Absolutely.

Kids are always welcome at Alba.
In Italy, children grow up at the table, and we love having families dine with us.

And we say it with love.

Alba is focused entirely on Southern Italian home cooking, the kind you would eat at nonna’s house.
Slow sauces, handmade pasta, shared dishes.

Pizza deserves its own space and its own craft, and we prefer to do one thing properly rather than everything halfway.

So no pizza here.
Just proper Southern Italian food, cooked the way it should be.
