(PRNewsChannel) / July 15, 2009 / Orlando, Fla. / When Chris Christini first decided to open a restaurant in Orlando in 1984, he was told he would be closing it in just two months. But six months after opening Christini’s Ristorante Italiano, he made enough to pay off the restaurant. With open arms for the Florida resident and tourist alike, Christini’s has made a name for itself as one of the best Italian restaurants in the United States.

Now in it's 25th year, Christini's offers award-winning Italian cuisine in an unforgettable environment for everything from a special occasion to a private party or even a business convention. As Orlando grew into a tourist Mecca, Christini's built up a loyal customer base, even as the area became saturated with chain restaurants. Sure, Christini's is in the Restaurant Hall of Fame and has received every major award in the country, but what kept the customers coming back were little touches like strolling musicians and long-stemmed roses for the ladies.

“We’re a destination restaurant,” says Chris Christini, owner and chef of Christini’s. “When people come to Orlando, they make a special point of coming here, and they do so for a good reason. We’ve distinguished ourselves. We set a very high standard for our food and for our service.”

It’s that attention to detail and the restaurant’s upscale, non-tourist atmosphere that’s made Christini’s the favorite destination of some of America’s biggest celebrities with customers constantly calling it the best Italian restaurant in the United States. Christini says his restaurant actually got a big boost when Bob Hope jokingly commented on the enormous size of the veal chop on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson. Since then, entertainers like Michael Douglas and Jerry Lewis, athletes like Tiger Woods and Michael Jordan, and even members of royalty have frequented the restaurant, but Christini says there’s no such thing as ‘celebrity treatment’ at Christini’s.

“While we certainly have our famous clients, we make sure to treat all of our customers the same way,” says Christini. “Everyone that comes in here is treated like royalty. We make sure they want to come back and they want to tell their friends about us.”

In addition to traditional dinner service, the restaurant can also accommodate parties of up to 60 people for private dining. Christini’s Ristorante Italiano is located at 7600 Dr. Phillips Boulevard in Orlando, minutes from several of the areas most popular tourist destinations. For reservations, please call (407)-345-8770.
