Cristina's
Description
Cristina’s Ristorante Italiano is a neighborhood gem on University Boulevard in Wheaton, serving authentic, family-style Italian with standout sauces, generous portions and a warm, welcoming staff. The unassuming exterior gives way to a bright, fine-dining interior where an extensive menu — from spicy shrimp linguine to baked eggplant — and a solid wine list make it ideal for date nights, family dinners, or private events. Prices are reasonable for the area, and service is consistently attentive.

If you reside in Montgomery County near Glenmont, Wheaton, Silver Spring, or Rockville and are in search of a fantastic Italian restaurant, I highly recommend Cristina's Ristorante Italiano on University Blvd in Wheaton. The food, service, and atmosphere are all exceptional. Be sure to mention to the owner, Nick, that Erik and Wendy referred you!
I ordered the baked eggplant for $14.95, which was stuffed with spinach and ricotta cheese, and topped with mozzarella and marinara sauce. It was absolutely delicious! Nick welcomed us warmly and wished us well as he left.
Fantastic! You might not expect much from the unassuming exterior, but the interior is bright and exudes a fine dining ambiance. The portions are generous, the food is delicious, and while the prices are slightly elevated, they are reasonable considering the location near Washington, D.C. Overall, a wonderful experience!
Amazing food and amazing service! We were in DC for the day and decided we wanted Italian, found this jewel by reviews. Don't be fooled by his appearance. We would recommend this place to everyone, the best Italian food we had!
