Family-owned & Italian at heart

For over 40 years, Battaglia's has been more than a deli — it's a gathering place built on quality, tradition, and warm hospitality.

Inside Battaglia's Italian deli

Where it began

A recipe passed down, a promise kept

Since 1996, Battaglia's of Dobbs Ferry has proudly served our community with the traditions of authentic Italian cooking and old-world hospitality. What began as a neighborhood deli has grown into a local favorite, known for fresh ingredients, homemade specialties, and exceptional catering.

Every sandwich is made to order, every tray is prepared with care, and every customer is treated like family. From imported Italian meats and cheeses to homemade salads, hot entrées, and freshly prepared catering platters, we take pride in offering the quality and flavor that keeps generations of customers coming back.

Whether you're stopping in for lunch, picking up dinner for the family, or planning a wedding, corporate event, or holiday gathering, our mission remains the same: to provide outstanding food, generous portions, and friendly service that make every meal memorable.

At Battaglia's, we're more than just a deli—we're a tradition in Dobbs Ferry, and we're honored to be part of your family's table for nearly 30 years.

Benvenuti. We look forward to serving you.
