We had a wonderful evening at Christini’s. The staff made our fine dining experience extremely memorable. There was an Italian guitarist that sang to us, which we enjoyed. The owner even came to our table and greeted us like we were family. The entire ambiance of the place resembled an old school Italian atmosphere. We almost forgot we were in the U.S. while dining here. Their water is even imported from Italy! We ordered the surf and turf. Hands down, best filet minot we’ve ever had and the lobster was top tier. Thank you to the owner and her staff for being so accommodating. We will be back.

We had our experience Tuesday as a date night, just the two of us. Impeccable service. Menu has fabulous variety of starters ( shrimp cocktail was delicious) and tantalizing entrees of pasta choices, chicken, steaks and, their specialties in veal. The bone-in veal chop is incredible. Our dining was so good, we went again the next night!

My wife and I went there this week for our Anniversary. To say that the entrance to this Restaurant, located in the corner of a strip mall in Florida is surprisingly simple and deceiving is an understatement. But once you open the door, you are transported back to a time when dining was truly an experience! Growing up in Brooklyn, and experiencing many restaurants like this one - I can truly say they have captured every nuance of dining on Mulberry street in NYC in the late 1950s. From the maître d’, who welcomes you, To the sommelier who helps you pair a wine for your entire from their extensive cellar, their goal is to make your experience nothing short of exceptional. Their menu has been designed to highlight And showcase Not only flavors, but cooking techniques, and includes intriguing combinations. Yes, this is an Italian restaurant, but it has a very unique French flair. After enjoying our welcome and complimentary warm bread basket , We chose a chilled jumbo shrimp cocktail, and Caprese salad to start. The shrimp were enormous and perfectly steamed while the Caprese had slightly grilled, and marinated tomatoes with a creamy burrata cheese that were very both pleasing to the pallet. For our entrée. We chose their signature 16 ounce veal chop and Seabass with a lobster risotto reduction. Both are amazing and while filling, very delicate. During our meal, we were serenaded by a strolling minstrel whose talent rivals that of any distinguished musician you have ever met as he is an accomplished concert pianist, and holds a doctorate in music. Hearing his accordion gently waft throughout the place was the perfect background for our conversation. We finished with their berry Tiramisu, which while not the traditional coffee flavor (Which they also have), Very light and refreshing. The cappuccino is served hot, extremely silky and flavorful. We ended our meal almost 3 hours later with Sambuca that was a very nice finishing touch. To say thank you for everything was simply not enough, as tge owner personally congratulated us on our special day! Don’t miss Christinis!!!!! Ciao!

Great restaurant, great service, and great food. “Try the veal, it’s the best in the city” quote from the God Father but in this case it’s true. And they didn’t disappoint. The waiter Attila was great. Great personality and we even had our own personal accordion Serenade, music to our request. Best we have experienced in Florida for Italian style. I highly recommend.

I had the pleasure of being treated to Christinis restaurant in Orlando by a company we do business with from Second Go, and wow—what an experience. This isn’t the kind of place I’d typically pick for myself (I’m more of a ball cap and shorts guy), but even though that dress code wouldn’t fly here, it was absolutely worth stepping out of my comfort zone. From the drinks to the appetizers, main course, and dessert—everything was top-notch. And the gentleman playing that rare, crazy-expensive accordion added a really unique touch to the atmosphere. If you’re thinking this place might be “too fancy,” you’re probably right—but that’s exactly what makes it special. It’s now going to be a yearly tradition for us. Highly recommend!

Celebrated my wife's 60th birthday with 40 people in the private dining area. What a great event! The food, service and atmosphere were outstanding. One of the options that we were given was to allow our guests to order off the menu. Most restaurants only offer a pre-selected menu for this number of people. I have to say, it was done with style and grace. No one was kept waiting and the courses were all timed perfectly. I heard nothing but rave reviews from our guests. The staff was there to serve and make this a memorable evening. I have not eaten here in years, but the quality and reputation continue to be outstanding. It exceeded all of our expectations as well as our guests. I highly recommend it.

What an awesome experience. From the second you enter you are transported to Italy. Absolutely beautiful decor! The service is absolutely top notch and some of the best I’ve ever had. They really know to make you feel spoiled and pampered as you enjoy this wonderful experience. Peter was absolutely amazing. The food was delicious, flavorful and authentic! We loved of calamari, veal and the shrimp scampi. They also make a wonderful espresso martini topped with a marshmallow. I can’t say enough about how fabulous the food and the service is here. Now be prepared to spend over 100 per person because it is a bit pricey. They also do have a dress code and do not serve children. That was a nice break in Orlando for an adult only night out. They also have a live accordion player that can play popular songs upon request. I highly recommend and would definitely go again. They have valet but there is plenty of free parking in the plaza.

Christinis is a world class experience from the multiple servers who never let your glass get empty to the long stem Red Rose given to all the ladies upon departure. The accordion player makes his rounds and while the Godfather song is the most requested he never fails to agree with a smile. The food is perfection every time.
