This is a late review as I had visited during the summer but I wanted to leave a review since I said I would and had a good experience!
The squid ink pasta was delicious. The house salad was also delicious and incredibly fresh. I also enjoyed the blondie dessert. Drinks were great.
Hospitality from the owner was 5/5. Thank you, Don! Still dreaming about that pasta!!

I specifically went there because a was going through a pasta withdrawal after watching the white-truffle-cacio-pepe episode on Landman a couple of weeks ago. Another reviewer had heaped praise on that dish at La Collins and, boy, did it deliver!! My son had their chicken dish and was really pleased at how good it was. Price was right, service was terrific and I will be back. Really awesome!!

I am Italian born in Rome and I love this restaurant. I have been there three times already. But the last time I was there the waiter (by the way, a very attentive, professional and friendly young man) at the end of the dinner with my girl friend, suggested her a sip of “Vin Santo”, an Italian sweet wine. Well, that sip (for one person) in a mini-glass, was $28.00! For less than this amount, I can get a shot of 15 years old pure Malt whisky from the Scotlands. That is really too much. But, having said that, this is a great place to enjoy authentic Italian food. So I still recommend it, and i will still go back. I will just avoid to order Vin Santo! 🙂

La Collina in Rochester Hills! I would give 0 stars if I could! I have been to this restaurant a few times and always with a group and their food quality has gone down drastically! We ordered a Caesars salad for two. The romain lettuce was old and wilted! The dressing was awful. Service was slow and several dishes were incorrect. We had to ask for pepper on our salad.
When complaining about the salad the owner ( who was our waiter) sarcastically told my friend well the other 3 liked it! That wasn’t true we just didn’t say anything. But when he came back to the table I told him it was terrible and was charged $28! He got in my face and said we should be grateful because he did us a favor and did separate checks for 9 of us! He also said I should respect and be grateful because I was in his house! We were HIS guests! He has lost me forever! I will NOT go back! Don’t waste your time and money for mediocre overpriced food and terrible customer service from the owner!
The eggplant was not bad but what ruined it was the deep fried spinach! Horrible! If they took the time to sauté it in olive oil and fresh garlic it would have been wonderful!
This is definitely NOT good Italian food!
Go to Silverspoon! Even Bologna’s is far better!

Seeing as it was Valentine’s Day few real things drew back from our experience the customary rose and candle were missing from our table, the server only checked on us once which is expected on Valentines. The manager was extremely friendly greeting everyone around however the food took extremely long even for Valentine’s. However the overall experience was good.

Celebrated a birthday with my cousins was the best experience we’ve had. The food was absolutely incredible! Service was spectacular, Mario was just amazing. And to top it off with delicious dessert & French pressed coffee. Cannot wait to go back again, definitely an experience everyone should try.

We had a terrible experience at another Italian place down the road, so we left and came here. The hostesses were awesome when we told them we did not have a reservation and what had happened. Despite being packed and a Saturday night, they managed to get us in in about 10 minutes. The service and food were both outstanding. We will for sure be back. Before leaving we took a few minutes to thank the owner and praise his staff. He was so thankful and when he found out we were celebrating a birthday insisted we stay for a drink on him. Thanks everyone at La Collina for a great meal!

Wow is the best word to describe this restaurant. The food, service and ambience was beyond our expectations. The bread and the eggplant dip that was included in our dinner was so delicious. Two of us had the filet mignon… amazing. And one on us had the seafood linguini that she said was superb. The Panna cotta and the lemon cake was so good. Even the French press coffee you couldn’t have just one. Our waiter Mario went above and beyond. They all treated us like royalty! Definitely will go again. Can’t believe didn’t know about this place as I so at the Popa Joe’s and its in the same strip mall. Do go you will actually love this place.

The food and our waiter were amazing. Unfortunately our experience was ruined by a table behind us that was loud and overserved. But what made it unbearable was that whenever their waiter came over he would rile them up even more. They were so loud that patrons and waiters at the far side of the restaurant were looking and visibly upset. No management ever stepped in to ask them to quiet down or to tell their waiter to stop. The atmosphere reminded me of a sports bar, which is fine if that’s what you want, but we wanted and paid for a romantic quiet dinner.

I took my mom here for dinner and the food was amazing. We had the salmon and filet; both were so tasty. Dessert was to die for. Loved the ambiance and the service. The owner is the absolute best too. We’re already planning our next visit.
