   Great Italian food , attentive service, and amazing atmosphere. I am impressed how they remember all my likes and preferences from my past visits. Always glad to come back and enjoy state of the art food and a wonderful bottle of Italian wine .

   Alba is AMAZING! This is the best restaurant in Houston and we have been to them all. Chef Ferrarese is a true artist! The presentation of his food was amazing. The presentation of the dishes is the best of any restaurant we have been to anywhere (including many Michelin star restaurants). The food is outstanding. Alba is the best of the best. If you have not been here and truly appreciate fine dining, you must try Alba. You will not be disappointed. Do not skip dessert! The restaurant is beautiful inside and great for a date! The wine list may not be as extensive as some in this price range but it is well thought out with many great choices and covers every need and want. Chef Ferrarese does not miss any detail. The wait staff were very attentive, friendly, and of course professional. Don’t miss going here. This was our first time to try Alba but it definitely will not be the last!

   Amazing service, wine list , food and experience overall . New dishes on the menu that really are great. Panzanella salad, seafood risotto and veal filet Milanese. True Italian restaurant . I add black truffle on the Milanese and it was entirely worth the price .

   Honestly service overall was good. We had many people serving us and the maître d' was phenomenal, but our primary server was distracted and unhelpful at times. Other servers and even the chef made up for it. Everything else, including the food, was great. Highly recommend.

   Lovely experience. Great wine list and nice selection of champagnes at the champagne bar. The food is authentic Italian . I loved the Burrata and the octopus . The steak was cooked perfectly and the carbonara pasta was amazing . Service has been great and the place is a nice romantic spot . Desserts are unique.

Chef Maurizzio is so personable and even sent a lovely text today to thank us for dining at Alba. This is truly a gem in Houston! We will definitely be back.

    Alba Ristorante was the perfect spot to celebrate my husbands birthday. Chef Maurizio is absolutely incredibly talented and personable. I cannot describe in words how amazing this place is you have to understand by the feelings you get when you are eating and experiencing your dinning experience. We will most defiantly be back the level of detail and service you receive is like no where I have been in the states. The hospitality and quality of dinning was beyond expectations. It is totally worth every penny and second you spend. Thank you for an unforgettable romantic evening! - The Canales's

    Very talented and humble chef who gets out of the kitchen quite often to visit. Staff is courteous and very pleasant. Food is absolutely amazing. Pricey of course but worth every penny for special occasions or a once in a while treat

    We started with a lovely amousse bouche that was a delightful introduction to the chef's creativity. Then we enjoyed the foie grasse appetizer. This was a miss for me but a win for my date who truly loved it. The bread service was interesting and unique and complimented the meal. For entrees, we decided on the duck breast for me and the steak for my date. Both were cooked perfectly. I've eaten at the best steakhouses in the city and my steak has come out far undercooked or under seasoned. There is no reason why a patron should need to focus on the cook or seasoning of a steak when a steak costs over $70. Alba honored both of the meats and prepared them along modest side items. But dessert.... We had *three* separate courses for dessert. The first was a lovely surprise dessert for our celebration. I will not ruin the surprise, but it was delightful and entertaining. The second was the house specialty dessert. Although decadent, my date and I were fighting over the last piece. Finally, the house provides a parting gift for each patron that calms the palette. The negatives? The bar is not great. I ordered the house old fashioned and was not impressed. My date ordered a manhattan and also was dissappointed. The house recommended a good glass of wine and they swapped my old fashioned for a great dirty martini (although I've had better for the price). Overall, this place is one of the best in the city. Do not miss it if you are a foodie.

    It’s the fifth or sixth time we come. They have just changed the menu.It’s awesome that almost every time we come I see something new on the menu to try, but they keep the staples like the scallop and truffle and the amazing chocolate dessert. I would give 10 out of 10 stars in food presentation and flavors if I could. Veal tonnato is an excellent dish, it reminds me of real italian dishes tasted in Italy, and also the gnocchi cacio and pepe are amazing.the truffle on them it’s just a perfect combination!!!! Branzino is a must try. Great service as always.
