PENFIELD, N.Y. (WROC) - There’s a new café up and running in Penfield. Anthony Devola and his wife opened Avola Café last week at the corner of Browncroft Boulevard and Blossom Road. The couple turned the vacant 3,500 sq. ft. space into an inviting atmosphere. The name and menu draw from Devola's Sicilian roots.
