Buffalo Italian Heritage Itinerary

The Italian Heritage and Food Festival (Hertel Ave. between Colvin and Delaware Avenues) takes place every year in July. Set along a multi-block section of North Buffalo's Hertel Avenue, this annual celebration of Italian culture and cuisine features entertainment, games and rides for the kids as well.

For a taste of the ambiance of Buffalo's old Italian West Side, as well as distinctive salads, home made mozzarella, fresh produce, imported vinegars, olive oils and pastas, stop by Guercio's at 250 Grant Street.

In nearby Niagara Falls you'll find the Italian Heritage Museum and Cultural Center of Western New York at 1700 Pine Avenue.

Fans of Italian films will want to check out Cinema Sotto le Stelle, a free, open-air film festival held every Friday in July in the city's Elmwood Village.

Buffalo has a wealth of authentic family style Italian restaurants, foremost among them the Italian Village at 313 Grant Street; Santaserio's at 1329 Niagara Street and Chef's at 291 Seneca Street. More upscale Italian dining spots include San Marco at 2082 Kensington Avenue in Amherst and Lombardo's Ristorante at 1198 Hertel Ave.
