Keka said he’s kept his restaurants open for the past seven months without laying anyone off and said he hoped the vaccine will give him and other restaurant owners some stability. “Honestly, I can’t wait for every restaurant owner to be able to get staff their vaccine and go back to normal, whatever the normal life is anymore,” Keka said.A steakhouse in Quincy will soon have a sister that focuses on Italian cuisine. Zef Cicchetti & Raw Bar is slated to open at 1472 Hancock St., next door to its older sibling, Alba. An expansion of the popular Quincy steakhouse, the new Alba could open as soon as next weekend, Aug. The restaurant will draw its inspiration from Venice, putting communal dining, a raw bar, salumi, cocktails, and house-made pasta front-and-center, and it will feature cicchetti - small side dishes that are the hallmark of Venetian wine bars. My wife and I and our grown kids have been coming to Albas for years. 'I'm really happy with how it has come together,' owner Leo Keka said. The food is always excellent and the owner Leo is always friendly and remembers all of us. (See also: SRV, which recently opened in Boston's South End.) QUINCY (CBS) A surprise Christmas bonus for staff at Alba in Quincy and Alba on 53 in Hanover. Leo Keka owns both locations and like many restaurant owners, he’s had a tough year, with sales at Alba down 15 to 20 percent. ![]() The restaurant takes part of its name from these small plates. 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. 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. Most people who live on the South Shore are familiar with Leo Kekas Quincy restaurant, ALBA, and its rooftop deck. 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. Leo also owns nearby Zef Cicchetti & Raw. Leo Keka, the owner of Alba Prime Steak & Seafood in Quincy and Alba on 53 in Hanover, had already worried about making enough before the latest restrictions. 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. ![]()
