Albi’s Taverna is a rustic Italian eatery serving food from the menu of sister restaurant Albi’s Table in Cronulla. The founder and head chef Albi Cuni has created some delicious dishes that combine traditional Northern Italian dishes with some modern twists. The menu includes classic options like risotto and meatballs as well as more adventurous dishes like sashimi.
The restaurant is the brainchild of Albi Cuni, who left school at the age of 13 to enrol in the best hospitality schools in Italy. It was there that he learned the basics of Italian and French cooking and after touring Europe at the age of 16 and working with Michelin Starred chefs, he created his own concept for a restaurant.
Albi’s Taverna is available for small groups as well as large parties and weddings of up to 220 people.
