The Open Kitchen at ALBA
Pasta shaped to order, bread proved overnight, the wood-fired pizza oven at one end of the line. The dining room watches it all happen.
A Working Kitchen on View
ALBA's kitchen is open behind a brass-edged counter at the back of the dining room. Pasta is rolled and cut to order on the marble pass. Bread proves overnight in the prover. The wood-fired pizza oven, imported from Naples, sits at one end of the line: 480 degrees, three minutes to a Margherita. Service moves in waves; the line stays composed.
Our Executive Chef at the Pass
Our Executive Chef calls the pass through dinner service. Counter seats opposite the line give guests the same view of the kitchen the chef has of the room. The Chef's Table Experience (8 to 10 guests in the Cabina del Capitano) takes the open kitchen one step further: a sommelier-led pairing alongside a tailored tasting menu cooked from the pass with kitchen commentary across the courses.
