Recently our team revisited one of our favorite restaurant locations near our Farmington New York campus to install a decorative custom-made reclaimed Douglas fir truss.
This flagship Dibella’s Italian Market location is in the nearby town of Henrietta and features extensive woodwork from our fine woodworking division NEWwoodworks, who have over the course of several years crafted a series of heavy timber craftsmen style tables, butcher block counters, and booth tabletops featuring reclaimed Heart Pine provided by our sister company Pioneer Millworks, as well as built in shelving & paneling among other features.
This past year we retuned once again to the location to raise an expansive fully custom 44-foot-long freestanding parallel-cord truss that artfully divides the expansive dining space. The choice to use reclaimed 12x12 Douglas fir timbers with Heart Pine accents speaks to the idea of old-world craft which Debella’s embodies.
“It was a challenge for the team getting the timbers into the space to raise,” said Dave Cratty from our engineering team. “Getting timbers of that size into an existing structure/space through the front door without disturbing any of the built-in tables and partitions the restaurant already had in place was tricky.”
DiBella’s commitment to time honored tradition and steadfast consistent quality in the food they serve is reflected in the design of their sub shops. The visual experience of their restaurants is based around the core concept of a hand-crafted market deli straight out of the 1920’s and 30’s, and this flagship location in Henrietta is where DiBella’s does much of its research and development, constantly innovating, improving, and refining what they do.
Founded in 1918 and still family owned & operated spanning over 40 locations in five states, DiBella’s has a longstanding relationship with New Energy Works, NEWwoodworks, and Pioneer Millworks because of our shared belief in the quality and value of good old fashioned American craft.
