Trattoria Alba Restaurant Review:


Casual, yet bedecked with the trappings of a formal restaurant---white tablecloths, wall lamps---this neighborhood eatery is a decent solution for those with a hankering for Northern Italian cooking. The best dishes include the shrimp with spicy tomato sauce, the rigatoni al quattro formaggi (large tube pasta with smoked and fresh mozzarella, Parmesan, pecorino cheese, cream and a touch of tomato), or the veal scaloppine with prosciutto, eggplant and cheese. No surprises, no steep prices, and no heartburn. It has a large, sky-lit rear dining room and a bigger party room upstairs for those seeking a reasonable function space.
