"We have visited La Collina twice in the last 6 years. The first visit was prior to the name change just after the new owners purchased the business. Unfortunately, we were disappointed. I had hoped that after several years, there would have been improvements since their purchase. The hostess was kind and offered to take our coats, which was a hospitable gesture. However, when we were leaving, the hostess was not available, and we had to ask other staff members about our coats. I ended up having to walk to the back of the restaurant to retrieve our coats, which were hanging up by a rear entrance. Our martinis were only 2/3 full, and my drink was prepared incorrectly, so I had to send it back. Unfortunately, it was returned still only 2/3 full. We ordered Stracciatella soup, which was not good. The soup lacked sophistication in its preparation and was greasy. The texture resembled sawdust rather than the expected shredded egg and Parmesan cheese. For our main courses, my wife ordered the Linguine Nere allo Scoglio, which had insufficient seafood, and I had the Strozzapretti Norcina, which had very little Italian sausage. Both dishes were requested to be cooked al dente but turned out mushy and served luke warm. Despite these disappointments, the restaurant had a lively atmosphere, and our waiter was nice.
