Festa Italiana!
Join us for the 42nd annual Undo's Upper Ohio Valley Italian Festival at Wheeling’s beautiful Heritage Port! This year's festival focuses on food, fun, & family. Beside Italian foods of homemade sausage & meatballs, wood- fired pizza and many more Italian dishes there will also be foods from other cultures. Entertainment will be ongoing throughout the festival on the Main Stage and the Little Italy Stage. Also, inflatables and games for the kids are BACK!!!
This year, our kickoff dinner will be in honor of our Italian-American of the Year, Beau Catalano. The event will be held on Wednesday, July 23, at 6:00pm (doors open at 5:30pm) at Undo's West in St. Clairsville.
The mission of our Festival is to provide scholarships to local area students and to continue and share our Italian culture. This year we provided $18,000 in scholarships. Recipients were two students from each of the six counties represented by the board: Belmont & Jefferson in Ohio, and Brooke, Hancock, Marshall, and Ohio in West Virginia.
What’s FUN THIS YEAR?
Inflatables, a mobile arcade, pasta-making and the Italian Sunday dinner!
The place to eat in the Ohio Valley since 1953!
In 1953, Undo and Jenny Sparachane purchased the Flamingo Club in Benwood, West Virginia, and in 1965, they added the Benwood Stag Bar to their list of entrepreneurial undertakings. Together, these two locations formed Undo’s Famiglia Restaurant, a family-owned restaurant business that has specialized in Italian and American cuisine for over 50 years. Undo’s has extended to three full-service restaurants located in Benwood and Weirton, West Virginia and St. Clairsville, Ohio.
