We've only been there twice now, once more recently for takeout pizza which we liked quite a bit from our previous visit. The price is right and decent size pie, recommend the sausage pizza. Our first visit recently drew us in as my wife saw they offered some fried whole belly clams. My reputation precedes me and I'm a sucker for these specialties. We called ahead to confirm and they had them for us as an early appetizer. Drinks were expensive there, Maine Lunch for $15 is outrageous but the house wine was reasobable and ample. Located right off of Route 53 and plenty of parking. Unassuming building style but the staff we encountered were friendly. read more

We were a party of 6. First time visiting this restaurant. Our waiter was great. He was friendly and knowledgeable about the dishes offered. The tables had white linens on them and looked very pretty. Everyone had a delicious meal. I wish I could've finished my meal but I was too full as was everyone else. We all went home with leftovers for lunch the next day We will definitely be back . They also had $1 oysters that night and $1 chicken wings. Soup of the day was lemon artichoke read more

Excellent food and service. Always a pleasure to dine there! We dine here regularly and we look forward to our visits.

Lovely dinner with friends several weeks ago on a Saturday night. Food and service were excellent - we all agreed we'd definitely go back. Plan to get there early or make reservations - it gets crowded. read more

Great Food! Friendly , personable waiters, great atmosphere for a large group or an intmate dinner

I have been visiting this restaurant for over 10 years and it also always wonderful with the great food and attentive staff.

A friend and I dined at Christina's a few nights ago. I ordered the $48 ribeye special. I am always extremely specific with how I want my steak cooked, which is as raw as possible. Always. I also ordered mashed potatoes and butternut squash for my sides. My steak arrived medium well. Instead of the mashed, I received french fries. The butternut squash was not edible. The only thing on my plate that I ate, were the fries, so I was thankful that I did not send them back. When our waitress came to check on us, she looked at my steak and said that it was actually cooked medium. I explained to her that I had ordered it as rare as possible. She agreed that I had and then asked if I wanted to take my uneaten steak home. Umm no. My friend ordered the chicken parmigiana which was lacking both cheese and sauce. Since this is the second time that they have not cooked my steak as ordered, I will not be back to this establishment. read more

Went here on a Saturday night for dinner. Went on the early side and was able to get seated quickly. Our service was great, we sat in the bar area and had a few people keeping an eye on us. It was mainly an older crowd, not a ton of families. We ordered the Apple something salad and that was good. Homemade dressing, fresh ingredients, and yummy. We ordered the coconut crusted chicken for the meal and it was over cooked. It looked overcooked/burned so we asked the waitress if this was normal and she said yes. Not a fan. The other chicken dish was pretty good. Overall, good service, food was fine. read more

The butternut squash ravioli are delicious. The chicken piccata and scallops lobster corn risotto were also yummy. There is a bar in back we ate in restaurant. We will definitely be back. read more

We hosted an important family lunch at Christina's and it was perfect! The owner met with us in advance and made us feel right at home. She gave wonderful recommendations and took care of absolutely everything. The space was set up and ready for us early. The food was absolutely delicious! The baked haddock was the best I've ever had and I had to take some chicken, broccoli ziti home with me. The owner was on site for the whole event and gave it her personal attention and touch the whole time. From beginning to end the whole event exceeded our expectations. Our family is so grateful to the owner, chef and the whole team at Christina's for such a special event. We can't wait to return for dinner! read more

Last night was my first time here after driving by the place for years! We sat at a table by the bar which was very cozy. Both meals were amazing, I had the baked scrod which had a crabmeat stuffing, with garlic mashed potatoes and sautéed vegetables for sides. The potatoes were creamy and delicious, the vegetables were surprisingly good and I am not the biggest veggie eater. The fish was made perfectly! It has buttery breadcrumbs on top and had so much flavor with the crabmeat on top. My friends steak tips were cooked perfectly to how she ordered them. Service was super friendly and personable. Dessert included homemade pistachio ice cream which was delicious, and paired with a fudgey flourless chocolate cake. read more

Food was good , best swordfish my husband ever had. Service was just ok. Waitress never told us the special "swordfish" was 44.00 a plate. A bit of sticker shock when bill came. Prime rib was good but also not really a special at 33.00. Also waitress never came to check on how dinner was or offer second drink till we were through We were there at 5:00 pm on Saturday night so it was busy but not mobbed. read more

From the service to the delicious food. They always have creative specials. It's a hidden gem in Pembroke

Look forward to the daily specials. The food is cooked to perfection and love the seasonal vegetables.

Yikes. Shrimp changed. Cobb salad came with a 1/2 boiled egg. Salmon was fatty, which is super hard to do. Come on Christina's, times are tough but don't sacrifice the product. read more

6/20/24, we are having a heat wave, there was no air condionting , they said it broke, they could of put fans out, the chicken was dry, I asked for more gravy the waitress said she would have to charge me for it, my husbands steak was the worst cut of meat and was rubbery. the vegtable melody was ice cold, left overs at best.People of a cettwn age would not notice these things, but we are not,also the place smells like an old sock. I would not come back or advise anyone go there.Revamp, renovate, and get a good chef. read more

While we have enjoyed a few good meals here in the past and the service at the bar (where we almost always sit) is always fantastic, I must state that every time we go here, there is an odd smell in this restaurant. I think that if it was given a thorough cleaning (bleach, etc) the smell might go away? Just a suggestion.... it is not a pleasant smell......... other than that, we have had pleasant experiences there. read more

Sirloin steak with garlic mash and vegetables was delicious. Onion rings on top were a nice touch. My mom had kid's chicken parmigiana which was good and the perfect size. Service was very accommodating and friendly. They had some water leaks from the rain they need to fix. Overall nice meal. read more

Not sure who the new chef is but the food remains awesome. Great new additions to the menu. The oldies but goodies are there too. This place knows how to keep steady business while other places go through ups and downs. The regulars have a gold mine. Still the best bartenders on the south shore. Good job guys. read more

Went there on a recommendation for the brick oven pizza but instead we got seduced by the nice sounding specials. Our fried clams appetizer had a light crust but half the clams inside were as tough as inner tube rubber. Our Chicken Orvietto with Artichokes had good flavor but at $24 we should have gotten more than two measly chunks of artichoke, and when we were finished there was a pool of water sitting in the bottom of the dish. So, this shared meal amounted to one fried clams appetizer, one chicken and pasta entree, one glass of wine and two 12 oz glasses of beer on tap.. oh, and a $3.00 "convenience fee" for putting it on our card. Total before tip... $83.00. We should have gone with the pizza. read more

Sat and ate on the bar side and it was great. Cozy atmosphere, really nice and attentive staff. Shrimp scampi flatbread pizza is yummy, and the fryed calamari is not the frozen cheap kind, fresh and tasty read more

Food is always fresh and delicious, very generous portions, great adult beverages, nightly specials usually offered, awesome home made desserts if you still have room! Super friendly and attentive wait staff. Pub at the back of restaurant with a separate menu. Nice atmosphere but like most popular restaurants , gets pretty noisy during peak hours, well worth it though. Highly recommended! read more

Will NEVER be back. We always give a place 3 tries, but Christinas was a strike out. We went this past Friday night with friends. Had a reservation and they could not find it...then said oh we have one for the right time and number of people as you are saying so this must be yours. We finally were seated after having to wait, which was fine. It all went downhill from there. Our waitress was loud, rude and completely unhelpful when asked about things on the menu and about certain drinks. Once the drinks arrived, they were not very good. Either much too strong or too weak. Both kill a drink, that goodness I got wine. We then put in our orders, which she got two wrong and when the food arrived all the veggies were cold and one meal cold. She had no response to the cold veggies, but did take the cold meal back. By the time the meal came back to the table everyone else was just about finished and the meal was steaming, dried out and non edible. She wanted to know if they wanted to take the meal home!!! Really, the meal was non edible at the restaurant what makes her think it would be better the next day. She did end up taking the meal off but gave no apology or was there something else she could offer this person. This is just not a place you want to spend your money. There are too many nice places to waste your tine on a place like Christinas. read more

Hi just want to reach out to the folks at Christina's and say thanks for a wonderful dinner tonight. A great family style dinner. I wish other restaurants would do the same thing read more

Food is good but not amazing and the service has always been "so so" every time we've gone. Recently we went on a Saturday night around 6:30. It was busy but not crazy and the experience took about 2 hours because we had to flag down the waitress every time we needed anything. We were non existent, even more frustrating when you have a 7 and 10 year old with you. There are better options in the area. read more

Went to Christina's for the first time yesterday after getting a giftcard for an early Christmas gift. The restaurant was very festive and nicely decorated. The bread was amazing, with a great cranberry margarita. I had the lobster&shrimp tagliatelle which was amazing with HUGE pieces of lobster. The sea scallops and pork tenderloin were also big hits. I got to try some toffee that was for sale by MacSweets Gourmet (it was amazing) and bought 3 jars both for gifts and for myself. Overall great experience and I will be returning for sure! read more

We were very pleased at Christina's. My wife enjoyed her Chicken, Broccoli and Penne. I the Shrimp Scampi. Large piping hot shrimp with a light sauce was sublime. Our daughter devoured the pizza as it was perfectly cooked and had a very pleasant taste. Service was outstanding, even when our daughter spilled her juice. They quickly came to her aid. Prices were reasonable and atmosphere was quiet and relaxing. While not ideal for families it accommodated our small family very well. read more

Great restaurant specializing in Italian fare.Very popular with locals.We usually go with friends once or twice a month.Salads are great also.I usually order something different every time I go but the Chicken Braciolettine(sp?) is one of my favorites.Very generous portions so you might be to full to try the specialty desserts,like I usually am.Full bar featuring a nightly "specialty" drink(typically pricey). Nice atmosphere,dark but not too dark.Sinatra type music in the background.Deceivingly ample seating room,probably not a good atmosphere for kids.The hostess and wait staff are very friendly and accommodating,,,we usually tip in the 25% range. This may not be the very best Italian food I've ever had but It's definitely high up on the list! *recently added menu item:CRISPY chicken Marsala,highly recommended! read more

Clearly the best restaurant in Pembroke. Kerry and Amanda are the heart and soul of this refreshing, delectable restaurant. Whether you dine in or get take out, it never disappoints. Our hands down favorite spot! The waitstaff are beyond efficient and kind as well! Don't miss out! read more

Has been awhile since I've been here...it's as good as I remember it to be! Went last weekend & had a wonderful experience! Great food & outstanding service!!! Always feel welcomed by the friendly staff. I definitely won't wait so long to return! read more

So after 27 years of living close by, my wife and I decided to finally try Christina's. Wow, were we surprised! Just enjoyed the Veal Chop on the specials and my wife had the Chicken Marsala. Both dishes were amazing! The veal was cooked to perfection sided with garlic mashed and a medley of seared Brussels sprouts and carrots. The chicken was breaded perfectly and the Marsala sauce had just the right touch of sweetness. We will be sure to make Christina's a regular dining spot from now on! read more

Great dinning experience. I enjoyed the baked scrod, it was moist flavorful and generous portion. The blueberry crostata was a perfect finish to the evening. read more

OMG! Just went here the other night with 2 girlfriends and was very surprised of how it was as the reviews are not that great. The bread is amazing and I love that they leave a huge dish of Parmesan cheese to add to the olive oil :) We all ordered different things and tried each others plates. I had the scallop casserole with a side of risotto. Both were cooked perfectly and they gave you huge scallops that were sweet and cooked to perfection. The risotto was creamy and smooth. One friend had the pork tenderloin which was cooked very nicely and was very moist. The other had the eggplant Parmesan that just melted in your mouth. After such a great meal and with plenty of leftovers, we all ordered a dessert. I got the apple crostada with cinnamon ice cream..died and went to heaven. The other 2 got the white chocolate cheesecake and lemon custard with raspberry sauce. All in all the cheesecake was better than the pudding. I would definitely return as I enjoyed the food thoroughly and the prices were reasonable. read more

The food was fantastic. The service was poor. I went with a group of friends on a Monday night. Before placing our drink orders as we were sitting down, we asked if we could split the bill a couple ways (it's always easier to do this before ordering everything! I used to waitress and I always appreciated when people gave me the heads up. We asked at the beginning to make it easier for her). Her response was, "That's kind of a pain in the ass" with an annoyed look on her face. Oh?.... Im sorry but aren't you in the service industry? Isn't that your, uh, JOB? She was not friendly for the entire evening we were there. Other than that, the food was fantastic. It was my first time coming here and even though the service was bad, I'm willing to go back and try again because the pasta dishes were very well made. Hopefully I'll get a nicer waitress next time! read more

I have always had great food at Christina's! Amazing service and amazing calamari!! The specials are always fabulous and they have really great desserts! If you're looking for a well rounded meal this is a great restaurant for that! read more

Christina's restaurant is one of my favorite places to eat out at!! Great place to eat lunch and / or dinner at. Great for families, get together, and family outings, as well as date night, or just a place to eat at when you want to have a peaceful evening. I love eating out here with my family and grandparents. We come here from time to time. The staff are really friendly! Which, I'm pretty sure a family runs this business. I highly recommend the bread with oil as well as French fries. The ambiance is beautiful and peaceful. But, sometimes busy, with an ok noise level. Like I said, this is one of my favorite restaurants!! read more
