· Italian restaurant, Brunch restaurant, Event venue
· Knightsbridge
Glam Italian spot opposite Harrods with striking interiors, showpiece desserts, and polished service; food is generally strong though pricey and inconsistent for some, and policies plus noise/pricing divide opinions.
Our take
ALBA London delivers a celebratory dining experience anchored by exceptional setting appeal—the Harrods view and polished interiors create genuine destination appeal—and strong food quality highlighted by standout pastas, raw seafood, and showpiece desserts. However, quality variation across dishes (overcooked fish, inconsistent pizza) and moderate review authenticity signals prevent a higher grade, positioning it as a solid neighborhood favorite rather than a premier fine dining benchmark in Knightsbridge.
One caveat: Pricing and wine list can feel excessive to some; budget accordingly
