BUFFALO, N.Y. — One of the city's most iconic restaurants is expanding. Ristorante Lombardo on Sunday held a groundbreaking on Hertel Avenue.
The family-owned restaurant has been around since 1975, and it's currently under its third generation of ownership. They say this expansion is a $750,000 investment.
"We're starting our 47th year in business, proudly to say still on Hertel Avenue," restaurant owner Tom Lombardo said. "With this latest expansion, we're making a commitment that were going to be on Hertel Avenue for quite a while."
The new expansion includes a three-season dining area, so people have the opportunity to eat outside. They say it will help refresh the restaurant and add to the development of Hertel Avenue.
