Cristo's Wood Fired Pizza & Pasta 1308 Buffalo Road, Rochester, NY 14624

"Food was OK - nothing special and not great. But food was not horrible. However the service was really bad. Not sure if it was the waitresses first day but we never received bread despite her saying a few times she would get it, she never offered us the specials and when we asked she laughed and said "oh yeah" and the only reason we thought to ask was because we were smelling steak and no steak was on the menu. The server then brought us appetizers but we did not have silverware. It took her about 5 or 10 minutes to return with silverware so we could eat the now cold appetizers. So the food was not bad but nothing special to highlight and the service was very poor. In a city with SOOO Many options for pizza and Italian food - not sure this place is worth going to."

"Went this past Friday with my wife. We LOVED it. We did have to wait longer than usual after being sat to be waited on, but as soon as the hostess noticed, she rectified the situation and got us drinks. The food was phenomenal. My wife ordered the gnocchi with marinara, and I got the Pasta con Funghi, and it was on another level, so much better than I was expecting and it already sounded pretty good. The bread with olive oil and herbs was a great touch compared to the typical bread and butter that is usually served. Absolutely will be back."

"Lets me clear one thing - i love the food here. My friends also agreed they they love the food here. There is no doubt on food. One thing i dislike is the waitress’s attitude. We understood that we came during there were birthday party and other long tables served. But we wont accept when we have been waiting for 35 minutes and we gently asked the waitress “can you please check our food?” And here is her response “Didnt you see that we have a long table and big party?” We got it! We saw it when we stepped into the restaurant but we have been still waiting. We wondered if it is acceptable when the waitress responded to us like that. A restaurant should be defined as a good one by combining both food and services. Just disappointed on the waitress’s attitude!"

"Small, moderate to expensive Italian restaurant. We went early on a Sunday, around 5pm, they had opened at 4pm. Place only had a couple of other tables filled when we arrived. We were asked if we had reservations, we did not. We were waited on immediately. A carafe of water and sliced bread was served first. Dipping oil and spices were on the table along with bread plates. Full bar was available. We ordered a bottle of red wine at $38, cheapest red was $32. After seeing a nearby table receiving their pizza, we decided to order one, $17, plus a small Ceasar's salad to share, $7, and Chicken Marsala, $22. All sides were ala carte. The small salad was enough to share. Their anchovies were premium quality, served on the side for an extra $3. The pizza was delicious as was the chicken marsala. We ordered a sliced homemade chocolate cake to go for dessert. It was very moist, rich and yummy! The restaurant is small in size with 6 bar seats available along with full table service, clean but not fancy. Tables are close together and view is of front parking lot."

"I will be returning! Unassuming from the outside, perfect on the inside. The service was on point. Wine list is quality and not over-priced. The food was delicious. The flavor profiles were above board. Love the bar and decor. Thank you for everything. Keep up the good work!"
