One of the best dining experiences I have ever had. The service was impeccable and the food was better than what I have experienced in Italy.

The food was excellent. Except our waitress was not on par. We had to wait very long for our initial drinks.

A friend and I ate there at 5pm on a Tuesday night which might affect my ratings for noise level. I had the Branzino and she had the lamb bolangnaise. We split the cauliflower appetizer. Everything was done perfectly. I only wish there had been some sides listed as there wasn't anything to accompany the branzino. I guess I could have ordered another appetizer. Also, the restaurant was chilly but that may have been because it just opened and there weren't many people there yet. I will definitely return as I live in the neighborhood. My friend who lives in Dupont Circle took a card to recommend it to friends.

The worst Italian food ever.. basically everything from frozen to the plate and table... better restaurants around! We order 5 different pastas and the sauce were like from a can.. and no even imagine the “carb'nada” was like defrost sauce..

Delicious food- and the corn ravioli is back, at least temporarily! My only problem w/this restaurant is the noise level- SO loud! All surfaces except banquet seating is hard and once tables fill in you are literally shouting at your table mates in conversation. Wish they (and other restaurants) would address. Otherwise- 5 stars!

Delicious pasta and a chill vibe - our server was also very helpful and incredibly sweet. Will definitely visit again!

Don’t waste your time trying to make a reservation here. The person who answered the phone was unbelievably rude and unprofessional. When I called, he picked up and said, “Hey.” I replied, “Hello?” and he responded with a dismissive “Yeah.” Excuse me? That’s not how you greet a potential guest. The attitude was completely unnecessary and disrespectful.

We very much enjoyed our dinner at La Collina. Bruschetta, lamb bolognese and cacio e pepe were delicious. Waitstaff friendly and knowledgeable.
Wonderfull neighborhood plus restaurant. Good for date night, singles night, business pal, etc. Food is very good and service is great. Only negative is noise can be pretty high level.

Best best best lasagna!!! And the olive oil cake was so nice, we wanted more. Everything from lovely service, to lighting, to modern decor was my favorite in DC.

Honestly yummy food, but a touch expensive. We sat in between two families which was annoying but not the worst when we moved. Get the allá vodka pasta and any bread on the menu. Would go again! Great location!

Accidentally walked up on this restaurant while strolling & exploring Eastern Market. My Bestie and I just wanted a good place to eat with some good food and a chill ambiance. This place: La Collina DID NOT DISAPPOINT! We were amazed with this restaurant. It seems to be a neighborhood restaurant. The service was thoughtful and attentive. 10/10 What we ate: The AMAZING BRANZINO w/pickled onions was stellar! Now, before we ordered I took the liberty to google the reviews for the dishes...EVERYONE kept talking/RAVING about the Cauliflower & Brussel Sprouts (neither are my favorite veggie) I stand corrected...they were outstanding!! The flavor of the cauliflower was INSANE! I couldn't believe what I was tasting. The Brussels were in a game of their own...#Winning! My Bestie had the Shrimp Scampi that was also awesome!!! The manager, Ryan came over to the table...we had to rave about the food and service...Like I said, THANK THE KITCHEN for the entire meal...1000 Stars!!! We will be back and I am already looking forward to it...Thank you to the Wonderful Staff (Isha & Mgr Ryan..I forgot the other waitress name, but Thanks Sis!)
