    Always enjoy La Collina. This last visit, there was a large party for a Baptism. We had concert tickets so we asked to move things along and, despite their attending to the party, our food and service was a wonderful as always. There’s no better sign of a great restaurant than that!

    We I went to celebrate Mother's Day and was truly disappointed. It took over an hour and a half to receive our food, and there were multiple mistakes with our orders. The restaurant charges an automatic 20% tip, which may explain why our plates were not cleared properly and our glasses were not refilled. Overall, I do not recommend this place. Perhaps it was because it was Mother's Day, but they clearly did not prepare and were shorthanded.
