Dibella's Italian Market - Rochester

Always delicious and pretty fast. Super pleasant service. No ruffles, only taste

This place use to be the pinnacle of deli places, but COVID took its toll on them. No longer can you order and watch your hoagie get made as you select different items from behind the glass. Now you have to select your choices off a chart/sheet. The deli case is all boarded up. It takes away from the atmosphere. Don't get me wrong, the sandwiches are still good but it's no fun to go there anymore. Best bet is order online. There is no difference except the wait time.

My daughter and I popped into DiBella's recently, per her suggestion. Don't get me wrong. I LOVE DiBella's. Their subs are the best I've ever eaten. Mondays are my grocery shopping day, and since she was with me, I decided to let her choose somewhere for lunch. I was thrilled she chose DiBella's. My absolute favorite thing to get is their lobster bisque. Holy moly. It is the best I've ever eaten. That bisque with a side of garlic toast is so yummy, especially in the cold winters here in Rochester, NY. I also like to get their Boss panini from time-to-time. I was sad to see that the option for a sandwich and soup combo had been taken off the menu, but things change, I guess. On this particular visit though, I got The Old-fashioned. It was a warm November day, and soup didn't feel right. Only a cold sub would do. The meats are turkey, ham, and genoa salami. I chose sesame bread, with provolone cheese, and added lettuce, red onion, mayo, mustard, and oil. I paired that sandwich with a bag of baked lays and unsweetened tea. Yep. It hit the spot. So stinking good. And this is my favorite DiBella's in Rochester. I've been to others, but they lack a certain atmosphere about them. Food is the same, but ambience is not. Y'all come on out for some delicious food. And end your meal with one of Grandma's cookies. Wowzer. You will not regret it.

Good sub. We shared a large Italian Assorted and couldn’t finish it. Staff is pleasant and helpful. I’m interested to try one of their hot subs next time I’m in Rochester. Old time music at a good volume made it a nice place to eat as well.

Absolutely fantastic! I highly recommend the Godfather with double meat—it's my favorite. Best sub I've ever had, Indiana's gem! Just filling this box to reach 140 characters.
