Collina is a charming neighborhood gem that offers great flavors and good value. The restaurant features a small but delicious menu, including the standout arancini, which are crispy, flavorful, and stuffed with melty smoked mozzarella, served with smoky charred scallion aioli. The menu also includes dishes like lasagnette, which is rich with many layers of thin pasta, bolognese sauce, and parmigiana cheese, and spaghettini, where the fresh basil and razor-thin garlic slices add a punch of flavor. The tasting menu showcases a variety of tasty options, such as the chicory salad with caramelized nuts and sweet persimmons, and the scallops topped with butternut squash that pair perfectly. The scallops are noted for being fresh and lighter, making them a great choice. Desserts like tiramisu provide a light and airy finish, while budino is a rich, large portion that benefits from whipped cream and salted chocolate sauce. The service is friendly and attentive, with the owner making an effort to speak with customers and create a welcoming atmosphere. Overall, Collina offers a warm setting, excellent food, and good value, making it a great spot for a cozy weeknight dinner or a date night with friends.
