   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.

   Excelente cocina, en un espacio pequeño y muy privado. Platicamos mucho con el chef que convive con los comensales y comparte mucho sobre la bella Italia. Definitivamente volvería muchas veces !

    This was our first time to the hotel. The bar and restaurant were amazing! The service, ambiance, food, and music were all simply wonderful. 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

    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.

    Wonderful Valentine’s dinner. Food was amazing as always. Very well presented . The taste of the ossobuco in the Barolo risotto is just melting in your mouth!! Perfectly cooked risotto. Great wine selection and really attentive service . The tanulla praline at the end of the meal was an highlight, soooo good that we had to buy a box to go :) An extraordinary Italian restaurant with great value, for Houston to have!!! We LOVE the Champagne bar.

    Wow. I took my wife her for Valentine's Day, and wow. We started with the soup and i had the vegetables and homemade burrata cheese. Then we both had pasta (i got squid ink with lobster) and she had a different one. Everything was great included the 2 different types of complimentary breads. Then the dessert really shined. We watched table after table delight in their desserts and then when it was our turn we were just as impressed. Definitely go to Alba! Chef's kiss!
