    Absolutely incredible place. The food is amazing, the attention to detail on everything, and the staff makes you feel like royalty. My only complaint is there was a VERY obnoxiously loud table next to ours that kind of took away from the experience. I would have kicked them out. It was very rude and annoying. But the staff and restaurant as a whole was amazing.

     I was so pleasantly surprised by how wonderful this restaurant was! It was a reservation for a business meeting, and I found the restaurant through OpenTable, which had good ratings, but when I got there, we were greeted by the owner and welcomed in, the bartender sat and chatted with us after making our drinks which never happens and the wait staff have been with them for over 20 years as have the kitchen staff. It’s like walking back in time where all of the wait staff are dressed in tuxedos and working together, helping each other, and providing amazing service, and they knew the menu inside out, and every recommendation was exactly right.  I love Italian food and I would say this was on power with what we had in Italy. I cannot recommend it highly enough.

    First time at restaurant and it was very busy with a 1/2 hour wait in spite of reservations, but understandable based on Christini's long history and reputation. Once seated, the experience exceeded expectations. The waiters were all dressed in tuxedos, very attentive and knowledgeable with Christini's food and drink menu's. The mood and ambience of the restaurant was elevated by the accordion player who joyfully played requests as he moved from table to table. The food was top notch, and now in my own top five Italian restaurants that I've visited in the United States. The evening ended with my wife receiving a beautiful long stemmed rose, which was definitely a classy touch. I highly recommend Christini's to anyone who enjoys world class Italian dining!👍🏻

    We have eaten at Christini’s for years, always having excellent food and service. Last night, we were celebrating my friend’s 8-year-old son’s birthday, and when we checked in for our 8PM reservation, we were told that the table before us hadn’t finished. When, at 8:15, we asked about the status of our table because our 8-year-old birthday boy was getting antsy (and so we’re we), we were coldly told that the table before us hadn’t yet ordered dessert and that it could be 25-30 more minutes, which would be a full 40-45 mins after our reservation time. I nicely told the host that this wasn’t appropriate, but he had no sympathy, telling me that they block 2.5 hours for each dinner. This is outrageous for many reasons, not least because if one cancels a reservation, they’re charged a large amount per person. My friend then went inside and talked to the host, and after seeing someone slip him money to get in early, told him that she was outraged and that if we were expected to show up on time under threat of being charged, they should be on time for us too. We were then seated within 15 mins, which was a full 30 minutes after the reservation time. The food was delicious, as always, but our waiter was initially rude but became much friendlier as the evening went on, and the rest of the servers seemed discombobulated. I would never recommend anyone to go to this restaurant due to their reservation practices and the obvious bribery occurring. I understand being seated a short bit after a reservation, but not 30 or 45 minutes. There was an obvious indifference and egotistical attitude towards customers that was uniquely off-putting.
