Named after the picturesque town that is perched high on a cliff overlooking the Adriatic Sea, Albona specializes in Istrian cuisine borrowing influences from Italy, Austria, Hungary, Greece, and other parts of Central Europe. Set in a discreet building, the atmosphere inside feels old-fashioned yet charming with a scattering of closely-spaced tables, low lighting, and smiling servers. A beloved spot for date nights, watch couples devour such interesting and flavorful dishes as capuzi garbi con prosuto e luganega (braised sauerkraut fragrant with onions, apples, and prosciutto); strudel con pasta fatta in casa (fresh pasta filled with prosciutto, cheese and baked in a casserole with breadcrumbs and béchamel); or braised veal shank with soft polenta.
