Best Authentic Restaurants in Bala Cynwyd

Excellent food and great service. Amazing for those with Celiac or a gluten free lifestyle. Nearly everything is or can be made gluten free. Corn tortillas made in house, which sets them a world apart from others. Gf grilled mahi tacos were awesome, vegetarian tacos were too. They had zero issue modifying food for our kids’ preferences. Drinks were awesome too, the Paloma was refreshing and balanced and the Oaxaca Old Fashioned was a spirit forward mouth of spice. My spouse really liked the mango margarita and the vegetarian options.

We had a thoroughly enjoyable, delicious meal at La Collina from start to finish and would highly recommend. Service was exceptional and each one of us had a great dinner. The pasta special was outstanding (do not hesitate), but I have to admit that the gorgonzola filled gnocchi enjoyed by my GF were pretty amazing as well. Her husband had no difficulty devouring his entire chicken park and my husband was delighted that he could order and enjoy veal parm not included on the menu. While I do not usually order my own dessert, I just could not pass up the Lemon Gelato with Limoncello and I have to say that it was positively amazing. I cannot recall having such an unusual and memorable dessert and only wish I could re-create it. It was served in a champagne flute and I refused to leave a trace behind. Our server was extremely professional and very pleasant. It was a Tuesday evening and the restaurant was pleasantly quiet and she permitted us to stay and visit without rushing us out the door. Our valet kindly brought our vehicles to the front door and delivered the keys to our table so we were able to avoid getting wet with the light rain. Very thoughtful. All in all a great meal and we are already looking forward to a return visit.

The place is very low key but the drinks and food is good. Might be the best Jamaican restaurant in Phila

Food was great. Excellent service. The owner came around to check on us.

The food was very creative and superbly prepared. Our waiter was very engaging and helpful with making suggestions for a less adventurous eater. All of us were thrilled with the experience. A wonderful dinner.
