I was and still am a huge fan of subway and thought there'd be nothing like it. Then my girlfriend introduced me to DiBella's and they are just second to None. Unbelievable in taste and qualilty. Not just the best Sub place in Rochester, but probably of all in NY. Cant wait to go there again.

One of my all time favorite places when I am craving a sub. There everything roll is the best. Subs are stingy and too small for the price and get you still eat healthy options. Lots of choices. The best sub place in Rochester !

I eat at DiBella's rather frequently, especially in the locations in downtown or in Webster. I ate at the Webster location a couple of weeks ago and had a tuna sub, which is a little different from my regular fare. The sub was pretty good...above average but not a 5. I wish that they carried horseradish for their roast beef... More

We visit Rochester frequently from Canada and we love DiBellas. Although it is a chain, it has a mom and pop shop feeling and that suits us. Enormous portions with fresh ingredients....multiple napkins needed.

My husband and I are relocating to Rochester, where he's been working for several months now. Throughout that time, co-workers and business associates told him about DiBella's. On a visit, we decided to finally check it out. It lived up to the hype. The subs were yummy and the soups (tomato-basil and potato) were great. Granted, they swapped our breads,... More

I stopped in for a sub today. It wasn't real busy and I had a short wait. My sub was to messy to eat. I asked for a new one and was promptly served a new one. It was awesome!

Had a very good experience at this restaurant twice while I visited there. There was quite a selection, but it lacked a soda fountain, just bottles.
