Alba Italia Grill Brings Classic Italian Dining to Hillsdale

Hillsdale’s dining scene has welcomed a fresh culinary destination with the opening of Alba Italia Grill, taking over the space formerly occupied by Osso Buco at 343 Broadway. The new Italian restaurant promises a combination of traditional recipes, high-quality ingredients, and a warm, family-oriented atmosphere that reflects the heart of Italy.

Alba Italia Grill is the first restaurant venture for owner Agim Kortoci, who brings nearly three decades of hospitality experience to the project. Kortoci describes opening the restaurant as “a dream come true and a natural next step” in a career dedicated to exceptional service and fine dining. The restaurant is family-owned and operated, emphasizing personal attention, genuine hospitality, and an unwavering commitment to quality in every aspect of the dining experience.

The menu at Alba Italia Grill highlights authentic Italian flavors and classic dishes crafted from fresh, locally sourced ingredients. Diners can enjoy a variety of favorites, including chicken parmigiana, veal osso buco, stuffed rigatoni, pork chop arrabiata, and a seafood medley of shrimp and scallops over linguini. The restaurant also offers a thoughtfully curated wine list and an array of house cocktails designed to complement the rich flavors of the menu, providing a complete Italian dining experience from appetizer to dessert.

The restaurant’s design blends comfort and elegance, accommodating approximately 80 guests with 19 tables, an 8-seat bar, and seasonal outdoor seating that allows diners to enjoy meals al fresco when weather permits. The inviting interior is designed to foster a sense of community and warmth, making it ideal for family dinners, date nights, or special occasions.

Alba Italia Grill is open seven days a week, providing both lunch and dinner options and encouraging reservations for evenings and weekends when demand is high. With its focus on timeless Italian recipes, attentive service, and a welcoming atmosphere, the restaurant is quickly becoming a must-visit for Hillsdale residents and visitors alike.
