Sunday in Italy means gathering with family and friends for pranzo della domenica, Sunday lunch. It is a family ritual: a leisurely, multi-course affair that can last for hours, with seasonal vegetables and golden roast potatoes served alongside the main dish.
From 20 September, every Sunday from 12pm to 5pm, ALBA invites you to spend time with those closest to you over a choice of two roast lunch set menus.
Choose between slow-roasted veal with seasonal vegetables and golden roast potatoes, or grilled mixed fish with crispy fried squid, prawns and courgette fries - all served at one of Knightsbridge's most beautiful Italian restaurants, just opposite Harrods.
The Italian Sunday Roast
Two carefully curated Sunday roasts: one with fish, one with meat. Each is served at one fixed price with seasonal vegetables and all the trimmings. Choose your favourite, or order both to share. Settle in, take your time, and make the table yours for the afternoon.
Roast Veal - £45
Slow-roasted veal, carved and served with seasonal vegetables and golden roast potatoes. The Italian answer to the Sunday joint: gentler than beef, roasted low and slow, and built for a table that wants to linger.
Mixed Fish - £45
Grilled mixed fish with crispy fried squid and prawns, served with courgette fries. This is the Amalfi Coast on a Sunday: the day's catch from the grill, the squid and prawns fried until they crackle, and the courgette fries that everyone reaches for first.
How a Sunday Runs at ALBA
The roast is served from midday until 5pm, so it works as lunch or as a late, lingering one. The room is at its easiest in the early afternoon, with the light coming in across Brompton Road and Harrods filling the windows opposite.
Who It Suits
Sunday lunch is for families, friends and anyone who believes lunch should be given time. ALBA's two roast dishes make it easy to settle around the table, choose one or order both to share, and let the afternoon unfold over good food and another glass of wine. Whether it is a family gathering, a long lunch with friends or simply a Sunday made to feel like an occasion, it is a relaxed way to spend the afternoon together. For larger family gatherings, ALBA's private dining in Knightsbridge runs on Sundays too.
Booking a Sunday Table
Sunday tables can be booked through the ALBA website. If you are planning to join us for lunch, we recommend booking ahead, particularly for the early afternoon when tables tend to fill first. Coming for the roast? Let us know when you book and we will have it ready for you.
