American Italian Heritage Society

My grandmother was one of the original members of the American Italian Heritage Society and I have been a member at various times. Regardless of your Italian Heritage or membership, they offer a spaghetti dinner a couple times of year, usually in the spring and the fall. To go containers welcome, too. That's in addition to the longtime annual Festa Italiana held annually the first weekend of September which features not only the great food, but entertainment for the entire family. Homemade Italian sausage sale is also held a couple times a year. I was so glad when the Society was able to build Il Palazzo several years ago to have a dedicated modern space to hold these events since they outgrew their building on 14th Street a long time ago. The beautiful building can also be rented for wedding receptions and such. Many other Italian heritage events held throughout the year. If interested, follow their Facebook page or check their website.
