Eve so families can enjoy the holidays together. I hope this did not interfere with your overall experience. We truly work hard to ensure we cater to each and everyone who chooses Christini's as their dining destination.

    We love to try new fine dining restaurants around the country. Christini’s looked like it would be great but we were sadly very disappointed! The bread and eggplant spread were very good!! We had the appetizer trio which was decent. The meatball to me was very mushy. Calamari was good. My husband ordered osso buco and I had veal Marsala. I had to order a side of pasta with my meal. Unfortunately, both of our meals were drowned in sauce. Even my pasta was basically swimming and we both felt the sauces we over cooked or thickened too much. Almost sticky. We eat at expensive restaurants quite frequently and don’t mind paying for a good meal but this was not worth the price. Beware of the hype and previous reviews.
