Alba Salentinian Restaurant

Best Known For

Sous vide and oven-baked beef cheek, with jus and broad bean purée.

Sharing Nonna's handwritten recipes, Alba Salentinian Restaurant on King Street dishes up a taste of regional Italy to Newtown diners. A warm and rustic ambience of exposed brick, subway tiles and blackboard specials on the walls, sets the scene for authentic dining from a menu championing the cuisine from the Southern Italian province of Salento. Aiming to keep traditions alive through generations, expect to delve into beef carpaccio, stracciatella and roasted tomatoes to start; before saying buon appetito to slow-cooked octopus with tomatoes, red wine, herbs, potatoes and fried bread. Pasta lovers will salivate over housemade linguine with whole crayfish, Italian herbs and seafood bisque sauce. Finish with a decadent dessert of tiramisu made from a family recipe.
