Cucina Alba

Which TikTok-Famous Restaurants In NYC Are Actually Good?

"Verdict: Approved if you're looking for a new boyfriend with a boat. Otherwise, eh. Cucina Alba is one of the sceniest new restaurants in NYC, situated in Chelsea by the High Line. The look they’re going for is “urbanite’s Italian holiday,” which means you should expect a bright space with pops of pink, floor-to-ceiling windows, and sightings of mid-level celebrities whose own European holidays consist of snagging invites onto richer people’s yachts. The summer-fling feeling of the space could be appealing if your seasonal depression has already hit, but the food won't inspire you to start planning a trip abroad. Cucina Alba feels like any other Fashion Week-friendly spot where eating is secondary to being seen." - neha talreja
