Accidentally walked up on this restaurant while strolling & exploring Eastern Market. My Bestie and I just wanted a good place to eat with some good food and a chill ambiance. This place: La Collina DID NOT DISAPPOINT!
We were amazed with this restaurant. It seems to be a neighborhood restaurant. The service was thoughtful and attentive. 10/10
What we ate:
The AMAZING BRANZINO w/pickled onions was stellar! Now, before we ordered I took the liberty to google the reviews for the dishes…EVERYONE kept talking/RAVING about the Cauliflower & Brussel Sprouts (neither are my favorite veggie)
I stand corrected…they were outstanding!! The flavor of the cauliflower was INSANE! I couldn’t believe what I was tasting. The Brussels were in a game of their own…#Winning!
My Bestie had the Shrimp Scampi that was also awesome!!! The manager, Ryan came over to the table…we had to rave about the food and service…Like I said, THANK THE KITCHEN for the entire meal…1000 Stars!!!
We will be back and I am already looking forward to it…Thank you to the Wonderful Staff (Isha & Mgr Ryan..I forgot the other waitress name, but Thanks Sis!)

I don’t often write reviews, but as a restaurant owner, I would just like to say that this was one of the best dining experiences I have had in a very long time. From our initial greeting, to your new GM(absolute doll), to Aaron who was perfect in every way. Kiddos to your team! Very rarely do I find a place that exceeds all my expectations from food and service, but this was it! I am in the area at least once a month, and this will become my new got to place. Cauliflower, meatball, garlicky bread, lasagna and tagliatelle were perfection! Thank you again for a perfect evening!

We celebrated a birthday here recently. Everything we had was good, although the cauliflower was my favorite veggie (and that is saying something because I LOVE brussels sprouts and burrata–both good but that cauliflower was so amazing). My favorite of the pastas we had was the vodka sauce, but the lasagna was also fabulous.

Had only an okay experience here, wouldn’t necessarily recommend. Waited 15 minutes to be seated even though I had a reservation. The food lacked flavor. Ordered: meatballs – good; garlic bread – okay; bolognese – noodles were hard/undercooked; and shrimp scampi – bland, just okay; olive oil cake – okay. Server was kind, no problems there. Overall, a bland / average experience. The interior design is nice – that’s one positive. Though it’s affordable, I would spend a little more to go somewhere else.

First time dining at La Collina. Came in mid-week for dinner. Superbly positive all-around experience, hence 5-stars, but 1 critique on the food.
BEST PART:
– Watching the employees work well as a team.
– Ambiance
WHO I’D RECOMMEND LA COLLINA FOR:
– Dates
– Holiday celebrations, anniversaries
– Friend dates
– Groups
– Solo individual (nice individual seating areas and some small tables for one)
– Tourists who want to experience quality Italian dining in DC without breaking the bank
AMBIANCE:
– Music is set low, so you don’t have to yell to chat w your dining partner or spit food into their ears so they can hear you.
– Lighting is well-done, soft and comfortable, yet not so dim that you need to use a flashlight for your menu.
Rosa was lovely. Had it not been for her warm welcome and smiling energy, I would not have sat down to try Collina and learn that it’s a place worth recommending to everyone who visits Eastern Market.
I felt welcome, valued as a patron, and well-treated by all members of staff, from those who brought my waters to other waiters to the manager. As a minority, I am sensitive to being treated poorly due to racist environments I’ve been in, in areas of the south and the New England region. I felt very comfortable at La Collina.
They sell espressos and pastries during Eastern Market weekend hours in the summer; very cute outdoor seating area. Ideal place to meet neighbors on weekends.
FOOD
The cacio e pepe was very watery / buttery. My experience w the dish in Italy was more sticky and pungent in flavor. Perhaps this is La Collina’s style, but I was expecting it to be more pecorino cheesy/peppery than watery.
For the salt-sensitive — One of the other Google reviewers complained that this dish was too salty, so I requested it unsalted. The kitchen served a regular version then realized they didn’t provide me the dish unsalted and promptly fixed it, so I was able to try both. The regular version was really not that salty, so don’t worry about that other review’s negative take on La Collina’s food. Of course, the unsalted version, was notably better to me, but I understand most Americans do enjoy their salt intake.

Okay, first off: to the very kind person who, Friday night, complimented my nail polish: I checked and I thiiiiink the brand I used was OPI Nail Lacquer, “Mi Casa Es Blue Casa,” #NLM92 . I hope this helps! The bottle didn’t have the name on it (I think it came in a pack), but I looked at the OPI website and I’m 99% sure that’s the right brand and specific color.
Second: the restaurant!!! Everything was delicious and the staff was lovely and helpful and respectful and great. : ) A friend and I got the $40 Restaurant Week deal, and it was excellent. Highly recommend, definitely wanna come back soon.

Came here for an impromptu Friday dinner and was blown away–probably one of my favorite meals in DC. The dishes are simple yet elevated and everything is so flavorful and fresh. We especially loved the tuna carpaccio, bruschetta, and the tiramisu semifreddo (!!!!). Drinks were nice too! Lovely service from Aja

Had a great experience here. All our dishes were very tasty and the drinks were top notch. Our server was excellent. The restaurant is very clean and stylish. Bonus points for the kid friendliness for such an upscale place.

We absolutely loved La Collina! The food and drinks were amazing and I especially appreciated the detailed allergen/dietary restriction menu. I’ve found that a lot of vegetarian dishes need extra salt, but the alla vodka was beyond perfect. Our server Aaron was great throughout the whole evening and we will absolutely be back!

Best best best lasagna!!! And the olive oil cake was so nice, we wanted more. Everything from lovely service, to lighting, to modern decor was my favorite in DC.
