This is a hidden local gem run by a longtime local. The prices are amazing for the large portions and delectable quality. The owner takes great care to see to the service and his legacy covers the walls, leaving you with the feeling that you're getting a home cooked meal from a loving grandparent. Don't leave without trying their homemade wine or their Onassis coffee!

Stopped by before a CLO show. We had the house red wine which was delicious. Taramasalata was the creamy kind, without whole tarama eggs. I had the Shrimp Santorini. Diabetics should be aware that the two Santorini dishes come with rice pilaf. I enjoyed the baba ganoush for my dessert. My wife had the Jackie O dessert and really enjoyed it.

We stumbled into this place desperate for a quick meal before a concert when every other place was packed. We were worried that the place wasn't busier... and after a delicious house salad, "grandma's [delicious] potatoes," housemade hummus, and delicious entrees (Penne Apollo & vegetarian stuffed peppers), we were surprised this place was only 4.4 overall. Oh! Forgot about the delicious housemade wine, both white and red! Loved it! Sorry for the photo, taken after we had already tasted our food, so we messed up the plating.

Christos is THE BEST GREEK FOOD IN PITTSBURGH!!! Served by the owner, using his authentic old world recipes. It's fantastic! Don't miss it!

Christos embodies the statement “food is love”. The food itself was delicious and authentic. But the service and the family feeling at this restaurant sets it apart and needs recognized. The owner of the restaurant has so much love for the food, the recipes, the tradition and the people that come in. A really amazing experience and I hope everyone goes to visit soon.

This will always be a place I go to anytime I visit family in Pittsburgh. There isn’t a place around quite like this. The owner personally serves you and gives you a little history about the dishes he made for Jackie O. The wine is excellent, not too strong or over powering. The hummus is the best I’ve had. And the Jackie O cake has to be the best cake I’ve ever had also. I don’t eat sweets usually but I could eat Christo’s cake all day. Definitely my favorite Greek restaurant.

We almost walked past it, but we didn't, and I'm so glad that we didn't! The food was authentic, homemade, and tasted ! The service was just as good! The little old man (owner?) was so good at his job and giving us the description and what to expect on everything we ordered. And made sure we got a piece of cake at the end, yum!! And, to top it off, the prices were very reasonable! Best hummus, grape leaves (a little spicy), and tabouleh!! Enjoy! Opaaa!!

You rarely see genuine hospitality in a family owned business anymore. The atmosphere was casual and warm. A couple was celebrating the husband‘s birthday the restaurant sang happy birthday. I don’t remember the last time. I ate such great food and had such a nice unpretentious dinner out.
