Wow! Customer service was super nice! Our server Shannon was amazing! She was kind and attentive, even tho it was super busy! The ambience was super lively. The restaurant was very clean and very nicely decorated, even the bathrooms were clean! The food was delicious! My husband ordered the Pappardelle, which is a mushroom pasta, sooo delicious!! I ordered the lasagna, which has 3 meats, omg that was phenomenal!! We also ordered dessert: Tiramisu, that was so good as well! Everything here was excellent and would highly recommend!

Alba LA is becoming a Beverly Hills Icon, the food is excellent, the atmosphere is great.
The place was buzzing, every table was full.
Reservations are a must.
In our excitement I forgot to take pics of the starters and main course.
The main course needs the side dishes to complete it – make sure you ask the staff how the food comes. Makes it super easy to share.
Everything was great.
We will be coming again.

Absolutely epic! I love the classic old Hollywood vibes with vibrant colors accented with light toned furniture. My waiter was incredible and I can’t wait to go see him again.

I had an amazing dining experience at Alba! The chicken in a rich, savory sauce was incredibly tender and full of flavor, making for a comforting and satisfying dish. The focaccia was perfectly baked—golden and crispy on the outside, soft on the inside—and paired beautifully with the accompanying dip. Don’t want to forget the waitresses we had multiple were amazing always checking on us.
The overall atmosphere was warm and inviting. I highly recommend this place for cuisine in a cozy setting. I can’t wait to return!

I had the pleasure of visiting Alba for NYE 2025 and had a great time! The ambience felt cool and elevated. The music was on point. But naturally, the star of the show was the food – insanely delicious. Not a single plate missed! The focaccia is a must. My girlfriend and I almost ordered two Truffle pastas that were definitely our favorite dishes of the night. The crudo also had a great flavor. We had the apple dessert to top things off – extremely satisfied! The only downside was that they ran out of squash blossoms.
I look forward to trying that on the next visit. Also, phenomenal service and staff! We’ll be back 🙂

Without question, one of the best dining experiences in LA, if not the best.
I brought my parents from Australia, both serious foodies and they were completely blown away.
From the moment we arrived, the service was exceptional. There’s a real sense of positivity and kindness throughout the restaurant- the friendliness is infectiousand it truly feels like a new era of dining where warmth and professionalism go hand in hand.
The manager Judith was so incredibly thoughtful and took such amazing care of us throughout the night. Kevin was also great, very attentive and friendly.
The food is spectacular. Every dish is perfection, not a single miss. I especially loved the shrimp and the foccacia bread with the most incredible ricotta spread.
The ambience is absolutely stunning. The space makes you feel like you’re in a different realm. The lighting is perfect, the music is upbeat at just the right volume and the overall energy has real soul.
From start to finish, the entire experience feels elevated, comforting and just right. A true 10/10. There’s nowhere better in LA to eat!

Went to Alba and honestly? My taste buds are still writing me thank-you notes.
• Orecchiette: Little pasta hugs from Italy itself. Ate them so fast I think I blacked out for a minute.
• Focaccia della Casa: Fluffier than my self-esteem after three glasses of wine. I would like to be buried in this bread, thanks.
• Hamachi: Smooth, buttery, and fresher than my comebacks. Honestly, if this fish had a Tinder profile, I’d swipe right immediately.
Service? Chic. Vibes? Giving “first date worthy but also I’d happily come alone just to make eye contact with the focaccia.”

This may be the best Italian restaurant in all of Los Angeles and I don’t say that lightly having frequented all of them. Service is exceptional but who cares because THE FOOD IS INSANE. Must get the bread with whipped ricotta MUST! The head chef literally wrote a book on bread…then the chef highly recommends the agnolotti that tastes like French onion soup dumplings. It’s so unique and sensational. It’s light so you then need to get the ORECCHIETTE
arrabbiata which is not spicy and tastes like the world’s best spicy vodka sauce but made with burrata instead of whole milk. I can’t recommend these dishes and this restaurant enough. Lastly, get the chef’s recommended dessert which apparently was a Greek pastry that the chef turned into an Italian dessert. I don’t have the name but it’s a square shape with raspberries and like a baked custard consistency…enjoy potentially the best Italian meal of your life!

I dine out constantly and work in hospitality, so I’m very forgiving when things are busy. What we experienced at Alba was not that—it was poor, inconsistent service wrapped in a pretty room.
This was a first visit for all of us, celebrating a friend’s birthday. Upon arrival, part of our group was told we could not be seated until the entire party arrived—despite us being clearly together and seconds behind. Once seated, we were placed at one of the worst tables in the restaurant, even though better options were visibly available.
Our server, Shannon, never properly greeted us, failed to introduce herself, avoided eye contact, and rushed through the menu with no clarity. When we asked a simple and reasonable question about portion sizes and recommendations, she responded with a passive-aggressive comment: “Did I not already run through the menu with you?” That set the tone for the rest of the night.
Service was inattentive throughout—no water refills, no check-ins, and long stretches of being ignored. Other servers repeatedly stepped in to help while Shannon walked past our table without acknowledgment. Meanwhile, tables that arrived after us were clearly prioritized. To make matters worse, we later watched another guest seated alone for an extended time while waiting for his party—directly contradicting the rule we were given.
Alba charges premium prices and markets itself as an experience. Unfortunately, the hospitality did not match. We left feeling overlooked, rushed, and treated like a transaction rather than guests. Beautiful space, deeply disappointing execution.
