    My husband and I enjoyed our 30th-anniversary dinner at Cristo's Wood-Fired Pizza and Pasta. Everything was wonderful. We received a warm personal welcome from the owners and servers. We ordered an appetizer, wine, and entrees and shared a slice of decadent chocolate cake. If you have not had an opportunity to visit Cristo's, be sure to try it out!

    The food was SO good! And all of our Celiacs ate safely and deliciously. Fantastic portions, great flavor, and the service was excellent too. Don’t know what to expect, as it’s in a building next to a used car lot, but it was so cute inside and we loved our dinner. Would definitely go back.

    We have had dinner here several times, the food is always wonderful! I highly recommend the spicy shrimp scampi, the shrimp is cooked to perfection. The staff is top notch, always very friendly. So glad to have a good restaurant in the neighborhood!

    Food and service was great but it was very noisy. Full restaurant and high ceilings amplified the noise.

    Our party of 6 had a great experience at Cristo's. We were seated on time, and the table and chairs were comfortable, not cramped for our group. Our server was engaging and attentive. The owners came around several times to chat and check on our group. The food was amazing...huge fresh salads, and entrees that were cooked to perfection, sized to require boxes to take home. Cristo's is a wonderful restaurant, and we will definitely be back!
