    Exceptionally nosey table next to us. Hard to hear server and even my wife speaking next to me. Was our first time in the restaurant and not sure we will return.

    Great bartenders and great servers. Food is above average and quite nice. Cocktails look exquisite and the bar area is always jumping and clearly the place to be. Restaurant is a bit small though and tables are on top of each other. Listened to quite a few conversations tonight. Restaurant is loud but food makes it worth it. Will definitely return again.

    Décor, ambiance and attitude helped us settle into a cozy two top in the room off to the right from the entrance. We were met promptly by our waiter who proved attentive and personable. The food for all of the courses - two guests with three courses each - was very good. Nicely seasoned, natural tasting with attention to color, texture and taste. I am eagerly awaiting my next visit and I can see Restaurant Alba becoming my local, feel good, go to restaurant!

    We ordered the Cauliflower Parmigiana and Leafy Green & Chicory Salad to start. All was delicious, very good choices to start. One person had the Ravioli of Spinach & Ricotta Cheese which was fabulous. The other two chose the Ravioli with Crab and Shrimp which was one of the specials and they were very impressed.

    Do yourself and your favorite people a solid and take them to Restaurant Alba in the Borough of Malvern for a relaxing mid-day experience. Fresh and delicious with beyond ordinary lunch options, Alba is off the beaten path geographically and philosophically. House made pastas and a gelatos in an assortment of flavors were awesome and the atmosphere was a click above casual… a charming alternative to loud chain options in the less quaint part of the zip code. I wouldn't mind more vegan selections but, still, five stars for Restaurant Alba!
