Once a month, we visit a wonderful restaurant, Italian Village, owned by John & Fifa Balconi. Up until recently, there were 2 locations: the original Grant Street restaurant, and the newer suburban location at Wehrle & Union. While this location of the Italian Village Restaurant & Bar on Wehrle & Union remains open for business, we are said to learn that the Italian Village Restaurant on Grant Street has closed. Their son (and our friend John (jr)) cooks & manages several days a week at the Wehrle restaurant, so we often visit both locations.

The traditions & recipes that made the original Italian Village Restaurant a favorite destination for so many years lives on here at the Italian Village Restaurant & Bar on Wehrle Drive in Williamsville, as evidenced by the dining room full of loyal customers. Please be sure to show your support for John & Fifa at the Italian Village Restaurant in Williamsville. You won't be disappointed!
