Sunday Lunch in Knightsbridge
An Italian Sunday lunch on Brompton Road. Doors open at twelve, tables hold for three hours, the kitchen runs at the right Sunday pace. Pasta cut to order, the daily oyster bar, the ALBA Pizza on the pass.
Sunday, at the Right Pace
Sunday lunch at ALBA opens at midday and runs into the afternoon at its own pace. The kitchen leans into the day. A longer pasta course, a wider bread basket, the oyster bar set and ready by noon. Tables hold for three hours without fuss. Drinks come unhurried. The dining room fills with a softer noise than a weeknight, candles still lit at three.
On the Sunday Table
The Sunday menu reads the same as the rest of the week, with the weight nudged toward dishes that suit a long table. The signature ALBA Pizza topped with Fior di latte, scrambled eggs and caviar. Lobster Linguine in tomato bisque. The daily oyster and seafood display, scallops dressed in 'nduja butter. Risotto con Gambero finished tableside. Wine pours in carafes. Espresso closes the meal, a Limoncello if the table is in the mood, and back into Knightsbridge before the sun sets.
