Alba Restaurant – Italian
Alba Restaurant glows with a sophisticated yet soulful energy, where the botanical notes of a Violet Beauregard cocktail and the convivial hum of a lively happy hour invite guests to settle in and linger. The kitchen masters the art of elevated comfort, pairing tender, wine-braised lamb shanks and crisp pan-roasted halibut with playful starters like creamy deviled eggs and jewel-toned beet salads. From the refined elegance of a marinated hanger steak to the communal joy of a signature Monday night burger, every meal is a masterclass in balanced flavors and polished neighborhood hospitality.
