Potential Zef Cicchetti dishes are already in the works, and Andersen has tested some at Alba, including a pig’s head ragu pasta with broccoli rabe, a melon gazpacho, and an oxtail cannelloni.

While continuing Alba’s 15-year tradition of steak, seafood, and Mediterranean cuisine, Andersen will also develop the menu for Zef, drawing on his experiences from living in Venice. To prepare for the opening of Zef Cicchetti, Alba brought on Keith Andersen - formerly of Legal Harborside, Troquet, Craigie on Main, and Franklin Southie - to serve as executive chef. The 'Zef' part comes from Alba’s owner, Leo Keka, who named the restaurant after his father, Jozef, who passed away last year in Albania.
