“Stepping into Subway, I was instantly drawn to the display of chocolate chip cookies, glistening with promise. The friendly staff greeted me with warm smiles and were eager to help me choose the perfect treat. As I took my first bite, the cookie's soft, chewy texture melted in my mouth, releasing a cascade of rich, velvety chocolate chips. Each morsel was a perfect blend of sweetness and indulgence, making it impossible to stop at just one. Subway's chocolate chip cookies are the epitome of cookie perfection, and they turned a simple visit into a memorable experience. Highly recommend grabbing a few on your next trip!" The best service I’ve received in a long time“

“Great experience with this company and location! I booked a lunch very last minute (same day as the order) Not only did they make a great meal for the office but they delivered it for me when I got stuck in a procedure in a different town. Special shout out to the manager for helping me and to the employee who delievered the food to the office. I would recommend to anyone who is in need of catering.“

“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.“

“Vegetarian options: I believe they will make any Sub you want

Kid-friendliness: The people are family friendly,they have family of their own. Parking is always been available when I've been there out in front. It's friendly place and a family friendly place. very good Subs.“

“I went In John my subway artist was fast and patient it looked like he was training everywhere is short staffed as they were training a new employee he managed to make my meal and it’s good to see a family oriented place we all need some patience when ordering food most places are short staffed and we just need to have some more patience these guys work hard they feed us when everything else is closed thanks guys .“
