Wow, is all we could say for our lovely evening at Christiano's last night! The food was authentic and excellent! We are rather fussy about Italian food after many lovely meals at Carmine's and Rosebud in Chicago, our standards are rather high and our meal was every bit as good if not better than the best Italian in NYC and...

Don't get the lasagna. Too salty! Bread and salad were good. The red sauce was blah. Will not be back. Too pricey and not that good.

I guess I will sound like a snob for this review, but I can't imagine this is the best restaurant in Santa Rosa Beach. The service is good, the interior is ok, but the food is average at best. If this were in Italy (or even a major U.S. city), I would give it two stars. We had pizza, ravioli... More

We visited Christiano's at the recommendation of a friend who owns another restaurant and were happy with the visit, but not blown away by the quality of the food. First, we were seated in a tiny corner of the room next to a table of "very vocal" guests who were so loud we could literally not hear a single word... More

This little restaurant is outstanding! We have been vacationing in Destin for years, and this was undoubtedly the best food we have had. The food is beautifully prepared and the flavors will amaze you. An absolute must if you are in the area. This chef knows and understands the subtlety of flavor and is a true master. The staff was...

My husband and I took a vacation to Destin and needed a place for dinner. We decided to try Cristianos since he wanted pizza and the reviews were great. From the time we sat down, we knew it was going to be good. The service was fantastic- knowledge wait staff, promptly filled drink refills, etc. We ended up ordering two... More

Awesome WOW lasagna Huge portion and great taste. Big boys like me usually don't carry to go boxes but I have half of my dinner for a midnight snack. My wife's linguine was just as great. Josh is excellent server and the owner truly cares about the business by taking the time to come out if the kitchen to ensure... More

Everything about my visit to Christiano's was superb; my waiter, Joshua, knew the menu and ingredients front to back and provided an excellent recommendation- Fish of the Day, Cobia. ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS. A couple was there from Chicago, where I'm from. Mentioned to the chef that his food rivals that of Rosebud on Taylor street; the couple overheard, came over and... More

Very nice friendly staff. Our server, Josh, was excellent. Loved the "soup of the moment" , a wonderful creamy seafood bisque with crawfish and shrimp--outstanding!!!! The lobster ravioli was good, but not great. My wife enjoyed the veal marsala and I loved the Grouper Elizabeth (something to do with this being originally prepared for Liz Taylor). Wine list is limited... More
