Read as 3.5 stars. Was unsure what to expect since reviews seem to range across the board but I left pretty happy with overall experience. We were a party of 6 with reservations and were seated immediately. The crab cake bites and beet salad were solid, I would skip the calamari (cold) and eggplant rollatini (spinach was used as a heavy filler). The seafood pasta special was a hit at the table. The rest of the dishes were pretty good. Service was friendly and attentive. Valet parking.

Absolutely delightful. From the kind man working the valet, our sweet servers, the yummy food, the romantic ambiance... everything was great! We celebrated a family member's birthday and we were seated near the front of the restaurant. I ordered an espresso martini and it was fabulous. One of the better I've had this last year. I shared a Caesar with a friend and then had the chicken marsala for my main dish. WOW! The best chicken marsala I've ever had, and I'm not blowing smoke. Great flavor, a decent portion, and the mushrooms were terrific. Cooked perfectly! The runners, our main server, and the rest of the staff were so helpful and accommodating. I need to return the next time I am in the area! Just an FYI for those who are older or have a hard time getting up... the toilets in the ladies restroom are quite low. Just something to keep in mind!

Our first time having dinner here since they are under new management. The experience was phenomenal from start to finish. Every dish we ordered was magnificent. The service and ambience was perfect. I ordered the carbonara and honestly was better than the best carbonara I've had to date which was in Rome My wife's risotto was fantastic as well. Given it's only 15 minutes from our home. I expect we will be here repeatedly.

This restaurant is beautifully located on a hill top. upon arriving your car will be valet parked. Food was excellent, service was good and ambience was nice . Very nice staff

I've seen La Collina as I've driven down 76 for years. The location always looked cool, but I've only now taken the opportunity to visit. I'm glad I did! Short version: great food, nice views, and mostly exceptional service. I went with my wife, my parents, my 6 month old baby and my dad's 99 year old aunt... While I like to think that I'm an easy restaurant guest on my own, a table with a six month old (even though he's a relatively easy baby and we did our best to manage him) and a 99 year old where everyone else is looking out for them isn't easy. Their servers handled it like champs. The food was fantastic. I got one of their homemade gnocchi dishes, and I definitely judge an Italian restaurant by its gnocchi since that was my Italian grandmother's special dinner for my visits as a kid. Theirs is top notch. The vibe is old-timey nice Italian restaurant, with servers in white coats, an old Italian man visibly managing the front of house, a dessert cart going around, and all that. They pull that off in a nice way where it feels classic and little nostalgic but isn't too stuffy. That's nicely complemented by great views out their windows. That vibe matches the food, which is your traditional Italian food prepared to all of the classic standards, in just the rich but clean and delicious way you want, not in the "we're stuck in the 70s burying everything in plastic-y cheese" kind of way. It's all valet parking (free, though I tipped). At some places, that annoys me, but their valet guy is the absolute best. Friendly, knowledgeable about the restaurant, attentive to guests needs. Somehow, he manages to play an integral role in turning a great dinner into an exceptional experience. They have a decent cocktail menu, and they have a bar area in the back. If you've always wondered about that restaurant up there above the expressway, or if you're looking for a good place to get top notch, classic Italian food, definitely give La Collina a visit!

Overall a great experience and we will be back. We ordered the octopus, broccoli rabe and sausage, squid ink pasta, and table-side fileted grilled Branzino. Wine and old fashioned to drink. Broccoli rabe was just ok. Table side filet was underwhelming. Everything else was superb. Wine was good. Old fashioned was excellent! And I am a picky drinker. We came for our 10 yr anniversary. The ambiance, service, cleanliness...all superb! A bit pricy but nothing unmanageable. Worth a try!
