This place is quite unassuming from the outside, and has small frontage so it’s easy to miss. I was visiting from out of town, so of course I read the Google reviews first. They were spot on. The food was very very good, and my server Elmer was super attentive and nice. I had Parmesan roasted cauliflower to start, and Veal Piccata for my main dish. They were both very good. You should try this place, and I will definitely hit it again when back in the area.

Thank God for the neighborhood restaurants that are convenient and good. Christina’s has been wrong a long time snd even though I rarely come I’m never disappointed! I had their specials roasted squash salad which was nice though a little heavy on the dressing. I also ordered the egg Parmesan which was delightful; plenty of sauce of you like it hearty. The bread is accompanied by a nice olive oil & Parmesan for dipping.

We called to have a large party come in for an early dinner and they accommodated very well. All the food was delicious and well prepared. Staff was attentive without being smothering…a rare skill! My only complaint is about parking. Parking is a premium since the free lot was full and the other lot was metered. Thankfully the first 2hrs are free. If we are back in the area, we will certainly return!

This is a beautiful hidden gem! I am a MoCo gal and this was mine and my family’s first time eating here. We enjoyed every bit of it all; the service, the food and the vibe was exceptional. Christian was our server and served us with care. It is nice to know that something so good and so close to home.

Excellent food and attentive friendly service at this cozy and charming spot. Wide variety of options with generous portions. Chocolate layer cake dessert was awesome. A great late night place as they are open until 10pm. Parking can be challenging, but use the County lot a mere 400 feet away.

The waiter Elmer was great and the atmosphere was nice. The lasagna was good, maybe it was my lack of knowing what real Italian lasagna tastes like, but I have had better. I also recognize that everyone’s pallet is different

We moved out of the area in 2019 and went back to Cristina tonight for the first time in 3 years, not realizing that the owner and staff had changed. We ordered crispy mozzarella, chicken piccata (which isn’t on the menu but our server said the chef could make it), and penne arrabbiata. The chicken piccata wasn’t breaded or crispy. The chicken was chewy and it, and the angel hair that came with it, lacked flavor. The penne arrabbiata wasn’t spicy. It resembled penne with stewed tomatoes on top. When we let our server know that our food wasn’t what we expected, he asked what we wanted and we got the pappardelle bolognese to-go. It had more flavor than the other two dishes, but the sauce was orange. The crispy mozzarella and complimentary bread with olive oil were the best things. The chef brought us a piece of tiramisu, which was very kind. We haven’t eaten it yet but it looks good. We appreciate the staff’s efforts to make things right, but, sadly, the food just didn’t live up to the bar that was set by Cristina’s previous owner and staff.
