ALBA London - Italian Restaurant Knightsbridge

A Wonderful Dining Experience – Made Exceptional by Raquel From the moment we arrived, the experience at this restaurant was nothing short of stellar. The atmosphere was elegant yet warm, and every detail—from the lighting to the pacing of the courses—was beautifully considered. But what truly elevated the evening was the impeccable service from Raquel. She was everything anyone could hope for in a server: poised, genuinely attentive, effortlessly observant, and incredibly tuned in to the details. She listened with care, anticipated needs without being intrusive, and carried herself with such grace and professionalism that she genuinely made the night feel special. The food was of top-tier quality—each dish crafted with finesse and depth of flavor. If I had one suggestion, it would be to slightly increase the portion sizes, especially given the high standard of the meal. That said, the culinary experience was memorable. Every staff member we interacted with was friendly and unpretentious—refreshing for a restaurant of this caliber, where service can sometimes veer into the overly formal or aloof. Here, it was welcoming and sincere from start to finish. A memorable evening, made perfect by a team that truly cares—and especially by Raquel. I’ll be back.

What a wonderful setting. Raquel served us, she was knowledgable and attentive and the food was amazing! I wish we could have stayed for longer (it was an impromptu last minute booking before the theatre). One of my favourite dining experiences ever! Delicious food and we were made to feel really special, absolutely will be revisiting! ❤️

The atmosphere is over nice it’s above a furniture shop so the design inside stunning. The service is also really good. The waiters are very nice and enthusiastic about their food. The food overall is good above-average and pastas are stunning amazing definitely to try them. The starters are generally good somewhere to salty. Some are little bit too plain from my taste but dessert ice cream. It’s okay not the best so overall it’s a place that’s recommended to visit and give it a try.

An amazing experience at Alba, enjoyable atmosphere & we were well looked after by Pepe - he couldn’t be more friendly and attentive whist giving us some great food and drink recommendations. The food was delicious! My favourite dish was the truffle pasta - the whole service felt so unique and the food is presented brilliantly, not to mention the restaurant itself is stunning. Would highly recommend and will definitely be back!

Alba was a good experience overall. The décor is absolutely gorgeous, and the location is excellent. The service was friendly and attentive although I did make a request for pepper sauce, and unfortunately, the waiter never came back to update me after supposedly checking with the chef. As someone who eats steak 4–5 times a week, I had high expectations. While the quality of the meat was good, the experience fell a bit short for me. A good steak needs the right sides and sauces, and I was disappointed by the lack of traditional options like proper fries, pepper, or mushroom sauce. These small details really matter when you’re used to great steak meals. That said, Alba is very reasonably priced and has a lot of potential, especially for locals like myself looking for quality halal steak which is hard to find in the area. If the menu could offer more flexibility with traditional steak accompaniments or cater to these specific requests, I’d definitely become a regular.

From start to finish the service received was nothing other than 5 star. Everything in this restaurant has been formulated for the best dining experience. If like me you are a fan of raw fish I highly recommend the yellow fish and truffle it was AMAZING. Thank you for making our evening so special we enjoyed every second and every bite! Can't wait to come back.

Absolutely fantastic experience! The food was delicious—authentic flavors, beautifully presented. The location and interiors are spectacular ! But what really made the evening special was the service. Giuseppe was an absolute star! He was not only attentive and professional, but also incredibly funny. His warm personality and great sense of humor made us feel right at home and kept us smiling all night. A truly pleasant and memorable dinner—we’ll definitely be back!

From the moment we walked in, we were impressed by the warmth and kindness of the welcoming team that made us feel special from the beginning. The service was impeccable. As they have a sharing concept of the food, we had a bit of everything. For starters we had a seafood salad, prawns and beef carpacccios and the must have burrata mozzarella. We enjoyed some of the pastas - was absolutely fabulous, creamy texture, smooth taste, simply delicious. Each dish was thoughtfully prepared, beautifully presented, and bursting with flavor. Is definitely a must go to, 101% recommended if you wanna get an unforgettable experience!
