The staff are friendly and very professional, the decor is smart, the chairs are comfortable and the food is lovely. It isn't cheap, but it's worth it.

The service was very friendly, and the restaurant is well presented. It’s obviously a popular place as it was pleasantly busy even on the Wednesday night that we visited. The food was excellent but is maybe a touch over priced. http://www.london-eating.co.uk/210.htm I've been to Alba several times over the past month and take every opportunity to revisit.

The all-Italian staff are confident, knowledgeable and very efficient. ... http://www.london-eating.co.uk/210.htm Excellent, reasonably formal Italian specialising in tasty Piedmontese cooking, with a serious wine list and very efficient and polite staff.

Although I love it, I often avoid it these days for this reason. However, the salad that accompanies the most succulent carpaccio is a an absolute ... http://www.london-eating.co.uk/210.htm Finally, an Italian restaurant in London that delivers cuisine that is comparable to what you'd find in Italia.
