@cucinaalba (NY AND LA shared)

When Cucina Alba opened in New York in 2022, it became an instant classic. Earlier this year, its sister restaurant, simply called Alba, opened in West Hollywood and has garnered positive reviews, quickly becoming one of the premier classic Italian destinations in Los Angeles.

The space is large, with an outdoor patio that feels grand, lively, and a bit like a Las Vegas version of a European vacation. There are also several private dining rooms and party rooms available.

Alba has a party-like atmosphere, aided by its impressive wine and spirits list, which runs more than 30 pages. The luxe beige marble bar greets you as you enter the patio, with stiff variations on martinis, Negronis, spritzes, and a few house specials on offer.

The food is very traditional Italian-American cuisine, focusing on fresh-made pastas, local vegetables, and main-course staples such as grilled branzino, large-format steaks, and roasted chicken diavola.
