La Collina has delighted diners with world-class cuisine, service, and ambiance for more than 31 remarkable years. Classically-trained staff serve a selection of the finest old-world recipes in an atmosphere of casual elegance, while attending to every detail.
Located just off the Schuylkill Expressway in Belmont Hills, La Collina boasts spectacular hilltop views. The bar offers a unique atmosphere with live entertainment and dancing on weekends. This gem is known as one of the most romantic restaurants on the Main Line.
La Collina specializes in fresh seafood and veal dishes. Its signature dish, Dover Sole, is a delicate, tasty fish that is uniquely grilled, and served tableside. In addition to our Dover Sole, our daily fresh-fish specials include Branzino, Norwegian Salmon, Pompano, Orata, soft-shell crabs, Langostina, and other delights from the sea, depending upon availability. We are also known for our veal sirloin, veal porterhouse, ossobuco, and chops.

Buon Appetito!

    Charming dining room (and there are several). Excellent service plus valet parking. Salad was delicious but the veal (VITELLO ALLA FONTANA) was so-so. It was in demi-glaze sauce which was a little too rich for me (but I am not used to eating rich food). Portions are huge so next time would share. A lovely fining environment. I would go again but be more selective in what I order.

    La Collina was nothing short of amazing. My boyfriend and I have loved it so much we have come twice in two weeks so have the same excellent server each time! She is simply amazing, remembering everything down to our drink orders! Would highly recommend!

    The experience here is always wonderful. I've been coming since the previous owner, and although the new management isn't as personable, the wait staff and valet have remained a pure joy. Also, the changes they've made to both the menu and the restaurant have been tastefully done and much needed. Overall, it is a great place to go, be it solo, on a date, for business, with friends or with family!

    The new management needs to go back to when they required you to be appropriately dressed for a restaurant of that caliber. Do I REALLY want to be seated across from some schlub in a Sand Jamm T-shirt, shorts, and sandals? Yes, it’s another filled table but just might cause you to lose a couple or more future filled tables. “I’m sorry, sir, but we do not allow shorts and T-shirts in our dining room. Thank you for respecting our other guests” DRESS UP, PEOPLE!

    La Collina has a very nice ambience. Our server, Antonio was great. We enjoyed our selections: Clams casino, eggplant rolatini, vitello picatta, the special seafood pasta (YUMMY), etc.; however, the broccoli rabe had a strange aftertaste - maybe undercooked. The cocktails were substantial as well as the wine pours. We are returning next month.
