Great food. Great service. Owners great guy. Always walks around makes sure you are good. Love going there.

This place was an amazing restaurant by far. The service there was impeccable. They were so nice and they did their job very well. I ordered the bolognese and it was big enough for two people. It had an amazing flavor in the shredded cheese on top and the sauce with the pasta made it perfect. It was also a little bit dark to enhance the atmosphere and I thought it was very nice. I cannot wait to come back here because of how good the food is and the restaurant. The only minor problem that I had was that the lava cake that we had for desert didn't have the melted chocolate ganache inside. It just didnt melt but it was still very good. This was an awesome place and I highly recommend it to everyone.

So I came to Alba’s for my partner and his sister birthday dinner. Which it’s was in November My mother in law new the manger lol. The food was fabulous the vibe of the restaurant was inviting. Was my second time eating here. I have to say for the second time around . Food was much better .

Came here when we went to Boston, and we walked from our Airbnb. This place has such a great rooftop vibe - very energetic and lively. We had fresh oysters here, and they were so huge and fresh. I loved them. Then, we had a salmon sushi roll, and that was the best salmon I have ever had. We shared the sword fish steak, and it was a bit fishy at first, but it was good after a few bites. This place was very good though, and I highly recommend it.

I have been here multiple times and sat in all the rooms and rooftop bar. The rooftop is very nice, with a full bar and tv, perfect for warm days. The two different dining areas in the interior have different vibes, one is a nice restaurant that could border on formal and the other side has a bit more of a bar vibe. It can be a bit confusing to find the main entrance as there is a big glass sliding door that stays locked on the side where the main street is. The door is actually on the corner. ALBA and Zef cicchetti are part of the same restaurant so it pops up as both when you search it. The servers have always been attentive without rushing. The food was DELICIOUS. I'm a big seafood lover and the raw bar/seafood options do not disappoint. I can recommend Crab cakes and raw oysters for an appetizer. These were the best raw oysters I've ever had. For entrees I can recommend the Diavolo linguine and the grilled octopus. Both were very tasty. I highly recommend getting an order of truffle fries because they are addictive. It all paired nicely with a Chianti red wine. I will for sure come here again on date night. Suitable for solo, friends, families and dates. More upscale and pricey of a setting but well worth it in the food! It's central location to Quincy Allows for a bit of a run around looking for parking but it is doable and it is also fairly close to the Red Line T. It is nice to take a stroll along the strip after dinner and take in Quincy Center.

First and foremost, our server was so attentive and experienced. The service was impeccable, really happy about that. The oysters were so fresh and the steak was seared a perfect medium rare. For dessert, the Panna Cotta was so good. Prices are also reasonable and I won't hesitate to come back!

It was our first time there! We loved it! It was perfect - we came at a quiet lunch time and enjoyed the elegant athmosphere and very good food! We will definitely be back. We tried soups, regular and lamb burgers and chicken parmesan. We also had a bottle of prosecco and lemonades. Everything was great! It seems the server was just starting out and still learning, but was pleasant and did a good job in general... In the summer they are using a roof top for dining - something I should experience, too.
