    Restaurant Week menu was great, with a lot of tasty choices. Service was excellent, as was the food. Dessert was lovely. Cocktails from the bar were well-made and not skimpy. Can't beat the price. Recommended and we'll be back.

    We went for restaurant week and it had the best menu I’ve seen of all the restaurants in Phoenix. The food was fabulous. He served a house wine and it was very good. And I am a little snobby about my wine.

    Super old school Italian restaurant that is family owned and in this location since 1987. You are warmly greeted and brought to your table where they bring fresh warm bread tucked into a linen and bread basket with pats of butter. The food is delicious and homemade. Recommend the veal meatballs appetizer and they use Schreiners sausage which we love. The shrimp in white wine over cheese ravioli was so good! Loved the lemon cake ~ like grandmas ice box cake back in the day. If you’re into aesthetics you will miss out on this gem because it’s got some funkiness to it but that’s what gives it that old school charm. The old music, mirrors, glass block all just transport you to something you just don’t find anymore. We really loved our date night here & will be back to try more!

    We arrived 10 min late and they were kind enough to take us still. The staff was kind, helpful, and friendly. Amazing food! I love an authentic Italian restaurant that has seafood and pasta. So delicious. Will come back!

    First time diners at Christo's. The staff and environment were very welcoming and friendly. Scott, our waiter, was attentive and a real professional. The food portions were large, to the point we had to take half home. The restaurant itself is well done with white cloth tablecloths and full place settings. The restaurant succeeds in pulling off a casual elegance. Aside from the size of the entrees, the seafood and veal were done to perfection, the escargot was delicious although with a little more garlic than I am accustomed to. The drinks from the bar were very well done and I was pleasantly surprised that they were able to make me a paper plane (which was well balanced and delicious). Overall great dining experience and while it was our first visit, it won't be our last. This is a real gem in Phoenix for Italian food
