We chose Christine’s to celebrate my birthday because our first visit was incredible — and once again it did not disappoint. The service was great and the food was amazing. We had the Italian egg roll appetizer, and for dinner the Chicken Danielle and the Milanese. We took our server’s advice and added fresh mozzarella and balsamic & it was absolutely on point. We also had the chance to chat with the owner, who is super personable and took the time to get to know us since we’re new to the area. That really made the night feel extra welcoming and special. We’ll definitely be back again! 😊

This was my first time at Christine’s and it lives up to every bit of hype I had heard. Not only is the food incredible - the staff welcomes you with open arms and gives you the best dining experience of your life. Trevor was awesome and gave us great recommendations. I highly recommend!

we had the most amazing time at Christine’s. this is the epitome of what New Jersey italian food should be. Ronnie was the absolute best - we all hugged him goodbye at the end of our meal. he treated us like family and gave us recommendations of dishes to try. i’d come back just to chat with him, but the food was unbelievable, too. Nina was our server and was also so cool and super helpful. the list of specials was insane in the best way. italian eggrolls - nothing to dislike here. the cheese was super creamy, which we loved. special salad - phenomenal. probably the best salad i’ve had in my entire life. everything about it worked and was perfect. bread with roasted peppers - best roasted peppers i’ve ever had. rigatoni sharon - super creamy, fresh, homemade pasta - ugh, so freakin goo

Just attended a birthday party here and all I can say is Don’t. Don’t book a party here. The owner Ron is a creep and way too hands on with the female guests. He came in often to check on things which is good, BUT then he would stay way too long! The food was ok. Some was very good - the sausage egg roll and eggplant were great. Others were terrible - Stuffed artichoke bottoms? Sounds good tastes bland. The dinners were ok nothing more than that. Chicken Diane. Shrimp. And a rigatoni dish that was so overcooked and so over sauced it was inedible. The service was spotty but really not the servers fault. Ron did not have enough staff to cover the small main room and a party of 30. Totally his fault. They didn’t set up the desert until people started to leave. Got no coffee . and that ro

★★★★★ 5.0 Dani Santanella · Oct 2025

I heard so many great things about this restaurant and I am happy to say they were all true! My friend and I made reservations for a Sunday night. The owner Ronny was super friendly as well as the staff. We had the Rigatoni Alla Sharon, Eggplant Rolatini and The Cavatelli Sausage Broccoli Rabe which was ridiculously good. The portions were really generous and everything was really delicious. I was so pleasantly surprised. I'll definitely return and I can't wait to bring my family!
