Delicious Italian food. My veal was so tasty as was the halibut my girlfriend ate. Only downside was the expense.

Outstanding evening tonite. Food was exceptional and so was the service. Lobster linguine, Cacho de Pepe, mushroom ravioli, and the halibut we’re all excellent as was the appetizer of the cauliflower, the tableside prepared Caesar salad, and finishing desserts of tiramisu and lemon cake. Our server Fabio was perfect. I’m pretty hard on Restaurant reviews, but this was an exceptional evening.

LA Colina Italian Restaurant is a delightful spot for anyone craving authentic Italian cuisine. The charming patio offers a perfect setting for a relaxing meal, especially on a pleasant evening. One of the highlights is their Caesar salad, prepared fresh from scratch right at your tabl, there Calamari Arabbiata was the best I ever had, and the vitello Ala Sorrentina was heavily. And don’t even think about skipping dessert; their tiramisu is absolutely divine, rich, and perfectly balanced. Whether you're there for a romantic dinner or a casual outing, LA Colina delivers a memorable dining.

Absolutely incredible experience at La Collina Restaurant. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere feels warm, elegant, and inviting—like a perfect blend of upscale dining and cozy Italian charm.
The food? Next level. Every dish was beautifully presented and packed with flavor. You can truly taste the quality and attention to detail in every bite—from the fresh ingredients to the perfectly balanced sauces. The pasta was outstanding, and the overall menu feels thoughtfully curated.
Service was just as impressive—attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely welcoming without being overwhelming. They made the entire experience feel special.
This is the kind of place you go to not just eat, but enjoy a full experience. Whether it’s a date night, celebration, or just treating yourself—La Collina delivers every time.
Highly recommend. Can’t wait to go back

We typically love this place, have been many times. Yesterday the menu was much smaller and much more expensive. I ordered the squid in pasta with shellfish as it’s one of my favorites there and the seafood was overcooked and cold. Must have changed management or owners. Another one off the list!

We arrived when they first opened around 430pm. We were out for our daughter's performance and in the area. My wife and I were both in hoodie sweat shirts and jeans. At first they looked at us side ways but our server was extremely nice and the food was excellent!

A favorite. Service has always been top notch, polite, attentive but not hovering, and helpful. Food was great! We split the burrata, my wife had caccio de Pepe and I had the gnocchi. No room for desert! The wine selection is not huge but covers enough. Our water was helpful in choosing the right wine for us. A great spot for date night.
I specifically went there because a was going through a pasta withdrawal after watching the white-truffle-cacio-pepe episode on Landman a couple of weeks ago. Another reviewer had heaped praise on that dish at La Collins and, boy, did it deliver!! My son had their chicken dish and was really pleased at how good it was. Price was right, service was terrific and I will be back. Really awesome!!

My husband and I went for my birthday and it did not disappoint. Our entire meal was so flavorful. Great service. I like the chill vibe. The food was authentic Italian.
Food was excellent! Ambiance was nice. Service was extremely slow. Didn't see waiter much at all. Had to flag others down for attention. Expected better service for fine dining.
The table side Caesar salad had brown and yellow lettuce and it was very overpowering with garlic, almost to the point you couldn't eat much of it. Our martinis were room temperature once they came out much later than ordering them. We waited over an hour between the salad and our meal. The veal was overcooked, very under seasoned and didn't have much taste at all. We just asked for the bill and got up and left shortly after the meal came. The server knew we were not pleased with our meal and did offer to make something else but I told him we didn't want to wait another hour for poor quality food. He didn't offer to take any meals off of our bill so we paid over $400 for poor service and very underwhelming meal. We used to love this place but it has gone downhill quite a bit since we last visited. I am not one to write reviews either, but I felt like I had to for this very poor experience.
We got there at 6:10 and at 8:00 still didnt have our dinner. My brother and I ordered filet for $62 each. Neither were cooked properly. I asked for medium and got medium rare he asked for medium well and got medium. I sent mine back and they filleted it and came back well done. By the time I got my steak back my party was done eating. I asked to talk to the owner who I saw had been talking to another guest for quite some time and when I ask the waiter to have him come over he told him it would be a few minutes. I said forget it. Our meal was $540 for 4 of us and the filets were terrible. I didnt even eat half of mine. I don't know about you but eating a steak at 8:30 at night does not work well with me. I won't go back.
Music too loud --We sat right by the overhead speaker in the back. We could barely hear the waitress . We asked the waitress twice to turn it down as it was so lousy we could not hear the people in front of us the table--never turned it down - This was at 6 PM. No need for loud rock music at this time . The table sided caesar --we had expected a little cooking explanation when making , but it was given after we asked what the ingredients were. The waitress seemed kind of rush and was overworked , for the high price of the meal , it was not a good experience . The assistant staff were too quick to take away the food when we were not complete they cleared the table without asking us if we were done . We were still eating ! We had been there multiple times in the past, but the food and service experience seems to be decreasing in quality overall. No longer our go to Italian in the area .
