Deflippo’s, built in 1870, is one of Lockport, New York's oldest landmarks. It was originally owned by carriage makers Brown & Bronson. Dominick & Barbara DeFlippo purchased this property in 1941 to relocate a thriving WNY 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 and Joan DeFlippo. With hard work and vision they have expanded the Lockport, New York business to include a larger kitchen, more dining room seating, take-out and catering services as well as a beautiful new Bed & Breakfast. Today, Jerry can be found in the kitchen still following his Mother’s recipes, while Joan welcomes you into the dining room with a smile.

Jerry and 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. Dominick has also been busy updating the wine selection to include many fine wines to enjoy with your meals.

Dominick’s wife Nancy is a 1990 graduate of Johnson & Wales University in Pastry Arts. She has added a dessert menu consisting of traditional Italian favorites as well as her own delicious creations. Taking over as third generation husband and wife owners in 2006, Dominick and Nancy continue to offer excellent food and service in the traditional DeFlippo family atmosphere.
