    chicken noodle soup
    Judy L.

    This is a gem, they have been around since 1987. This old world Italian eatery with a veal heavy menu, a formal dining room & a small bar. We had an extraordinary dining experience from the entire staff. They serve fresh bread made from a local bakery, it is warm when it hits the table. I got the creamy pesto linguini with grilled chicken, it comes with a salad and soup. Everything was very delicious and the service was beyond great! I had a bite of the stuffed manicotti with marinara sauce, oh wow! I got the creme brulee and my friend got the lemon cake.

    Christo's has been serving the valley since 1987 A staple in the Phoenix area you'll find this neighborhood gem. A casual dining experience, excellent customer service and home cooked Italian food. Best served at a table with great company, sharing the same food experiences. What a great evening Thank you @christosristorante for your hospitality. 6327 N 7th St Phoenix AZ 85014

    House salad comes with every meal
    Bluewater G.

    My husband surprised me this evening and took me outside of our 2 mile dinner "zone" to Christos. Wow! This place was so welcoming from the minute we walked in! The friendly service, the elegant, classic dining. The food was fresh and tasty. The waiter Ryan was friendly and knowledgeable and our bus person Brian never missed a beat- the waters were full, plates removed, to go boxes provided, and smiles throughout the night. Several managers and the even the owner came by to ask how the service was, which was amazing. This place really sets the bar for restaurant service! We will definitely go back!

    Tiramisu and the chocolate mousse

    The staff was exceptional!!! Michael was an excellent host, the manager made sure we were taken care of throughout the night, and all the staff members signed a personal "happy birthday" card. They comped two desserts and shots for the table to celebrate. Would absolutely come back for lunch, dinner, or to celebrate a special occasion.

    If you want to be transported back to the 80's visiting family for an old school Italian dinner, look no further. We loved this charming spot in Phoenix that's family owned. When you arrive there is a few parking spots in the front but plenty more in the back with a back entrance clearly labeled. Walking in you are quickly welcomed and seated at a table beautifully set like grandma's and white linen tablecloth. Our server, Scott, was an adorable older gentleman who took the time to make us feel like we've been there a thousand times and is so happy we're back even though we told him it was our first visit, it was just good to see us. A warm small loaf of bread tucked into a linen and old fashioned bread basket with pats of butter is brought to the table while you read the menu which has so many choices and we will be back to try! House salad has a nice honey mustard vinaigrette and the chicken noodle soup is definitely homemade which it sure seems like everything is. Husband loved the veal meatballs appetizer and we both really enjoyed our entrees of Sausage Zingarella (Schreiners sausage) and Shrimp in a white wine sauce over cheese ravioli. For dessert the lemon mascarpone cake is a must. Overall this place is an absolute gem! If you're into aesthetics you might want to pass and that's your loss. There are mirrors on the wall, glass block throughout and it's almost 40 years old so there's that funky smell initially but everything else makes you forget that very quickly. I'm thankful we tried Christo's and we definitely will be back again.

    Ossobuco .... So good.
    Barbara L. A.

    FINALLY have my phone back!! It's been awful not being able to write here. So we came for dinner to celebrate my birthday and hadn't realized how long it had been since I dined here. The restaurant still makes me feel back home, but this time the friendly, great italian server wasn't in our area, - I wish I'd made a note of his name - and the difference was noticeable: there was nothing 'wrong' per se, just small things like having to ask for things like a knife and then water and wine, and waiting a while for them to come ... it wasn't the same awesome experience but we had a lovely meal and a good time. Foodwise some of the offerings have been americanized, serving spaghetti as a side. Ahhhrgh. Maybe I just didn't notice last time? Never, ever do Italian restaurants have a first course dish as a side, only vegetables and salads. The good news was the Ossobuco is still on the menu, tender and very good! The vegetables were nicely cooked, nothing special. A little olive oil and lemon on them would've been even better for my taste. The Sole Meunière was fried and not sautéed in the butter, white wine and lemon sauce; the fish was cooked nicely but fried isn't what is normally expected. As I was raised with salad as a side or a main, I don't like the salad and soup included automatically: I like to pick what I like to eat and how to have it cooked; having said this the potato soup and the salad were nice but I do recommend the salad be served in a shallow bowl or at least a regular-sized plate because trying to eat while keeping it all on the small one was an adventure. We had some wine of course, a Santa Margherita white and sparkling water, with a nice Sambuca coffee to end. The restaurant was really nice and sent out a birthday dessert for me. We had a good time dining and catching up after the holidays and will be back again for sure. Since my new phone was being a beast and I couldn't login forever I couldn't post that night; I did take some pictures and made a comment underneath.

GOOD! inspired by taco bell's baja blast hahahah). they TREATED us to all three of their current desserts on the menu. it was the most pleasant surprise i could've imagined. my favorite was the flourless chocolate cake! it was like a thick, rich brownie, had passion fruit cream to "lighten it up" and a caramel-like taffy on the bottom my brother and sister-in-law both said their favorite was the gulab jamun (which is basically like little fried dough balls/donuts, influenced by indian flavors and spices). the mille-feuille was also fantastic - the pastry was light and airy, cream wasn't too sweet and also very light, shaved cheese on top made it have a savory bite, and the jam alongside it was strawberry rhubarb. service is always amazing, friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable; it seems like everybody working here truly enjoys it. quite literally already have a reservation booked at valentine and will be coming back here beforehand. update: came back for more drinks (fernet & coke, spaghett western, negroni) and their lamb flauta. all AMAZING! and amazing order to whet the appetite before dinner at valentine.

Regardless, we gave it another shot and we were much happier the next go around. Record players in the corner and a fireplace on the opposite side of this dimly lit bar created a cozy vibe on a chilly Saturday night. We arrived right at opening and the bar filled up quickly but the volume still made it easy to have a conversation and still have an intimate night out. The drinks, this time, well balanced and delicious. My wife had the the Pantera Rosa and I had the Last Word. Both were delicious and not overly sweet. I love a good "Last Word" but the tea added a welcome and subtle layer. A nicely created cocktail without shaming the original. Servers were attentive, constantly filling up water, and making sure we were well taken care of. We will be back!

The…read moremenu has a pan-European feel, with dishes that pull from different regions in a way that feels thoughtful and unfussy. We ordered several plates from the winter menu to share. Honestly, everything stood on its own without needing wine. The carrot dip, paired with a great selection of vegetables, was a refreshing way to start. As someone who loves sweet potatoes, the sweet potato with green harissa is a must-order. We'd never had chips with serrano ham before, but they were surprisingly addictive and disappeared fast. The highlights of the meal were the duck breast and the pissaladière (puff pastry with anchovies). The duck was tender and flavorful, and the pissaladière was a standout. Who knew anchovies on pastry could be that good? We ended with the ricotta cake with poached pears, which was light and not overly sweet. It reminded me more of European or Asian cheesecake than the dense, sugary American style. The ambiance is chic and thoughtful, with great use of color. Loved the details, from the tiles to the furniture to the typography. Service was excellent, and it felt like the founding team was actively running the place. The menu changes seasonally, which gives us a good reason to come back!
