   Highly overpriced for average food in a "kitsch" setting. Caveat emptor! At one time Christini's was the "go to" upscale Italian restaurant in the Orlando area, but not anymore. We have dined at some of the finest, upscale Italian restaurants across the USA, yet this restaurant does not even come close to being rated in the top 100. Food quality (especially the veal), the portion sizes and preparation are sub-par. They must have changed purveyors for lower grade meats yet raised their prices - bad business decision. Our two veal entrees looked and tasted like they came out of a buffet chafing dish. Everything on the menu is so overpriced for what they are offering. For example: 2 mini veal meatballs- $28 and a small appetizer portion of penne Arrabbiata- $24 For us, it was a disappointing outing, we expected much better. Note - the only positives: they still serve terrific bread and have a nice wine list.

   Authentic, classical, Italian food, wine and ambiance coupled with careful and over the top attention. Recommend for special occasions as it tends to be pricey. Really enjoyed the experience.

    I’ve been enjoying Christini’s for decades for everyday dining; business dinner; and, special events. Everything about Christini’s, from their consistently world-class veal to their impeccable service always exceeds my elevated expectations. Christini’s is the place to go when you want to experience the very best in dining!

    Food was good. Gave it 4 stars because I asked for medium rare on the chop and it came out medium well and was too tough to enjoy. Great service!

    I suppose the caveat is that this is in Orlando, and much like Las Vegas there are some things that are just a byproduct of the environment. The restaurant is beautiful and makes a memorable impression the moment you walk in the door. It feels like being instantly transported somewhere else, somewhere special. It's both romantic for a special occasion and seriously upscale for an executive dinner. Atmosphere: 5/5 Service is very professional and attentive, bordering on too attentive. Admittedly this is a delicate balancing act, but would suggest a slower roll-out of staff introductions. Before water and cocktails are on the table, keep it under three staff introductions (not five). That said, service was excellent. Service: 5/5 Food! OK, here is where the caveat comes in. The vast majority of customers I assume are tourist or convention business dinners. With that in mind it is understandable that the food was "safe", perfectly cooked, perfectly plated, and uninspiring. Admittedly, I like adventurous, creative, chefs. So the best I can say is that the food was OK, was safe, for a restaurant of this caliber. Food: 4/5

The food was superb. The strolling minstrel sang Happy Birthday in both Italian and English. The parting rose was a great finish! took
