We used to love Collinas. Its feels old now. Pizza still good but we were there for a function in the private room and had food buffet style. We were brought bread and oil and spices but no plates. Italian sauce was good but the chicken parm was so dried out we could not cut it.
The staff was still nice.
Not my first choice of places to go anymore.

Wonderful Italian food. Interesting tasty desserts. Food is fresh with generous portions and good prices. Staff is top notch. There is also a party room. We always enjoy eating here and since they closed our usual location, we now drive to this one to get our Collinas fix.
They also offer bring your own wine and charge an uncorking fee at a reasonable rate. We’ve used this service. They will bring an ice bucket to chill your wine at the table.
There are also dessert shops and a wonderful spice shop in the same strip center as the restaurant.
Nice area, great place to eat a diverse wonderful Italian meal.

Delicious Food, Friendly Service — But the Restroom Needs Serious Attention
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (4 out of 5)
We visited on a quieter day, but it’s clear this spot is popular with employees from the nearby private companies, so it can get busy during peak hours. Thankfully, we were greeted immediately upon arrival and seated right away—great first impression.
The menu offers a wide variety, and everything we tried was flavorful and well-prepared. I highly recommend the meatballs—the meatball Bolognese was especially good. The pasta was perfectly al dente. I did ask for a side of fresh basil to bring a bit more brightness to the sauce, and it made the dish even better.
The lasagna was also cooked beautifully and came in just the right portion size. For the quality of food and service, the prices are very reasonable.
My only critique—and it’s a big one—is the condition of the restrooms. They’re severely outdated and honestly feel more like a gas station bathroom than one that belongs to a restaurant of this caliber. It’s disappointing, especially since everything else about the experience feels elevated. A full renovation would make a huge difference in aligning the ambiance with the quality of the food and service.
Great food, welcoming staff, and excellent value. We’ll definitely be back—but I do hope management considers updating the bathrooms to match the rest of the experience.

We went here for the first time tonight with our 2.5 year old son. We arrived about 545, ordered a small cheese pizza and one large pizza. We were one of 2 tables seated in the restaurant. We waited about 20 minutes and didn’t see our server, let alone any food. The place got crowded. Waited another 10 minutes. Still no server or food. The tables around us, who arrived after us, started getting their food. Waited another 10 minutes and mine and my husbands pizza showed up. We asked if it normally took this long for pizza, as it had been 40-45 minutes at this point. The waitress said no but didn’t elaborate. Our son’s pizza did not come. We waited about 5 minutes. No pizza. After flagging down our waitress, we asked where his food was and she tried to blame it on the kitchen “making a mistake”. We finally got his cheese pizza about 650. He was too antsy to sit still to eat so after one slice, we just asked for a box and took everything home. No apologies. No nothing. I’ll give it 3 stars because the pizza was fine. Nothing special but not bad. We won’t be coming back. Bummed. Really wanted to like this place

Great food at a fabulous price! Service is always amazing. We had the stuffed artichoke, stuffed portobello, and bread as appetizers. Shared the amazing tortellini and pizza( Mona Lisa and Greca) both flavored to the fullest!

My first visit here was very pleasant. Everyone was really nice and keeper checking up on me. I tried the lasagna and was pleased with the taste and the portion. I was thankful that everyone was so attentive. I will come back to try more on the menu. Fyi…parking lot shows that you need to scan a QR code to pay, however as long as you are parked under 2 hours, you don’t have to scan nor pay for parking.

On Saturday, 12/13 at noon. I visited this restaurant with a group of 15 coworkers, and unfortunately the experience was disappointing from start to finish. The staff was not friendly and made little effort to accommodate a member of our group who uses a wheelchair, which was especially concerning.
The food quality was poor, and when I informed the manager that my meal was unacceptable, no meaningful effort was made to resolve the issue. Rather than offering a replacement or alternative, I was handed a small saucer of seasoning to add to the dish myself, which did not address the problem.
Given the lack of hospitality, accessibility consideration, and food quality, I would not recommend this restaurant for group dining or for anyone expecting attentive service.

We’ve been coming here for years, and it’s always a great experience. The staff are consistently professional and friendly, and the food never disappoints—always delicious!

Decent sized parking lot and simple table seating. Plenty of space available for inside and outside seating. It’s a casual tone eatery. The appetizers taste good but the main dishes are just bad. The pizza has plenty of toppings but is very dry. The cheese steak Panini was horrible. I regret getting it, it was nothing more than an over toasted bouillon bread.

Second time going to this location but should’ve learned from our first experience. Food quality was not up to Collinas standards on Richmond. On our first visit I ordered my favorite eggplant parmigiana and couldn’t cut the eggplants like they’re rubber. Complained about it to the waiter and they remade it but it’s even worse.
On our recent visit we took the kids to enjoy some pizza mainly, but it looked like there’s a shortage of cheese that day. Not much of it on the pizza and again compared to Richmond location, it’s terrible. I enjoyed the lasagna but it’s cold, I guess I was hungry. One of the kids got the tortellini and he had the same issue plus it’s tasting not very good.
Also, this location is not serving wine and I know. We thought this locating is gonna be our new spot but unfortunately we are very disappointed and don’t think we will go back here.
