I'd given up on having a decent sandwich in the area. I've heard of Christina's that they were the best. After seeing how far it was from me, I didn't think I'd ever get the chance to sample . However, I found myself in a situation where I felt I could make the 30 minute (each way) drive. I was a little disappointed as I pulled into the parking lot got as, the building isn't exactly easy on the eye. But, I didn't let that sway me. Got there at about 12:15pm on a Thursday and saw lots of activity coming and going. There would about 3 or 4 people in front of me and I waited. As I waited, I watched. There didn't seem to be an efficient work flow in the kitchen. A lot of running back and forth instead of having things "right there". This translated into long service times. Got down to just one person in front of me and things stalled even more as there was much talking about this and that. The line behind me grew to about 10 people. If it wasn't so hot outside I believe the line would have gone out the door. I'll admit that I just about gave up as it probably was close to 15 minutes before taking my order. But, I stayed put. Angelo took my order of an Italian Combo and asked if I wanted it "All The Way". Always. However, I understand that "All The Way" means different things to different people but, I'm good to experience it, "however Christina's of Bellevue " sees it. Angelo was quick to clarify, however, that, "All The Way" meant having mayonnaise on the sandwich and, seeing me with my New York Mets hat on, wanted to be sure that's what I wanted or to just have "sub sauce" on it. Any respecting Italian Combo eater knows that putting mayo on this type of sandwich is an absolute travesty, and Angelo picked up on that he was dealing with an expert. Not exactly sure what "sub sauce" is but, let's go with it. Wasn't as long of a wait in the construction of the sandwich as I thought and I paid my cash (only btw) and was out the door for the 30 minute treck to west Ocala. I was happy at the butcher paper and masking tape wrap. I don't know why this matters, it just does! I unwrapped the sandwich and was pleased to see some soggyness. I realize that some people don't appreciate this type of thing but, I usually order by Italian combos with extra vinegar just for the soggyness. A little disappointed in the bread at first glance as it did not contain sesame seeds and was a little soft, soggyness not withstanding. Bread being the number factor in a good sandwich and, clearly the area is challenged in that respect. I dove in. The overall taste was very good. I would suggest to explain that the sandwich contains sweet banana pepper rings. I like that but, would be informative for the buyer to know that the sandwich is coming this way and perhaps give them the choice of hot or sweet pepper rings, or none at all. There was a sweet undertone to the sandwich beyond the sweet pepper rings and, I'm not sure if this was from the "sub sauce". I would make this my main criticism on the overall taste of the Italian combo. Make a "dressing" of extra virgin olive oil, red wine vinegar, salt/pepper/oregano/basil.....maybe a squirt of lemon juice, and that's what should be the "sub sauce". It did have a "store bought" quality to it. Nonetheless, I devoured both halves extremely quickly. Fair price at $11. Give it a try but, bring your patience and cash. Yes, I concur, best I've had in the area!!!! read more

I had the best steak and cheese sandwich at Cristina's Subs and Suds in Ocala! It came out piping hot, packed with flavor, and melted perfectly with gooey cheese. It was the kind of sandwich that just hits so warm, comforting, and absolutely delicious. You can tell they put care into making it fresh and satisfying. If you're anywhere near Ocala, do yourself a favor and stop by Cristina's. This place knows how to do it right! Also, make sure to bring CASH! read more

Great food and great service. Sandwiches and pastas were amazing. Went out of our way to try it and glad we did.

Just ate there for the first time... got the spaghetti & meatballs and garlic bread.....it was excellent !! Definitely will come back!

Bring from NJ, and my husband from NY, it's been extremely hard to find food we enjoy here in central FL. Cristina's sandwiches are a home run... we have always enjoyed everything we have ordered there. I believe it is a family run business. Everyone is kind, happy and makes you feel at home. The atmosphere reminds me of home! They all do an excellent job! read more

Wonderful people. Great food. Selections are always fresh and plentiful. Salads are large and filling.

Great place and food with super nice people! Absolutely will be coming back! Great subs and cookies

A hidden gem. It's in SSS but it is like a trip to a NY Deli in terms of ambiance, quality of the food & service . It is family owned & operated & has been in business as long as I have lived here (20+ yrs). Lots of homemade options that sell out routinely. I highly recommend Christina's. And while you are there go to Shores Hardware and check out Johnny's Pizza. read more

Amazing food, friendly service, immaculate dining, and warm atmosphere. Highly recommend!

Very unique eclectic atmosphere that keeps me coming back. Food is excellent with different specials offered daily. Subs and sandwiches always available. Ordering process is a bit unusual but staff is friendly so just ask what you don't understand. Definitely worth a try and you might just become a regular. read more

Just ordered their Philly after hearing how good it was from a friend, and let me tell you it surpassed what I thought it was going to be. It was ready within 10 mins best service you can ask for, Christina is always super nice and the price is just right. Best Philly in ocala hands down, love all their subs and hot plates as well hopefully this place never closes! read more

A hidden gem. You have to know where you're going to find the place. Mostly takeout. However, they do have a small dining area. The subs, both hot and cold, are wonderful. Truly Italian style ingredients are used. The meats and cheeses are Boars Head. The breads are quality local baked fresh every day. The owner cooks a variety of hot Italian dishes. One of the best "to go" food places in the area. Come early before noon or wait in line. They close at 3:00pm which is too bad because I would frequent this place for the evening meal often. The best meatball sandwich anywhere! read more

Cash only is the only downside. This place has THE BEST SALADS. House balsamic is the only way to go. Huge portions and super quick and friendly. read more

The absolute best sub sandwich I've ever had, my husband loves the chicken parmigiana, home made Italian dressing for subs Ans salads, it's as Faimley owned business and they are Italian and they know how to do it right!! Would recommend this place it's my favorite read more

Delicious subs and cookies! Friendly staff! We are very picky about sub quality and Christina's met the mark! We will definitely be back and back! read more

The subs are amazing, but last time we were there, they were out of ingredients for like 2 or 3 different subs I wanted. It's a small place so you just gotta catch them at a good time. But you will definitely have a great sub! read more

The owners are very kind and cool people. Food was DELICIOUS. My friend and I came here because of the good reviews and we were very pleased. We even played the claw machine and won multiple goodies (claw machine here isn't a scam like most other places) the owner saw how much fun we were having and he gave us a few plushies that he had won. Very fun experience and I can't wait to take more friends here. read more

I've been eating at Christina's since 2006. Angelo and his family have an amazing set up, best subs ever! They also have hot meals which are amazing. They're Italian from NYC and boy can you taste it in their food, but I'm a sub girl and their steak and cheese is my favorite with all the fixings. The meatball sub comes at a close second and don't forget to try their pastrami... mmmm!!! read more

Best NY Deli food and Italian cuisine in Belleview Really love the freshness and quality food

My niece took here to eat and we are from Chicago where the Italian Beef is king. The Philly Cheese outstanding. Keep up the good job.

Ate there once heated food up in microwave and used his bare hands to sprinkle cheese on food. No thanks

Best sandwich shop in town, hands down. Homemade Italian bread, huge portions, meat dripping, high quality cheese and meat,

The Friday night dinners are magnificent. Prime Rib for $15. This includes two sides, salads, and rolls. The meatballs with any of the pastas are a great addition. I also recommend the anti pasta salad before dinner. This place is BYOB including wine. Enjoy! read more

Classic Italian deli atmosphere with great service and food. Subs are great and they also have hot specials daily. Everything is great.

The place looks like a dump but went on recommendation from Yelp reviews. Showed up Friday night, starving, only to find the business closed. It looked abandoned (and dirty). Oh well read more

This is a very nice family owned restaurant that serves high quality food that tastes really good. As soon as you walk in the restaurant and look at the food inventory in their food case you can instantly see the high quality meats and cheeses that they serve. And they are not stingy with the portions. The prices are very favorable as well. I highly recommend this place if you're ever in Ocala. read more
