Italian cooking is quietly one of the most vegetable-literate cuisines in the world. At ALBA London, the vegetarian side of the menu is treated with the same seriousness as everything else: handmade pasta, wood-fired vegetables, and a signature pizza, on Brompton Road opposite Harrods.
Vegetarian Cooking, Taken Seriously
Good Italian cooking doesn't treat vegetarian dishes as an afterthought. The tradition is full of them: pasta dressed with tomato and basil, wood-fired vegetables, mozzarella and burrata. At ALBA, vegetarian guests order from a menu designed to give them the same range and generosity as everyone else at the table.
What Vegetarians Order at ALBA
The Margherita della Nonna with buffalo mozzarella; the burrata with heritage tomatoes; the aubergine parmigiana; the ALBA Tagliatelle with black truffle; the artichoke alla Romana and the other antipasto vegetables. The Italian menu is cooked with halal-certified products. The team is happy to guide guests through what suits a vegetarian, vegan or other requirement.
The vegetarian menu leans on the same hand-cut ALBA Tagliatelle and wood-fired signature pizza as the à la carte, and pairs with the midweek set lunch.
