I ate at Alba for a Slow Food event and I have to say the experience was amazing. The fresh local produce was used in every plate--everything was delectable. Some of the dishes that were particularly memorable were the slowly prepared duck confit atop a creamy, perfectly cooked pea risotto and the strawberry crostada with a dallop of minty fresh whipped cream. The ambiance is warm and slightly rustic and the wait staff and owner are very welcoming. It is evident that the husband and wife team owners and their employees take pride in everything that they serve. From my experience they proved that Alba is a restaurant well worth frequenting...
Pros: Local, mostly organic food prepared deliciously with a dedicated staff
Cons: kind of a hike by car from Philly
