Food is dame nice and oneof the best place i have eaten at and not a rip of like some place s a round vic park
One of the best lunch dates I have been to.. food was the best and beautifully presented.. service above 100%..
half serve half price, what a terrific idea, especially when you feel an entree serve is just not enough.. my Calamari salad was perfect.. our ABC🎗Ladies group are going to make this a monthly meeting place.. nearly forgot, Christina you are the loveliest host and we so enjoyed you chatting with our group.. ���%
Celebrated my twin sons 21st birthday with family from Perth and Victoria last night. Could not speak highly enough about the staff and the meals and service. Food was delicious and plentiful.Thank you for the enjoyable night.
Great staff nice ,friendly ,attentive , came back many times to ask if we wanted anything , really good service.
Food came out quick , it was hot and they were busy , not full, but busy, tasted great , looked good, good size portion as well, will be going back again , easy parking out back as well.
Four of us in for dinner, as usual the atmosphere, food and staff were great, even tho they were catering for a huge group celebrating someone’s 60th, (?50? Maybe). Always a good night here.
Love the waitress the food is always beautiful and great value for money and always filling
I have breakfast one or more times a week there and the stuff is the best and the food is beautiful
Best restaurant 👍👍👍💪💪💪
Amazing Service. The Staff was very helpful. Food was so beautiful. I have a few friends who are gluten intolerant, and I was surprised at the moment of gluten free options. I will definitely be going again.
Large servings (Kade had his doggy bag tonight). Entrees were great. Bread was the best we have had. My steak was sublime. Service was excellent.
Very family friendly with HUGE servings. Menu has been recently changed but still amazing food. Reasonable drinks list and not overly expensive. Need to make a booking Fridays and Saturdays but mid week is just as good
Been there many times. Never had a bad meal yet.
Servings are huge too.
I love that this place does $15 pasta for weekday lunches and Wednesday nights. Their marinara is my favourite. Though the seafood isnt the freshest, it is decent. When I asked for the hot option, I seriously am not disappointed as it really does pack a punch! I did not try the rest but my mates said they enjoyed it. Thumbs up from me ! The service is also great and you get quite a lot for what you pay for.

We live local and have come to Christina's a few times now. I'm surprised it hasn't got a higher rating on Zomato as we've always had such a great experience here. Today we came in a large group for my son's birthday. I ordered the cannelloni (which was delicious) while my dining partners ordered many dishes including lasagna, steak of the day, lamb fry, marinara, veal parmigiana and lamb shanks. For dessert we ordered lemon meringue pie, sticky date pudding, and multiple affagatos. We really enjoyed all our meals, which were fresh, tasty and very generously portioned. The affagato is absolutely to die for!!! The staff were welcoming and accomodating, and the meals arrived within a reasonable time (and all arrived together, which is great considering there were 13 of us). I thought the prices were quite reasonable, but my partner thought they were a little over-priced for a cafe, for example wedges are $14 (although I argued that it's more if a restaurant than a cafe, plus very large servings, good table service etc).
Best place to eat, great full sized meals that are value for money . The staff and table service is brilliant and Christina's is a must do place to eat if your visiting vic park. Great for special occasions/birthdays. Lovely restaurant. Give it a go!

The food is good and fast and one of the only places that I know of that sells chilli muscles. The staff are nice but unprofessional. Its like going to your italian friends house but then paying at the end.
Casual dining in the vic park food hub
Best part- huge place with plenty of seating
Must try- Christina's affogato ( so far best I've tried in Australia)
Best dish on the menu- lamb.
Servings very generous & possibly the best customer service on the cafe strip
I've possibly dined here over 20 times and no matter who the other people attending are its 'bruschetta and chicken saltimbocca' for all. Great portion sizes and quick easy dining (BYO also). The creamy chicken and bacon is delicious, push that to one side to allow you to start soaking up the sauces with your fries, spot on!
Great food. Always bring people here who appreciate good Italian good.
Pros: Atmosphere, Friendly Staff, Food, Wine, Spag Marinara, Lamb Shanks.
Cons: Calamari not crispy enough, bring back the chilli bread! :D
Our family had a lovely experience at Christina's tonight. The food was delicious and generous. Our waitress was warm, friendly and attentive. Everyone left happy and content.
Have been coming here infrequently for years. Great that it's still the same owner and Caesar Salad is as good as the first time I tried it here. Lamb Shanks were awesome and Veal Scallopini superb. Highlight of the night is a toss-up between the amazing dessert plate and the efficiency of the Sicilian "American" waitress.
Well done Christina on maintaining this Vic Park institution :-)
I have been to few Italian restaurant but I would say this is one of the best I've been to. The atmosphere is very friendly and the waitress make sure you are receipt the high standard service. I had chicken pesto - it was very delicious. The size were huge - I didn't finish my meal but I was able to take the leftover home.

This place was incredible, the service was amazing and all the staff were so polite and outgoing. The food came out relatively quickly and I was utterly amazed at the portions. I got the penne Sicilian which came out in a huge plate and was filled with beautiful hot Italian sausage and olives which helped created the perfect sauce. I myself being Italian makes me quick to judge due to the perfect home cooked meals of my Nonna and this lived up to the standards of beautifully cooked food from the heart. My boyfriend got the chicken parmigiana which we were both amazed at how big the piece of chicken was. It was drenched in sauce and cheese, and not to mention the chips that came with it which were great as well :). By the end of the meal we were both so full that we had to (literally) undo our belts. We asked to check out the dessert menu which just looked so scrumptious but realisation came in we were just too full.
Altogether the pricing of the meals were very adequate considering you get what you pay for. I would defiantly recommend this to anyone and everyone, it was such an enjoyable experience with loving staff and I have to say well done to the chef and the owner for creating such a beautiful place for my boyfriend and I to celebrate our belated Valentine's Day dinner.

Great food! Toilets were dope af! i would recommend this to anyone who enjoys having constant diarrhoea and the food as well.
Word limit helper. Word limit helper. Word limit helper. Word limit helper. Word limit helper. Word limit helper. Word limit helper. Word limit helper. Word limit helper. Word limit helper.
Servings are big big big. There is a bit of a wait to be seated on saturday night. Superb service And average food really. You'll be coming back because of their warm and great service.
The portions here are very generous. I ordered the fish of the day and I love it. I couldn't fault the dish at all. We came here in a group of six for lunch and everyone finished their meals with nothing to fault.
The service here is very friendly, staff are very attentive and polite. Considering that there's quite a few negative reviews, I loved this place. I would definately come back here again.
The portions at christinas are huge and the pastas and risotto dishes are airways good. You won't be able to finish the whole meal but they are happy to pack a take away.

Great service and great food! Furious about other reviews. I've been here several times. Foods always great and friendly staff. Really big portion. Suggest to have no entree if you're not a big-eater
Delicious and generous. Old school reliable Italian café.
Fantastic food, huge portions, friendly atmosphere and staff...loved the kids portions and who could go past their calamari salad or today's Father's Day special of BBQ pork ribs...to die for delicious. Love the place one of my all time favourite restaurants to go to!!!
Rainy Sunday lunch with my partner and kids. Awesome food, awesome service. Great atmosphere def coming back. Thanks guys!
Christina's. Been here so many times the food is soooo amazing the price is mid priced would love to go again staff were friendly I love Italian food
Very nice. Went for breakfast on Mother's Day without a reservation. Good service and good food with massive serving sizes. Want to go back for dinner sometime.
I found the prices a little high but serving size was massive & the risotto was delicious! Will visit here again.

When me and my friend walked in, the first waitress (younger woman with visible tattoos) wasn't very friendly, she didn't greet us and when I asked if we could get a table for two she appeared frustrated when asking if we had a booking, we didn't but there was clearly many tables available. But the service from the other two waitresses was extremely friendly, particularly from a woman who appeared to be in her late 20's/early 30's who knew the menu like the back of her hand and easily answered any questions we had about the specials or wine recommendations. She was very friendly and was happy to chat to us and make us feel very welcomed. I find it very difficult to find good service in Perth so was very pleased with her bubbly personality and product knowledge.
We shared a bruschetta, barramundi special, calamari and finished with affogato's for dessert. The serving sizes were huge but so delicious we managed to get through it all! Calamari is often over cooked and chewy but this was perfect, served on a bed of a delicious avocado salad, the only suggestion I have is more avocado please! The barramundi melted in your mouth.
It was a beautiful day, perfect for a Sunday lunch on their lovely alfresco area.
Other than our rather rude welcoming to the restaurant, everything was perfect and I will definitely be returning. I have already recommended it to friends and on my internet blog.
Thank you!
I go to Christina's with family and friends a few times every year. Their food is to die for. I always get the garlic chicken pasta, it is my favourite pasta dish in Perth. It's a little pricey but well worth it for the quality of food and service.
Love it. Only been once, great no fuss Mediterranean food good flavour and huge portions. I loved this place had the Fritto Miso and best I have had in a very long time. Beats the majority of italian places in Melbourne and thats saying something. People have given this place some bad reviews, but give it a go I was not disappointing and I am a hard to please foody
With its ridiculously huge portion comes it's ridiculously huge price tag.
I like this restaurant but agree flavor can be worked on (ie way too creamy on the con polo etc).
Love the garlic bread but don't be disappointed when you see two thin slices out if you're by yourself.... But surprisingly increases to 3 thin slices if you come with an extra.. Sadly their entree portion varies depending on # of guest even tho the price remains the same :(
I wouldn't be running back there with all the nice new cheaper places popping up around Perth. Sorry..

I heard that Christine's was under new management , I have to say i been wanting to check them out for about a month ,I live local and support my local business.
I went there with the thought of having a fresh pasta ,
The menu came out and I really was not sure what was going on.
What type of restaurant is Christine's now ?? .
Pasta yes , Pub food great idea , But curry ??? as well . Was i in a Indian restaurant , Pub or Italian restaurant . There are Indian restaurant's on the strip but Christine's would not be my place to go for a curry
I have to say i was totally unsure what to have and decided on the steak sandwich
The new management have done some improvement's to the place and it is looking much better ,But it is still not there yet .
If anyone knows the history of this place it was one of the first restaurant's to open on the strip and deserves it's place there and I would love to see this place come back to its former glory
But needs to work out it identity and it's vibe ( Have to say i did like the back wall graffiti look , )
Is it an Italian restaurant with a pub food twist , could be onto some thing here.
My Food Review :
5 stars for value for money , 5 stars for service ,
4.5 stars on my food
3.5 stars on the restaurant vibe
Total review 4 stars .
I would recommend checking Christine's out and support a new local business , because with out support no business can grow .
Wow ! we had exceptional meals cooked to perfection... Compliements to the Chef.. We have eaten here so many times over the years and always walked away very contented, the Service is beyond any exceptations. Christina herself, homely, welcoming as always with the prices very, very reasonable.. 10/10
Would recommend anyone to book in and experience this wonderful restraunt.. especially for functions eg. Melbourne Cup and Christmas etc or even a lovely night out.
Thank you all at Christina's
First time here an absolutely amazing time, out waiter was on point throughout our dinner, the portions were huge for a main meal which is awesome and you certainly get value for money. Good prices and we'll worth a visit if your in East Vic Park. Well done
We had a very pleasant meal at Christina's Restaurant last night. My mushroom risotto was very enjoyable and my partner said his chicken parmigiana was the best one he has eaten in a very long time. I must also mention, I took half of my risotto home and had it for dinner tonight and it was even tastier! However, what stood out for this dining experience was the delightful young man who waited on us. He was so attentive, well mannered and helpful. Hats off to Christina's both for their food and their staff.
