Rooftop Gardening at Quincy Steakhouse Alba The Dish I Miss

    • Society & Culture

Leo Keka escaped communist Albania in 1990, then made his way to Boston and worked his way up the food scene after starting as a dishwasher. He opened Alba in Quincy just after 9/11, when the country was reeling; the coronavirus brought another major hurdle right as he planned to open a second restaurant. But Keka and Alba managed to stay open for takeout during the pandemic, and now that dining at restaurants is back on again, his profits are coming back, along with his plans for that second restaurant.
