The Italian American Community Center — Attraction in City of Albany

Probably the nicest buffet I've ever been to. They only host this buffet once a week every Monday night for 3 hours. The space, which looks like a fancy banquet area, was filled with nicely set tables in a finely lit area. The staff were friendly and our waiter was very attentive and professional. I enjoyed the selections they had spread out and it was some of the tastiest Italian food I've had. They had a pasta station there that I found interesting where someone actively cooked a small pasta dish for you with your choice of pasta and sauces. They had a large, beautiful dessert table filled with a wide array of desserts that I and others at my table enjoyed sampling. Unfortunately a lot of the desserts I found too loaded up on sugar so I couldn't finish most of them, but the taste was satisfying. I enjoyed the experience and wouldn't mind going again sometime in the future. If you enjoy Italian food and have a major sweet tooth then I definitely recommend this company's Monday...

I once gave this location five stars. I stayed with it after COVID and the caterer change. I was going to resume the annual event I held for college graduates and as a member reserved the private room in 2022. Imagine my surprise when with about a week to go , I get a call saying that my reservation was canceled. No reason given, no accomdation offered, just canceled, poof.

I stayed up until 3:00 am the following morning to decide on three possible sites. When I secured a substitute site, I called the IACC to cancel my membership. The person I dealt with in the membership office was surprised to hear what happened. She might have gotten an explation from the caterer, but none was given to me.

I made the right choice to cancel...

All things Italiano', what more needs to be said. This place is incredibly welcoming and superb food that is nothing short of remarkable. There's a pool which is great for all ages. The buffet is satisfying to those with a larger appetite. Just be careful you could easily walk out of there with a large case of ogeda'. (Heart-burn)...lol That is common In sure because after dinner the desserts on the buffet are too tempting to walk away w/out. This place is simply...
