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.

Wednesday night I stopped in at the Italian Village restaurant & bar. They have 2 locations: the original is on the West Side on Grant Street in Buffalo, NY; and the one we visited, located on Wehrle near Union in Williamsville. Our first problem is always the size of the menu. There are too many great choices. It's like a book. The second major problem is the size of the portions. If you're not careful, you won't have room for dessert. And if you order an appetizer llike the bruschetta bread, you'll be full before the main course even gets to the table. Pictured here is the pork tenderloin, which is - tender, juicy and flavorful. Click on the photo to see the other entree in the photo album, Shrimp Provenano - shrimp & pasta in a delicious, rich & creamy white sauce.
