Whether you can trace your Italian roots back to a small town in Sicily, or you just appreciate a good pasta dinner, there’s a place in WNY that’ll transport you to Italy— just by heading to the intersection of Delaware and Hertel. Open Wednesdays through Saturdays, the Centro Culturale Italiano di Buffalo, or Buffalo’s Italian Cultural Center, is the hub for all things Italian.
First, we have to tell you about the hidden gem of a café, nestled in the only brick-and-mortar cultural center in the city. Serving authentic Italian coffee, the Curcio Café is located inside the library-turned-Centro, surrounded by couches and tables for you to hang out or work at.
