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 Italy we have a running joke: Molise doesn’t exist.
Too small. Too quiet. Too easy to forget on the map.
Well… this November we’re proving it definitely does.

And it tastes pretty good too.

We’re heading to one of Italy’s most overlooked regions, somewhere between the mountains and the Adriatic, with four new specials:
- Calcione: Flaky pastry filled with ricotta and capocollo.
- Spaghetti alla Chitarra: Walnut pesto and pecorino. Simple and dangerously easy to finish.
- Baccalà alla Termolese: Salt cod with olives, onion, sundried tomatoes and chilli, taking us all the way to the coast of Termoli.
- Torta di Mele, Miele e Noci: Apple, honey and walnut cake.

So yes, Molise exists.

And for November, you’ll find it in Newtown.

Come hungry. We’ll take you there.

Our new menu starts tomorrow in Newtown.

For months our kitchen has been tasting, changing and tasting again. Some dishes come from places we love, some from recipes we grew up with.

Here are four we can’t wait for you to try: the cuoppo, our new antipasto, the fusilli and the cotoletta.

Can you guess what’s on top of the fusilli? Tell us in the comments.

The rest of the story you’ll hear at the table. Book at the link in bio.

October at Alba takes us to Abruzzo.
A region that gives you two completely different sides of Italy in one place: mountains, lamb and food cooked over fire. Then the Adriatic, anchovies, prawns and seafood.
So this month, we’re bringing a little of both to Newtown.
- Bruschetta with marinated anchovies.
- Gemelli with prawns and artichokes.
- Arrosticini straight from the grill.
- And Parrozzo with vanilla gelato.

Four dishes, one region, and another little corner of Italy for us to show you.

Abruzzo starts today.

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.
