Cristianos in Peterborough

A warm, authentic Italian restaurant. I really enjoyed the food!

Food tastes good and the atmosphere was nice. A small group of us went early evening and enjoyed our visit. 1 thing to improve on. Staff need more comprehensive menu training as we had to translate some menu items into English as we got blank looks when using the menu names for the dishes.

Me and my boyfriend booked a night away in this part of London and visited this restaurant. It was beautiful, with great friendly service and yummy food. They have a proper stone oven to cook your pizza! They couldn’t be more helpful.

We came back here for Mother's Day after having a very pleasant evening for our anniversary back in June 2024. Sadly, we won't be returning as the local yobs have started to use it as their new boozer, having been barred from the pub next door. Shouting, arguing, and swearing to the point where one family sat behind us ended up walking out, having only just sat down. We stuck it out mainly because we had no food in the fridge and nowhere else to go, as everywhere else was fully booked. The manager stood like a bouncer next to the toilet door, but did nothing to address the drunken louts, so I assume he's happy taking their money and having other customers driven away. The service was friendly (and apologetic) but slow. My son and I had salmon, but it was undercooked. My daughter's pizza got forgotten, then rush cooked so it came out doughy and undercooked, the cheese just slid off the top. My husband's meal just felt like a larger portion of what he'd had for a starter (exactly the same sauce but with chicken - and not much of it - instead of mushrooms. We did complain, and were offered 50% off as an apology, which was at least a gesture and acceptance of fault. Sadly though, we won't be returning again. We desperately want to support local restaurants to do well, and have certainly enjoyed some lovely meals here in the past under previous ownership, both when it was Flamas, and when it became Mattoni. Even under the current owners, we had a lovely meal last year. It's a real shame to see a business taking such a nose dive in an area that needs good restaurants.

I was absolutely blown away by these guys, the quality was incredible but also very decent size portion at a very affordable price. I had a chicken Donna and it was easily the best one I've ever had
