On Rhode Island Street in Buffalo, you will find Dalfonso's Italian Imports, a shop specializing in Italian products. Owner and operator Jeffrey Dalfonso said he's excited to bring this to the Five Points neighborhood. Dalfonso said this is not necessarily a sit-down restaurant, but there will be tables inside and outside in the shop's garden space to enjoy an espresso or sandwich.
"We'll also have specially made products from our family recipes for grab-and-go. Coffee, espresso, cookies — everything you could ever want that's Italian," he said. When you walk in there will be a counter for coffee and a deli where Dalfonso said two sandwiches will be offered each week. The other side of the shop will be for retail like authentic olive oil, vinegars and tomatoes.
