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