DeFlippo's, built in 1870, is one of Lockport's oldest landmarks. It was originally owned by carriage makers Brown & Bronson. Dominick & Barbara DeFlippo purchased this property in 1941 to relocate a thriving ice business.

In 1946 Dominick, inspired by his wife's delicious sauce, began the restaurant business. With the help and support of the entire family a very successful restaurant emerged. For the next 31 years, dining out for great Italian food has meant DeFlippo's.

Continuing the family tradition since 1977 are Jerry & Joan DeFlippo. With hard work and vision they have expanded the business to include a larger kitchen, more dining room seating, take-out & catering services as well as a beautiful new Bed & Breakfast. Today, Jerry can be found in the kitchen still following his Mom's recipes, while Joan welcomes you into the dining room with a smile.

Jerry & Joan's son, Dominick, a 1989 graduate of the Culinary Institute of America has added many innovative touches to the menu. He continually strives to create new and exciting dishes while maintaining the quality that DeFlippo's is known for.

Taking over as third generation DeFlippo family owner in 2006, Dominick continues to offer excellent food and service in the traditional DeFlippo family atmosphere.

Our family has now enjoyed over 65 years of service in our community. Thank you to all our customers for their support during these years.

We look forward to serving you!

Your Hosts,
Dominick DeFlippo
Jerry & Joan DeFlippo
