Everyone has a certain restaurant that has special meaning for them, for me this place is Alba's. I have loved this restaurant since day one , when many years ago i started coming here with a dear friend who has since passed away. I tried so many different meals at Alba's over the years, enjoying their soups , entrees ranging from a fabulous hamburger to one of the nicest filets i have ever had. Alba's is also the place i tried chicken parmesan for the very first time, and i have to say if i had known how good they made it i would have ordered it there years ago.
The owner Leo, is a hands on old fashioned restaurant owner who checks on the customers to ensure they are satisfied and will even pour you a glass of wine if he notices you are running low. A classic touch that i always love, so many restaurants you never see who is running the show.
I recently went to Alba's with a friend and we both got the 3 course meal for $25. A fabulous deal , that includes, an appetizer , and entree and a dessert. I got the celery root bisque with lobster meat. It was delicious, very flavorful and creamy. For dinner i got the salmon with risotto, a beautiful piece of fish. Fresh without a fishy smell and the risotto was cooked perfectly and was just the right accompaniment to the salmon. We shared a couple of bottles of pinot grigio that i very much enjoyed, one thing you will not be disappointed too at Alba's is their extensive wine list.
For dessert we both had the banana bread pudding with banana ice cream, it was delicious. The ice cream served on top of the warm bread pudding with a melted carmel sauce was a perfect ending to a fabulous meal. But a fabulous meal is something i have come to getting used too at Alba's and i look forward to going back for my next meal.
Have a great night and an even better meal.
