Each plate speaks with purpose, every garnish tells a story, and the service is marked by a certain stillness — one that invites guests to slow down, savor, and reflect.
A Dish Worthy of the Eternal City
As Casa Alba continues to evolve, so does its menu. Its latest creation is a dish as bold and comforting as it is reverent: short rigatoni with pork sausage. A nod to Roman trattoria classics, the pasta balances rustic warmth with modern finesse — showcasing slow-cooked sausage, house-made rigatoni, and a sauce that clings with intention.
