Alba Restaurant — Restaurant in Quincy

We came to Albas for a going away party. New England weather had been unseasonably warm lately, but this evening, there was a chill to the air. Upon arriving at Albas, we were greeted by one of their employees who held the door open and greeted us warmly. Not only was that a pleasant surprise, but the warmth coming from the heat of the restaurant took the chill off from the outside. The hostess was pleasant and directed us to where our party had already started. We were set up in the back area behind the bar. The lighting is a little dim, but the giant bay window allows the light to come in. We had a buffet that consisted of oysters, giant cocktail shrimp, ceasar salad, pasta, meatballs, chicken, and pizza. Then we had a dessert sampler. The waiters were extremely attentive and quick. The food is always A-1. We've had several parties at this location, and they NEVER disappoint. Whether it is on the roof top in the summer or down in the restaurant area, Albas is classy and comfortable. The downstairs bar area has the games playing on several televisions. But it is not loud or overpowering where you can't hear the person speaking next to you. Great place to come after work for a nice meal with friendly staff. The restaurant side of Albas has a nice ambiance. Classy and chic, quiet and exclusive. Great place for a client or partner dinner or a nice place to go on a date. The staff on this side are very professional and also attentive. Your glass will never be empty, and your needs will always be met to the best of their ability. The food is delicious and filling. The prices, in my opinion, were reasonable for the quality and entire dining experience. Come visit Albas, you won't be...

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...

The bartenders that "work" at the roof top are seriously awful! And Lazy!!! My friend and I went there for the first time yesterday. Waited and waited at the bar and no one came around at all!!!!!! I tried getting the attention of one of the girls and nothing. One blond girl long hair was useless! Just standing looking around not helping. We Still waited. Then a young women went behind the bar i asked her if I can order some drinks. She was not the bartender but she did went out of her way to help!!!! I don't know her name but I will make a call to speak to the manager/owner because that young women was helping everyone!!! She was great!!! She deserves a raise!!! Some girl finally came around. A While later I tried to get another drink and the same thing happened!!! Mind you the place wasn't crowded and plenty of bar people not helping. The bartenders having a chat not giving a shit about the customers! Laughing and standing next to the register! My friend and I got tired of the bad service I even had to stand up to ask if we could get the bill to pay and were told someone will bring the check...2 beers!! My friend and I wanted to get some more drinks but the lack of service got us to leave! ALSO There were 2 other people right next to me that were waiting for a while to get drinks. RIDICULOUS!!!!! OWNER Management definitely NEEDS to SPEAK and TRAIN the bar people. No need to ignore customers!!! A job is a job! Do the job!!! HORRIBLE...
