Alba Restaurant was born in August 2019 to get local people of Sydney’s Inner West to taste and discover the genuine home-cooking cuisine from Salento, a beautiful province in the South of Puglia, Italy. Our award-winning restaurant relies on our family's knowledge of Salentinian cuisine and our highly-acclaimed hospitality expertise. Using traditional recipe books dating to the early 19th century

and the founder’s grandmother’s handwritten recipe books, our restaurant features typical dishes you won’t find anywhere else outside of Salento. We’re talking about the delicious deep-fried dough balls “Pittule”, the famous Leccese street food “Rustico Leccese”, the melting-in-your-mouth “Eggplant Parmigiana”, an incredible selection of fresh, homemade pasta and luscious desserts! Alba has a warm atmosphere, welcoming staff, great weekly specials like ALL-YOU-CAN-EAT on Mondays, Meal Deal with live music on Tuesday evenings and a special price for weekend lunches. The perfect place for your next date or big gathering. Find us in the heart of Newtown, Sydney, to experience an everlasting tradition of love, food and passion.

In Lazio, food is more than nourishment. It is history, family, and tradition — passed down through generations and shaped by the land, the seasons and the people who call it home.

From the bustling streets of the capital to the quiet countryside beyond, Lazio has a food culture that is deeply rooted in simplicity, generosity and the art of making something extraordinary from very little.

This September, we’re bringing a taste of those traditions to Sydney with a menu inspired by one of Italy’s most iconic regions.

Come hungry. Rome is waiting. ❤️

Nobody photographs Basilicata.
No trulli, no influencers, no coastline doing numbers on a feed. It's the deep South people drive past on the way to somewhere else. Mountains, shepherds, red peppers drying in the sun. Which is exactly why the food is still one of the most authentic in Italy.

All July at Alba: patate raganate, spaghetti lucani, pollo alla potentina, nocciolaccio. Four dishes, one month, in Newtown.

Puglia is the heel of Italy. Olive groves a thousand years old, a coastline that doesn’t end, and food born of farmers, shepherds and fishermen who never had much and made the best of everything.

All June, our kitchen is cooking through it.

Panzerottini fried until pillowy, stuffed with melting mozzarella. Orecchiette with cime di rapa, anchovy, and sausage braised in Primitivo. Bombette di Martina Franca, pork rolled around pecorino, Capocollo and caciocavallo. Mustazzoli al cioccolato finished with vincotto.

Four dishes. One sun soaked region. All June at 304 King St, Newtown.

Don’t miss it!

Culurgiones. 🌾

Sardinian dumplings, hand-pleated like little ears of wheat, filled with potato, pecorino, and fresh mint. Served on tomato sugo with a snow of grated cheese.
Every pleat is closed by hand the way Sardinian grandmothers have been doing it for generations.

It's slow work. It's the only way.

A pasta special on our May menu. Until it's gone.

For a long time, All You Can Eat has been a fixture at Alba.

Many of you discovered us through it, and we'll always be grateful for that.

But Alba is growing, and we feel it's time to tell our story in a different way. So this May will be the final month of All You Can Eat — your last chance to enjoy it the way you've always loved it.

From June, we're launching a new format. One that's closer to who we really are: a Southern Italian table, made of generous dishes, family recipes, and the warmth of Salento. We'll keep what matters most to us making Alba accessible but we'll finally be able to show you Alba for what it truly is.

We think you're going to love it even more.

Before we say goodbye, you still have two more chances to enjoy All You Can Eat with us — Monday 18 and Monday 25 May.

Fregola con le vongole. 🌊

Toasted Sardinian semolina pearls, fresh clams, garlic, white wine, a whisper of chilli, and the sea.

This is a dish that doesn't need to shout. It just needs to be eaten slowly, with someone you love, and a glass of wine.

Our pasta special for May.
Available all month, until it's gone.

📍 Alba, 304-308 King Street Newtown

If it's your first time at Alba, here's exactly what to order.

No guessing. No menu anxiety. Just the dishes we'd put in front of anyone walking through our door for the first time.

Start with the Pittule — fried dough pillows from Lecce, the kind you don't find anywhere else in Sydney. Crispy outside, cloud-soft inside. They disappear fast.

Then the Parmigiana di Melanzane. Not a side dish. Not an afterthought. A full, slow-cooked expression of Southern Italian cooking — layered, rich, and made the way it's done at home in Salento.

For your main: Lamb Ragù. Deep flavour, long-cooked, the kind of dish that makes you forget everything else on the table.

To finish: Tiramisù. Classic. No twists. Just done properly.

Four dishes. One table. One evening you'll want to repeat.
