🍝 LA Eats | A Weekend of Romance at Alba 💫

The space feels like a soft, Italian daydream — warm lighting, wicker chairs, curved walls, red-and-white striped tablecloths… even the murals look like they’re straight out of a film. A marble statue in the corner adds a touch of Renaissance elegance. 📖 The menu tells a story — not your typical list, but a hand-illustrated journey full of charming, life-filled details. Here are my top recommendations 😋: ⭐ PAPPARDELLE Wide ribbons of pasta coated in a rich, creamy mushroom sauce — perfectly balanced and deeply satisfying. ⭐ FOCACCIA DELLA CASA Warm, house-baked focaccia — crispy outside, soft inside — served with whipped ricotta and a drizzle of lavender honey 🌸🍯 ⭐ BRAISED SHORT RIB Red wine-braised beef short rib — tender, deeply flavorful, with a subtle sweetness from the wine. So comforting and elegant. 📌 Make a reservation — this place is popular for a reason! 📍 Alba Los Angeles 8451 Melrose Ave, Los Angeles #AlbaLA #ItalianRomance #LosAngelesEats #DateNightSpot #EatPretty #LAFoodDiary 🥂🍴
