Villabate Alba

For tonights blog post I thought I’d write about a popular multi generational Bensonhurst institution.  Located on the corner of 18th Avenue and 70th Street, this place stands out as an oasis in an ocean of change in the ever changing area of Bensonhurst Brooklyn.  An old school Italian Caffe and bakery rolled into one where you can go inside and hear the remnants of the Italian immigration speaking in their native dialects that represent various regions of southern Italy and Sicily.  Holiday time always has a line wrapped around the block as people come from as far away as New Jersey to order a treat to impress the suburban families.  Hopefully Villabate remains a Bensonhurst pillar for years to come.
