The food was amazing!!! I got the rigatoni al a bolognese and was full of flavor with the whipped ricotta as the extra delightful touch. I also tried some of the pizza and chicken parmesan, and both were incredible. We will definitely be returning for more meals. This place is definitely worth a visit, and you will be grateful you decided to eat at Cristo's Wood Fired Pizza and Pasta.
