    Fantastic 1st experience! My husband and I travel to Philly a lot throughout the year because we’re die hard sports fans. We pass La Collina everytime we head to our hotel and finally wanted to check it out. From the service, to the food, to the overall atmosphere it is top notch! Definitely will be back, this place is a treasure.

    Always a good meal. It was a holiday so crowded and more nosy than normal. Make it your "go to" place,

    We had a thoroughly enjoyable, delicious meal at La Collina from start to finish and would highly recommend. Service was exceptional and each one of us had a great dinner. The pasta special was outstanding (do not hesitate), but I have to admit that the gorgonzola filled gnocchi enjoyed by my GF were pretty amazing as well. Her husband had no difficulty devouring his entire chicken park and my husband was delighted that he could order and enjoy veal parm not included on the menu. While I do not usually order my own dessert, I just could not pass up the Lemon Gelato with Limoncello and I have to say that it was positively amazing. I cannot recall having such an unusual and memorable dessert and only wish I could re-create it. It was served in a champagne flute and I refused to leave a trace behind. Our server was extremely professional and very pleasant. It was a Tuesday evening and the restaurant was pleasantly quiet and she permitted us to stay and visit without rushing us out the door. Our valet kindly brought our vehicles to the front door and delivered the keys to our table so we were able to avoid getting wet with the light rain. Very thoughtful. All in all a great meal and we are already looking forward to a return visit.

    Very consistent experience with food and service. Their actual paper menus need to be replaced as they are old and don't reflect the quality of the food and service which are both very good

    Service and food quality have declined under new management. Automatic 20% service charge PLUS 3% credit card fee for table of 6 is also new.
