a very belated birthday-dinner review, since I'm an established slacker. But this is also fitting…read moresince whether its been driving by it back in the day, or through gazing up at it on the hill when I was in Manayunk, La Collina is one of those places that has been in my peripheral vision for a few decades now! For 20+ years, I've known La Collina to be that fancy and classic-looking Italian restaurant on the hill that I've been needing to try. But it took coming across its name when doing my research for possible spots to go to for my birthday to put one and two together, and it led to quite the majestic experience. The friendly and hilarious valet attendants ensured that service was incredible before we even entered the building. And upon entry, we were treated to spot-on recommendations and quality service throughout the evening. For cocktails, I was in awe of the Anejo Old Fashioned, which used Patron and agave syrup instead of the usual whiskey offering, and I also appreciated the classic Negroni. For appetizers, the classic meatballs with homemade marinara and ricotta were an absolute delight, and the eggplant rolatini with spinach, prosciutto, and mozzarella was sheer perfection at its most decadent. For my entrée, I initially expected that I would be eating all the pasta. But the restaurant is also known for its seafood, and the risotto frutti di mare especially caught my eye. and with its calamari, clams, mussels, and shrimp, and perfectly cooked and seasoned rice it absolutely delivered the flavors! Toss in a salted caramel chocolate soufflé with a candle on top, and it easily made for another memorable birthday dinner and a deserving place to recommend!

The service here was pretty good. I really enjoyed our waitress. I ended up getting a Negroni which was amazing. This place makes a killer cocktail. The branzino was their top seller according to the waitress. They brought it out in a cart. I felt like the branzino was bland. They also had some spinach on the dish as well.

Elements other than food factor in to one's assessment of a restaurant…read more This restaurant is LOUD, particularly the main dining room. We were seated in the secondary room which quickly filled, and was just as loud. Conversation was difficult. Terrible acoustics. Pescatore is popular. I get it. Management wants to accommodate as many people as possible. As such, seating is tight and tables-for-two are postage sized. I can't deny that our meals were good. You can get vegetables as a side rather than mashed potatoes, but there's an upcharge. (I'm guessing they go with potatoes because they can make a batch and quickly ladle it out. Spaghetti -- my preference -- would likely have to be made-to-order. And as I said, the place is busy.) My husband and I shared a house salad which we topped with "fritto misto" - calamari, shrimp and peppers. Very good! He ordered Veal Saltimbocca and I, Chicken Romano. Both recommended, both with portions big enough for another meal. The staff is solicitous and friendly. Everything came out on a timely basis. We like what we ate. We appreciate BYOB. But that noise! I'll give 'em another try on a weeknight. But if it's no better -- arrivederci, Pescatore!

We decided on it because of, aside from the great food, a private parking lot and outdoor seating. We went on a Saturday evening. The weather was beautiful out (not hot for a summer night-thank goodness!) so we wanted to sit outside. We were seated and decided on starting with the caprese salad and we each ordered a bourbon espresso martini. The drinks were wonderful! The salad was so good and so fresh! A perfect summer appetizer! I ordered the pepperoni pizza and my friend ordered a pasta dish. They make their pasta and you can alway tell when a restaurant does because it's so delicate and delicious! The server who brought out our food told us about the hot honey they had that goes so well with the pepperoni pizza so he brought us each out some to try. I've had it before other places but his kindness and excitement at wanting us to try it was so kind. And it was great with the pizza! A solid restaurant with wonderful food that I will continue to visit!

We were able to be seated right away, but why have reservations online if they don't work? We were seated outside , and it was lovely. It wasn't loud, and It was a great atmosphere. The waiter came over and took our drink order. We got our drinks right away. We also ordered bread with oil and butter. My friend ordered a pizza and told the waiter, no pepper on the pizza. I ordered a pasta dish. Another person came out with my friend's pizza, but we hadn't even gotten our bread and butter yet!! The pizza had pepper on it. Besides the fact that they served the pizza with the pepper that she didn't want , there were two things wrong with this. 1. You serve the bread and butter first. 2.You bring both meals out at the same time; you don't serve somebody's meal first. We finally got our bread and butter. However,I had to wait so long for my meal that we had to wave the waiter over and tell him I didn't get my mail yet. (meanwhile my friend is eating her pizza. ) He says this is a free-flowing kitchen, and my meal will be out soon. My meal comes out as we were speaking to the waiter. The food was very tasty. The drinks were excellent! The prices were reasonable and the atmosphere was nice. The service could've been better.

The kitchen is in the center of the room so even though the restaurant was empty when we arrived - whatever was cooking smelled delicious. Our waitress was friendly and attentive. We started with Joe the Boss Eggplant Salad - I've been looking for new ways to make eggplant and they nailed it. It was light and fluffy, oddly I've never thought to serve it with salad. The chef gave us a few complimentary hummus crostinis that were delicious. I never order gnocchi- I'm just not a huge fan of their dense doughiness but I took a chance that their red sauce could sway me- and I wasn't wrong- it was good. The chicken parm was on point too. We enjoyed everything and will definitely return. Don't forget it's a BYOB.
