First to visit after a soccer game, and was excellent! We were seated very quickly for it being on a Saturday. The service was simply amazing! The appetizer was the perfect size, perfect price, perfect taste! Both pizzas we totally awesome!! It had been forever having a real pizza and well worth the price. I wish we would had ordered one to go!!

With 4.5/5, This place seems to be doing pretty well – It looked absolutely beautiful going in (the music was a bit loud, but ah well.) The host said they were closing soon so they were keeping everyone on one side of the restaurant – this was odd, but understandable, albeit a bit crowded. (an hour before close.) We opened up the menu as usual and got bread, salads, and sodas. I ordered the cheese tortellini carbonara with peas & my other half ordered the penne al a vodka with prosciutto. It sounded absolutely great. It came out and it was piping out – steaming. Awesome, right? Not really. We’re both pretty bad about not wanting to say anything about food, but less than 1/2 way through the waitress (who was very nice) came over because she saw us awkwardly picking at our food, and asked if anything was wrong. We told her – There was no flavor and I heard another table say there was no flavor as well – it tasted like water. Both of the dishes tasted almost exactly the same, except a tiny little bit of what tasted like pink sauce on the penne dish. A little bit, otherwise – The food was extremely oily, it was just piling on top of the sauce, the water & oil was separating, and our stomachs were hurting. HURTING. Hurting like when you eat pizza, but minus the bread. It felt like we drank vegetable oil. I ended up filling my diet coke up with carbonara sauce, luckily in an almost empty restaurant. They ended up comping our meal, which was nice, we tipped the server, she did absolutely nothing wrong – I ended up being in the bathroom upchucking a bit more and a few times on the way back from the walk from harris teeter. My boyfriend was sick, but not throwing up, and I’m not going to go into detail on the kind of sick he was. I don’t know what happened this night given the ratings, but this was bad. Just make the drive to somewhere else. Order in. If you’re not going to do that, take tums, dramamine, miralax with immodium to balance it out, and maybe a fleet.

Ordered a Sicilian pizza Togo. Wouldn’t stop here again, was visiting a friend in Holly springs and didn’t want a chain spot, but wish I would’ve just got Domino’s. Pizza was slim on ingredients, sauce fine, crust below par, cheese fine. If you’re going here for pizza maybe try the regular one? Or go somewhere else. Service was great though!

We just enjoyed our scrumptious lunch that we picked up at Cristo’s this afternoon. The chicken Parmesan was delicious! The serving size is great—I’ll have more than one meal to enjoy from my entree! My husband had the sausages and my daughter had the meatballs. We will definitely be back regularly for more!

Casual Italian cafe with generous portions, delicious food, and the service is always friendly and welcoming. Todd took great care of us, even when we had to make a change in plans due to a work emergency and have some meals set up for take out. Lovely to have this great restaurant in the neighborhood!

My absolute favorite Italian restaurant in the area. Since moving here from Brooklyn, NY several years ago, I can say the food is always delicious and the service is super friendly. Cristo’s has a quaint little neighborhood feel. My family and I come here a few times a month. The owner is very hands on and is always helping out at the front of the house. They also have a very busy take out business.

The food was awesome and Todd was our server and he was the best server we had in years! So good to meet a down to earth person who we loved talking to. We will be back as long as we have him as our server!

I had been really wanting to try this place. We ordered pizza delivery one a day that was raining really heavily. After I placed my order through the app, the restaurant called and said they didn’t have a driver. They seemed to have plenty of staff when I got there, but who am I to say how they do things? After all of that, I wasn’t a big fan of the pizza. I will give them another chance some day. I’d like to try the dine in Italian food.
