I used to like the meatball sub. The last 2 times, it gave me gastro issues. That was too bad as I could never have another. And i did like the taste.I will try to try another type of sub sometime.

Ingredients are always fresh. Subs are good.

Paid $2.50 to add bacon to a medium sub, no bacon was on the sandwich, but of course we didn't know that until getting home and the family was too hungry to take the time to head back to Dibellas. If you pay for something and then it's not provided to you, did they steal from you? Kind of feels like it. Otherwise the sandwiches were fine, but we'll probably stick with jersey Mike's instead.

Dramatically less meat and cheese than in past times, literally less than half. Asked for tricut and assured it would be, wasn't. 30 minute wait for one cold sandwich. Not sure what's going on, this used to be my favorite place.

I asked the gentleman that took my order if the sub rolls were soft he replied yes very soft ok I said ordered 2 subs and got home the rolls were far from soft and the sudden was sloppy. I Wil never return and I will tell everyone not to go there.

We came here Friday night at 8:45pm. Saw on the door they close at 9. We walked in. No one would look up or greet us. We just wanted something quick. We asked if they are open still and the guy mopping looked up and said no. I understand they want to get out of there. But it was obvious they didn’t want to take care of us.
The actual toppings seems to be getting lighter and lighter every time I order. Probably won't be ordering again. The staff seem please and efficient, however.

Di’Bella’s is an institution in Albany - and for good reason. Di’Bella’s began in Rochester in 1918. Their bread is baked in house, their ingredients are fresh, and their meat is of a higher quality. The atmosphere is dripping in their storied history and dining in feels like dining in a working museum. The downfall of Di’Bellas is the price point for their +7 inch subs and their artificially retro vibe.
The only meal deal they had at the time of my visit was a mini meal with a 5 inch sub, 20oz drink, and chips, cookie or pickle for $9.99. For the price point, it’s a valid deal. If you want any sub bigger than that, however, it’s somewhat costly. I ordered conservatively and had the 7 inch Di’Bella Cheesesteak with a large drink and a pickle. Cheesesteak: $9.79, drink $2.99 and a pickle is $1.49. All together my meal cost about $14.27. For a more casual, laid back restaurant without wait staff, $14.27 seemed excessive. I recognize they use fresher ingredients and bake their bread in-house but there are certainly cheaper options in Albany with similar qualities.
The other compliant I have is the interior of the restaurant which was the artificial retro vibe of the tables and benches. The tables and benches need a serious upgrade. It took away from the down-home vibe they were hoping to achieve with Di’Bella’s story written on the walls. With the aggressive 2010s harsh coloring, bright lighting, and artificial retro tables and benches it seems as though the restaurant can’t decide which era or genre it is hoping to emulate.
Having said all of that, Di’Bella’s flavor is worth the visit alone. They take care of every quality of the sandwich and it shows. If you like high quality subs and exploring time honored restaurants, this restaurant is for you.

Old school feel in the restaurant area. Easy to order at the counter. Several choices of bread were fresh and soft. Good amount of meat. My only comment is that all the toppings went in first so only one side of the sub is seasoned while the other side is dry. Adding the meats first then the toppings would be an easy fix and make this a 5 star experience.

Every time I order for take out, with extra cheese, it is ignored and I still paid for it. They must be trained to ignore extra cheese. The total amount of cheese on the sandwich is a single thin layer. That is how they roll.
