This is not my First time visiting Café Cristina, Each and every time the meal and service is TOP notch. Although the meal's there are smaller portion that I would have desired, It's well prepared and always served with a smile. The Service Staff from the Waiter, Waitress to the Bus Boys are attentive but not overbearing. The Interior is quaint and clean and ample parking in front or rear of the building. I would recommend you try this place for a Great Meal with family or friends read more

Every time I come to visit my Grandmother I take her out to dinner here. The food is always good and the atmosphere is warm and inviting. Love Christina's! read more

Tonight I had what I felt was the best meal I've had in a restaurant in years. First I want to say that our server was so great - cute, funny and prompt. I almost always get the farfalle but tonight I decided to get a chicken dish, which I never do. Ordered the Coconut Chicken but asked if I could get the lobster and corn risotto instead of potato and veggie. (They are always accommodating when I've asked for a substitution and just adjust the charge a bit.) Anyway, I could not believe how good this meal was. So many restaurant meals now are bland and tasteless with barely any FLAVOR! I'm not even a big fan of chicken but this will be my go-to choice from now on when I'm at Christina's. The friend I went with got the lobster casserole and she loved it too. read more

went for dinner ordered the baked scrod it was abolutely awful. the food was nursing home style. the fish was so overcooked it was actually hard and dry and did not taste fresh. it was cooked with no seasonings, butter, olive oil, nothing. the crumbs were not cooked at all. mashed potatoes thick, gluey and tasteless and had some broccoli with no seasoning. after multiple requests for bread we gave up. water was never refilled. i told the waitress the meal was inedible and asked for a substitution she just said "no" huge waste of an evening out. left without eating anything and stopped at a wonderful restaurant on the way home. this was a truly disgusting experience. read more

Bashkalov Babadook can't speak for the sea food or anything else here. What B. Babadook CAN say is that the bred here is the best he's ever had. It's seriously excellent. I almost put myself in a bread-coma. The bread with the dipping sauce is simply out of this world. It's worth going there for that alone! Pizza is great too. Restaurant itself is a little dire but the atmosphere suffices. Seriously, get that bread! B. Babadook was a big big fan of that bread! read more

We continue to go here as often as we can. Probably our favorite place in the entire area. It's our go-to restaurant especially for special occasions. I just recently learned they've got a video on YouTube. Check them out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H_OeeF4yyDA read more

While I think the food is great, I have to give only three stars because the service is slow and unprofessional. Especially at the bar. I find it annoying when, I haven't even finished my order by selecting what pasta I would like or adding a vegetable I would like with my meal, and the server is rushing away... hello can I finish ordering please, or am I just going to get what the server feels like giving me? Wish they'd deliver the food as fast as they try to escape when you're placing your order. Also, if they would ask you if you need anything else before rushing away, would be nice...like another drink or some grated cheese or ketchup... that is pretty much waitressing 101, isn't it?? read more

So we had a function there one day, I was charged for a certain amount of people and swear I was given way less, than the second time we had a function we ordered out portions wicked small I'm saying 1/2 piece of chicken for the chicken parmigiana. We ordered for 20 people and no one took large amounts and we didn't even have enough,for everyone!! When I called manger asked what I wanted how she could fix this when I said I'll come get another she told me the kitchen couldn't do it. I was also hung up on. Not sure myself or family will attend again read more

6/26/18 Hottest day of the year so far. NO AIR CONDITIONING. Food very bland. Not worth the cost. Won't ever go again. read more

I ate there last night and got the $24.00 Sirloin Steak and added the side of Risotto for $3.25. I asked to box up the delicious food and I was very excited to have another meal tonight. I opened up the take out food when I got home and I had an entire order of someones ribs and that poor person must have got my food... Really Christina's, that just doesn't make me want to come back. read more

Couldn't find a menu for this place online anywhere and after eating there I know why. They had only one gluten free option on the whole menu. So I ordered that because I had no choice. The food took forever and while we we're waiting they never refilled our drinks or came over. There was 7 adults and 4 kids in our party. The place was so loud we couldn't talk to the person next to you let alone across the table. Then when the food finally does come out everyones food is cold. They reheated a few of the meals but I was starving by then so I ate mine cold. Our server said the steam table broke and thats why the sides were cold, but it wasn't just the sides. They took the drinks off the bill. Only we didn't have any drinks other then a few sodas. So lame. $200 bill for the worst meal ever. Never again eat at this place. read more

A big thank you to Phantom Gourmet for featuring this place on a recent episode and thus inspiring me to go. Delicious, homemade pasta. Want to go back sometime on a Tuesday - seafood special night. AWESOME homemade desserts - probably ever meal should end with chocolate cake with a peppermint mousse center. One thing to note - it seemed a little nicer/more formal inside than the phantom made it seem. I was wearing jeans and a tank and felt slightly underdressed (but staff was super-nice / definitely wasn't an issue for them). read more

I've been here probably a few dozen times at this point because I live right around the corner.... and I've NEVER had a bad meal here. Honestly, it's probably like 4.4... but I rounded up because the employees are super nice and they always treat me right and serve up quality food. I'd be lying if I said the food was amazing, but it's satisfying and ranges from good to excellent depending on the dish... But it's consistent, both in service and food. The salads are really good and fresh and they have some interesting ones, like apples, goat cheese, nuts, etc.. that kinda thing. They have good fresh seafood, and italian dishes that hit the spot! The bar is section is cozy and comfortable.. The dining room is comfortable and not bad at all, but it's not like amazing atmosphere... So overall, I'd highly recommend this place if you just want to go someplace with good service, good food and a fairly robust menu... and the desserts are awesome - I almost ALWAYS get dessert here.. I love going with a group and getting like 5 desserts and sharing them all, it's so freakin' good!! read more

Love this place. Been many, many times and never had a bad experience. Their eggplant Parmesan is fantastic as is everything else I have tried! Way better than going to some chain Italian place! read more

Was looking forward to this visit . Service was really good . We thought the food was just not good at all . Scallops cooked like rubBer bands and the veal special was bland . For the price much better options out there . Too bad I really wanted to like this place. . read more

This is my family's favorite restaurant in the area. Fantastic Italian food, cozy dining area, and friendly family atmosphere. I have never had a bad dish here, everything is delicious. Desserts are also delicious, our favorite is the bavarian cheesecake they make for us. Price isn't bad either. You have to try this place! read more

I suggested this restaurant for a party of eight friends as it has always been good. Seven of the eight meals were terrible- the seafood tasteless, chicken dishes dry, and one so unappetizing looking it was difficult to get by that. I told the waitress of our unfortunate meal and even sent a letter later on. Never will we return! read more

Mother's Day Brunch - What a horrible rip-off this was! Never again. My family and I went to Christina's today for brunch - 12:30 pm reservation. Were not seated til around 1:00 PM, although there were plenty of tables. Many people waiting to be seated were also frustrated. I've had several good dinners at Christina's over the past few years, but this Buffet Brunch priced at $27.99 was the absolute worst. The "buffet" if you can call it that was set up on folding tables in another room. There was no attempt at even making the tables look presentable. There was a soggy fruit sales, some sliced beef and ham, salad, homes fries, lousy looking pancakes, eggs benedict, scrambled eggs some bacon, and sausage. And another separate table in the corner with desserts - which looked equally bad as the main buffet table. After returning to our table after visiting the buffet room, we began to eat and realized most everything we were eating that should've been hot was at room temperature, including eggs, eggs benedict, home fries, etc. Plus we had to get our own water and coffee from another buffet table. Fortunately, our waitress was very good and got coffee for us, which was again not hot. There were no water glasses available on the table so she had to bring us water, as well. After the "maIn course," we went back to try the desserts -- and they were pretty much all gone. There were a few chocolate mouses and some slivers of cake left. This was a VERY EMBARRASSING and DISAPPOINTING Mother's Day event for my family.. And, did I mention $27.99!! This was barely worth $7.99. I'm shocked that Christina's would treat customers this way. They clearly do not serve a brunch buffet regularly -- and just did not know what they were doing or how to price it appropriately. Or how to make a buffet table look appealing. Many other customers were clearly upset and shocked. read more

The owners of Christina's are truly passionate about their jobs. They are dedicated to making every customer happy and full. The service and food never disappoints! I highly recommend Christina's read more

It was my 80 year old grandmother's birthday and she wanted to come here. Judging by the average age of the clientele I now understand why. The restaurant smelled like old fish. Worst shrimp scampi I've ever had. Bland, tasteless and overcooked. I may have to play sick if my grandmother wants to go again next year. read more

I had the swordfish special the other night. It was 1 lb of swordfish! I split it with a friend and we both had leftovers to take home. The fish was moist and cooked to perfection. The server was wonderful. She was very helpfully and familiar with all the menu items. The busboys are adorable and always attentive to filling your water or taking away dirty dishes. I will definitely be going back! read more

Christina's is one of the restaurants that never disappoints! We often go when neither one of us has a specific taste for something, because their menu is great and there is something for everyone! They have nice nightly special offerings too. Friendly and attentive staff, consistently, from the time you enter the door and throughout your meal. The atmosphere is cozy and there is no bad seat. I love a restaurant that is nice and toasty warm in the winter with no drafts or bad seat near the washrooms. A couple favorites are the shrimp scampi - one of the best I've tasted, and the coconut crusted chicken if you are in the mood for a simply delicious, different, comfort food! Other notables are the caesar salad and chicken parmesan. Whenever we're at Christina's, I look around and everyone else's dishes look great to me - I think this is always a good sign! If you like creme brûlée, you'll love this one and be pleased to know that the portion is quite large and great for sharing! Christina's is a five star restaurant in their category. Which I consider this the "go to" category: solidly great food, super staff, nice atmosphere and well priced. This is the way to do that! read more

Wonderful atmosphere and very attentive staff. Food and service is excellent! Would recommend to anyone visiting the Pembroke area

To start- the food is good - the hostess is AWFUL!!! We were told a. 40 minutes wait after 1 1/2 hours of not being seated we were not happy. She had no idea of what she was doing! After 2 hours we were seated & would have never waited- food is good but not that good. They did nothing for us. Spend your money elsewhere! read more

Christina's used to be one of our favorites, we tried it shortly after the new management had taken ownership and it was not very good. We took a hiatus for about a year and retried it last night... here is the recap: Host - I came in ahead of a party of three woman, he took them first and completely ignored my request for a table of 5. Then tried to stuff us all into one booth. After I said that would not work... told us.. He forgot about the 'Godfather Table'. Sorry but the dining room is not that big that you can forget about a table large enough for 5 or more. Temperature - HOT - 90 degrees outside and 95 inside - oppressively hot to the point the employees busing tables were fanning themselves with napkins. Asked about the air several times and each time was told - 'I'm not sure what's going on" Service - SLOW - we waited 20 minutes for drinks and 20 minutes for the bill. Food Quality - BAD - I ordered the scallops and risotto. It came with a weird brown sauce that was not described in the menu description. The risotto was as dense as sludge. It was described as lobster risotto but the lobster was microscopic and every bite I took had lobster shell in it. It looked like it had been made 6 hours earlier. My father had the chicken saltimbocca and visually was the most boring dish possible with the same weird brown sauce. There was one piece of chicken that had a tiny piece of cheese on it. Again, it did not match what was described in the menu. Lastly, my son ordered the chicken Parmesan and it was dry and practically not edible. It was fried beyond the point of tasting anything but like sawdust. Sadly, we say... we will never be going to Christina's again. read more

Great local restaurant! I've been here 3 times now. Comfortable booths, great staff, good selection of food, great atmosphere. Their mac and cheese is awesome but only available at the bar. No complaints about the other dishes I've had in the past (scallops and a burger). The bar its self is small so if you want to stop in and watch a game I wouldn't suggest it, especially because the TV is in the dead center of the bar and very small. I would suggest Christina's for a date night or other special occasion. read more

We have always enjoyed Christina's until the last few visits. We loved their Burrata, but recently the serving size of the wonderful cheese has almost been cut on half. Certainly not a $14 salad anymore! Very disappointed as we suggested to our friends try it on our visit last night, and they actually said it was just ok. Another visit before on Saturday night, the Prime Rib Special was so tough, I could barely cut it. I mentioned it to the waitress and she just shrugged her shoulders and walked away. I regret that I didn't send it back,but hate holding up dinner. So for now, it's off our list. read more

Christina's is now offering Lunch 11am to 3pm only open during the week for takeout or there are a few tables if you want to eat in. Located in a separate location of the restaurant when you walk in on the left side. Offering various home made sandwiches, salads & drinks. I had a delicious turkey sandwich with fresh turkey, homemade stuffing & cranberry sauce. Most of the sandwiches are $9. I believe a great value for real food ! read more

Excellent food for a South Suburban restaurant with reasonable prices. Friendly, helpful staff. In addition to going there for dinner, we often go late in the evening for desert and brandy. Two things I would wish for was some outside seating for nice summer nights and a web site that they maintained with updated menus. read more

When you cal to place an order and the person answering the phone makes you feel like you are inconveniencing them it makes you not want to do business there. Sorry if wanting to give you my business is a problem for you. Won't try again. read more

My family has been dining at Christina's for many years now and they remain consistent offering great cuisine and a comfortable setting. Lobster and shrimp farfalle is a fan favorite as well as the crispy chicken Marsala. I also really enjoy their seasonal salad selections, drinks and specials. Desert is always unique and delicious. read more

Worst service I've had in a long time. The waitress we had would disappear for 20 minutes at a time. Food was slow to come out and my butternut squash ravioli were cool.. Luckily we took two cars so my wife could take the kids home while I hunted down the waitress for the check. (btw there were only 2 other tables in the place). Won't be back! read more

Honestly, I just don't get the appeal of this place. Have been there 4 times. Service is always slow, nothing special about the food. Tonight there were 3 adults and a child in our party. Told it was a 20 minute wait which turned out to be half hour. No big deal, but service was excruciatingly slow tonight. Asked if pizza order for the child could be expedited, told that wouldn't be a problem. When pizza didn't come after 35 minutes, we were told orders couldn't be split up for ordering. When adult entrees came, only 2 were brought to table. Waitress had forgot to put in the 3rd entree order. I said never mind, but she said it would be right out, it wasn't. We took it to go. The entire staff was frazzled because they were short in the kitchen. Perhaps they could have mentioned that when we first got there. Also, had cork or some residue in my wine. Had to ask for water refills. It wasn't the poor waitress' fault and she did comp the wine and entree. Won't be back read more

it seems like a new place, and not for the better...I've eaten here for years and it was always great. My wife and i have been back 3 times in the last 2 months or so (because it was so good before, we werent sure what happend) and it seems to get worse every time, over priced food and sub-par service arent a good mix...no more for me... read more

Service was ok , atmosphere was dark . The meal was low grade Italian, and the bill was outragouse .Two people 60.00 . Want real Italian food Go to lorenzo's in middleboro and the same exact meal 48.00 . and the food is real Italian at a bargan price. Mouth watering!!! read more

One of my favorite restaurants on the South Shore. Excellent food, reasonable prices, terrific waite staff. Kitchen very accomodating for special requests. It doesn't look like much from the outside, but the fiid is fabulous on the inside. read more

We visited Christina's last night for the first time. One word, Amazing. We can't wait to go back. We sat in the bar, which was cozy and private. The bartender was attentive and sweet. We originally went there for a special they were advertising but due to an allergy I have I couldn't have it. The chef was super accommodating and changed the entire dish so I could have what we originally went there for. I've never had such amazing service or kindness. Food was perfect. Definitely making this our "go to place" for now on. read more

Cafe Christina is a week night staple for my family and I. Their food is not fancy, it's pretty casual and simple dishes with a lot of Italian American and seafood options. My go to entree is usually the crispy chicken marsala or the pork tenderloin. Drinks are usually strong. Service can be lackluster at times and it seems like the waitstaff has a high turn around rate. The location of this restaurant is very close to my home so I frequent it pretty often, and I have a pretty solid experience every time I come here. read more

This is a great place for dinner for all groups of diners. Service and food is excellent! A wide variety of choices on the menu and seating is intimate. Don't be fooled by the other restaurants around that either have long waits or mediocre menus. read more

Had the coconut crusted chicken and it was by far the best chicken I have ever had! Tender, melt in your mouth, and very flavorful. We had the flourless chocolate baby cake with pistachio ice cream for dessert and it was to die for! And to top it all off we had the nicest waiter. Great food and great service, I can't wait to go back! read more
