The nonprofit Italian Club of Dallas has become a club without a home after losing its location in Addison. The organization, which describes its role as promoting and preserving Italian culture and traditions, moved out of the space it occupied since 2006, following a dispute with the landlord that it cannot discuss, but which surely must have something to do with rent.

President Kenny Venuso says that the club may be down but it is not out. "The club is still active — the facility is closed," he says. "I'm not going to go into details, but the bottom line is that we made a decision to move out." The Italian Club is a bit like a secret. It's been around almost 40 years, hosting under-publicized events such as the Feast of the Seven Fishes, an Italian-American tradition for New Year's Eve, and a weekly open-house meal known mostly to older foodies, with dishes such as pork chops and polenta crostini.
