    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.

    Amazing way to spend our anniversary and we were treated like royalty. It started with a card waiting at our table to wish us a happy anniversary, then the accordion player followed by a special dessert plate and finished with a rose for my wife. We received exceptional service and recommendations from Carlos throughout our meal. Food and drinks are top notch - recommend the caprese salad for appetizer and creme brulee for dessert. If I’m being picky, there were a few technical issues - the veal chop was a little tough and both main dishes could have used more seasoning to accentuate the flavors better.

    Fantastic service! Very attentive. Food was out of this world. They are known for their veal and it did not disappoint. A little noisy however that was because the patrons were all encouraged to have fun! My wife even got a rose at the end.

    If you want the best possible Italian restaurant family experience Christine‘s is it. From the moment you step in the atmosphere the staff, the food the accordion music everything put you in that special mode. None better. Every year when we come down from New York, we stop here and have never been disappointed.
