User Reviews for Christo's ristorante

As for the positives, an incredible value. The food was extremely reasonable and the service was pretty attentive. After reading the reviews, I expected a high quality ristorante that people were raving about featuring authentic northern italian food. The choices were good typical "american" italian fare, such as Caesar salad (not really italian, but everyone always expects it), saltimbocca, penne pomodoro, etc. I really missed seeing an arrugula salad, more interesting antipasti, risotto, gnocchi, etc. I had the Veal Saltimbocca which was good. I guess for a "ristorante", I was thinking soups, salads, and more courses, which is more familiar to me, e.g. salad, soup, small portions of pasta/risotto, with secondi entrees of lamb, veal, seafood, followed by an italian dessert (tiramisu is a little overplayed, perhaps a nice italian fruit tart, sorbetto, etc.). Contrasted with the crumby chain italian-american restaurants (Maggiano's, Macaroni Grill), this place is a gem. Compared to other northern italian ristoranti, it leaves something to be desired, but overall a good place with reasonable food at great prices.
Pros: Great value, reasonable food, good service
Cons: Ordinary menu, relatively average fare
