Best meal I can remember. We had a full Italian coursed meal. Every course was delicious. The staff is professional yet not stuffy. Great wine selection. Great cocktail selection. I’d give more stars if I could!

This was the best meal I have eaten in PA. I had a similar meal at a Michelin restaurant in Paris and I actually liked this version of pork belly then the traditional meal I had there. When a meal brings happy tears of joy and memories of youth and good times, you know it is something special.

5 course tasting menu with wine pairing was superb. We also had (Didn’t include pictures) bruschetta with flava beans, runny egg, and pancetta, 32oz ribeye steak (divided evenly), and arugula salad. Wine pairings were very appropriate.

Always a favorite in Malvern!!! Service is excellent and they have a small but mighty menu with primarily Italian offerings. On Monday you can also pay a corkage fee and bring your own wine (champagne in our case).

A true gem in Malvern. Been going since 2014, every meal we’ve had in house and take out is exquisite. Quality is second to none. Drinks are excellent too. Faves are Berkshire pork, pumpkin raviolis, whipped ricotta, and budino. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Really good! Wish there was another restaurant like it – but no one else has so many traceable to the farm plates as Alba. It is a shame with so many great farms more restaurants don’t do good farm to table

Very nice atmosphere. Server was a pleasure. No doubt the dishes are crafted with fresh ingredients, but at these prices I expected to say wow at least once. Profit margins are a bit in your face if I’m being completely honest. $27 chicken parm that doesn’t include a pasta side is egregious; especially when the execution is under seasoned. The chicken and mortadella filling in the agnolotti was indiscernible from simple cheese filling. Bruschetta was 2 pieces and overwhelmed by the taste of the charred edges.
