Amalfi-Inspired Italian & Japanese Restaurant in Knightsbridge, London
The story behind
Alba London
ALBA means sunrise in Italian: the first light over the water, and along the Amalfi Coast the hour the boats come back in with the catch that shapes the day's menu. The name was chosen for what it says about the cooking, not for a place on the map.
Our Knightsbridge menu brings together Amalfi-inspired Italian cuisine and Japanese dining through a shared love of the sea. From exquisite seafood and seasonal ingredients to handmade pasta, crudo and Japanese specialities, each dish reflects ALBA’s philosophy of exceptional sourcing, considered preparation and generous hospitality.
ALBA London brings two culinary traditions together, creating memorable experiences in every mouthful.
