Ordered a pizza for pick up along with a side order of 2 meatballs. I am always on the hunt for good meatballs.I will say the pizza was pretty good...nice crust. Unfortunately the meatballs were disappointing at the cost of $8. They were huge in size but lacking taste and they fell apart while I tried to cut them in half.I will give this place another try and dine in.

What a hidden Gem. First experience dining here and exceeded all Expectations ! Started with homemade soups that were just like Grandma's along with perfect Calamari and a magnificent Caprese salad. Two chicken dishes and one shrimp dish old country style. The atmosphere and service (Andrew) was warm and inviting. Good wine and the Best Tiramisu ! Highly recommend ! Unlike others from the North that gave poor reviews I was New York born and raised and have dined every restaurant in Little Italy and this restaurant did not disappoint in any way.

Our first time hereThis is absolutely the BEST Italian restaurant I've ever been to!!! We had the veal parmigiana dinner. Their house dressing made the salad worth it's own trip. The veal was the real thing, no mass produced patties here. The ziti was perfectly al dente, their house sauce, perfectly seasoned and nice and thick. We could only eat half of the dinner and took the rest home for tomorrow night. Had to have the tiramisu. It was fantastic and, again, we had to take half of it home. Our waiter was the perfect blend of there when needed and invisible when not needed. The dining room is small, but not crowded, so I would recommend reservations for dinner.Follow up. Wife's birthday. They are consistent! Great food awesome staff, and large servings so tomorrow's dinner is "in the bag".

OMG!!! This place is amazing. We ordered the bruschetta as an appetizer. It was a masterpiece. We were very pleasantly surprised. It set the tone for the rest of the meal. I ordered the chicken parmesan and angel hair, my husband ordered the fettuccine with chicken. Both were excellent, but the icing on the cake was that they actually brought out a spoon with both entrées. My husband is from a very traditional Italian family. That's how they eat. When you go to other Italian restaurants they look at you like you're crazy when you ask for a spoon. Not to mention that then you have to wait 20 minutes, while your food is getting cold, to get the spoon. There was wonderful Italian music in the background and the decor was beautiful. The prices were very reasonable. The portions were very big. Our server was Tatiana (I'm not sure that's how she spells it) was very pleasant. Timing is everything, hers was spot on. I really can't say enough about this restaurant. It was the most enjoyable dinner we've had in a long time. The only thing I would critique is that our table was right in front of a door/window. While there was a blind, it did very little to stop the heat of the sun coming in from that window/door. Blackout curtains??It definitely will not keep us from going back. We've found our new Italian food restaurant. We can't wait to try the pizza.

We ate there last night. We arrived on a Tuesday at 5pm and we were greeted and sat right away. Our server took our drink order within a couple of minutes and brought hot, fresh bread. We all got salads and we can never get enough of their house dressing! We should have brought some home. For dinner my father-in-law and I both ordered chicken parm, my son ordered spaghetti and meatballs, and when he couldn't decide if he wanted meatball or sausage, they brought him one of each. My husband got a sausage pizza, and he said it's one of the best he's had. I can't recall what my sister-in-law ordered but she has a gluten allergy and they were very accommodating. All of the food was cooked perfectly and delicious. Portion sizes are huge, every one of us had enough left for a second meal. Our server was very attentive, bringing drink refills before we even asked for them. I wish that I could remember her name, but she is a gem! We cannot wait to come back again.

Original review new review after this one:My wife and I went there on a Saturday night. We got there was seated within 5 minutes. We ordered Drinks, salad for each and were sharing on of their big calzones. Took 10 to get drinks, 15 min tod get bread and no olive oil to dip in we asked the hostess which brought the bread if we could get the olive oil and she was not a problem. We never saw it. 35 minutes into dinner we got our salads which was just italian lettuce one little tomato and a sliver of onion and creamy italian dressing. We asked our server for more bread and olive oil dip. That came out pretty quick. The salad dressing and the olive oil had a lot of garlic to the point my Italian wife said that is a lot of garlic to which it was not tasting good. We then waited for the calzone which did not appear. I asked if she was ready and she was. We went to the front register and asked for our calzone to be put in a box to which we were told it has not even been started and the order for it was put in 40 min prior to us asking for it to leave. The took care of what we had eaten and drank. While in there they had 1 whole table go back because food was wrong and a few other tables at least 1 to 2 people their food was messed up or wrong. We have been going here for 2 years and never had this happen. It was just recently sold to a new owner. My suggestion get new cooks or chef that knows what they are doing and get a hostess that takes care of your customers and not just forgets them. And not so much garlic for the love of god not so much garlic.4-1-24My wife and I went back a month later and they have vastly improved. Zo the waiter was exceptional. Overall experience was good. The food is still a bit slow coming out but was not like the last time. We had lasagna which came out sauce was good and hottish but the pasta was not hot it was warm to cold. But we will be coming back. Thank you to the owner for addressing the issues she had and was a good dining experience.

I have been here several times and the food is always delicious. Most recently, I had the bruschetta appetizer and the ziti with eggplant, with the lentil soup as the side. All of it was excellent, but my favorite was the bruschetta. Service was fast and attentive. Also, I have ordered pizza for takeout many times in the past and DeCristofaro's really has the best pizza around, far better than any chain restaurant.

I have a previous review from when the new owners first took over. It was not a very good experience. I went back to give them another try. The food was absolutely amazing. Beautiful atmosphere and outside seating. Inside is a little tight. We had to wait about an hour and 20 minutes to get our entrées. But everything is made to order and they had a lot of takeout orders that day. But you get salad and bread While you’re waiting. And the food is just so good it’s worth the wait. The salad that comes with your entrée is huge. The best homemade house dressing! But the entrées still seem a little small. Our server seemed distracted. But there was a younger male server who kept us entertained. Lol.

Jeanie please come to our home and use your magic touch . We just got back in town on Friday and had to visit and was so happy to visit . Our server was excellent but unfortunately food took way to long we were only a party of four . We were visited by the manager Jeanie and she was the most pleasant and apologized about the wait and explained short staffed. When we finally gotten our dinner it was ok. As we were leaving we saw the manager also cooking with the chef you have a fantastic team

I lost my Mother unexpectedly a few months ago, and with planning all of the arrangements, I knew I needed a place to accommodate a large party to gather after her services. A place that offered authentic Italian food and atmosphere to honor my beautiful, traditional, Italian Mother. DeCristofaro's was the obvious choice and they were more than happy to oblige with fantastic food, family, and love. Everything about our time there was perfect!
Thank you Ralph and Nancy for your gracious compassion and support for me and my family on one of the hardest days ever, my Mother would have LOVED it all!❤️
