   I've never had a bad meal or service at Christo's. I love it for lunch because you can actually have a conversation you can hear!

   This is difficult critique for me to write as Christos has provided excellent service and fantastic food since it opened. I have dined at Christos dozens of times over nearly three decades and usually have a great experience. This evening started out the same, enjoying our wine and the complementary bread. Shortly after we ordered, a family with a toddler was placed in the center of the dining room and inches from our table. For the next 45 minutes, the time it took us to shovel down our food and leave, the child continued to shriek intermittently. Pretty much disrupting our enjoyment of the meal since that was now the focus of the evening. We mentioned it to the manager who informed us there was nothing he could do. Since there was an empty overflow room available, his response was vacant. Our goal for dining at Christo's this evening was to purchase a gift card for a friend and enjoy a nice evening at an upscale Italian restaurant. The disruption forced us to eat quickly and leave, without buying the gift card. Even Denny's has a separate area for small children. When I am paying $40 or more per entree', I expect a quiet and enjoyable environment. When we informed our waitress, we would be leaving, she insisted we choose two commentary desserts to take with us, which was a nice gesture. Since this was the first time this has happened in dozens of visits over the years, I will probably give them another chance since the food is good. This episode makes me question the management staff and how they might handle some other disturbance in the future. For now, in my mind, this restaurant has moved from fanstatic to not quite adequate.

   I’ve driven past Christo’s multiple times throughout my years of living in Phoenix, and my friend and I finally decided to take the plunge and book a reservation to celebrate her birthday. This place was amazing! Upon walking in, we were met with a smile and greeted like family by their wonderful host. Our server, I believe his name was Ryan, was superb. The bread and soup was to die for, our entrees were delicious, and multiple people checked on us throughout the night to see if everything was to our liking. I’m already planning my next trip back with my fiancé. Please come to Christo’s! This is a staple in Phoenix for a reason.

   We had 5 diners, all selected different menu items and everyone raved about the delivery, presentation and efficiency of service. Wonderful restaurant to go to for great Italian food.

   We all know about the stalwart traditional “Continental” restaurant Christo’s. And so it consistently remains and it is a pleasure to dine there. Quiet ambience—one can talk to your friends/guests/associates without having to yell or use special listening devices to hear their conversation. And the food. Yes the food remains steady, consistent and delectable. The servers are pros and service is always thoughtful and helpful. Well done again Christo’s.

   We were looking for a place to eat near an event. We were unfamiliar with the area but the Google information looked promising. This turned out to be a great find. The service was attentive but not intrusive. The place was busy but we were able to have a comfortable conversation. The food was very good and the pricing was reasonable. Well be back.
