About The Company
DiBella’s began in 1918 as a corner grocery store located in Rochester, NY. The small family-run business operated successfully for many years, focusing on providing quality and value consistently. Gradually, DiBella’s evolved into an Italian import store and deli, specializing in serving its customers high quality cold cuts, cheeses and olives. In the last decade, we have opened 45 more DiBella’s locations in Rochester, Buffalo, Syracuse, Ithaca and Albany, NY; Milford, CT Pittsburgh, PA; Ann Arbor, Troy and Auburn Hills, MI; as well as Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati, and Dayton, OH.As our business expands, we continue to offer old-fashioned quality and value, just as the DiBella’s did back in 1918. Our business has become what we are today, because each one of our managers takes pride and ownership in DiBella’s. Our success is reflected in the cleanliness of our restaurants; we provide a unique casual atmosphere, reminiscent of a 1940’s NY style corner sandwich shop. We deliver fast and friendly service, always providing a quality product. As we grow, we will continue this DiBella’s tradition: to provide a good old-fashioned experience, based on a fresh, quality product, a friendly face to serve you and a value for your dollar. Everything that we are and do reflects our old-fashioned values. These qualities are what make the difference between an ordinary sub and a DiBella’s sub.
