Our Story
Innovating for a global palate since 1987.
La Collina has delighted diners with world-class cuisine, service, and ambiance for more than 35 remarkable years. Classically-trained staff serve a selection of the finest old-world recipes in an atmosphere of casual elegance, while owner Enzo Valent carefully attends to every detail.
Opened in 1986, La Collina has proudly been serving the Philadelphia area with delicious traditional Italian cuisine with warm and attentive service. The owner, Enzo Valent, was born into a wine making family in a little farm town called Belfiore in the Veneto region. Since the age of 13, he has been working and traveling in the food and hospitality industries. His passion for excellent service and world class cuisine has allowed for La Collina to thrive over the last 35 years.
La Collina specializes in fresh seafood and veal dishes. Its signature dish, Dover Sole, is a delicate, tasty fish that is uniquely grilled, and served tableside. In addition to our Dover Sole, our daily fresh-fish specials include Branzino, Norwegian Salmon, Pompano, Orata, soft-shell crabs, Langostina, and other delights from the sea, depending upon availability. We are also known for our veal sirloin, veal porterhouse, ossobuco, and chops.
We invite you to join us for an unforgettable dining experience. Buon Appetito!
