Welcome To J.DeFranco & Daughters Catering

The DeFranco business started in 1926 by Philip and Teodora DeFranco. At that time the business was an Italian grocery store and butcher shop.

"A Taste of Tradition"

The DeFranco business started in 1926 by Philip and Teodora DeFranco. At that time the business was an Italian grocery store and butcher shop. After their retirement in 1976 they gave the business to their son Martin DeFranco who moved the shop from Roseto to West Bangor Road, Bangor, PA where the business is today. In 1989, Joseph took over the family business and continues to compliment the fine quality of meat which his family once sold. Today Joe has made the company grow into a seven day a week business with catering services available anytime.

We offer butler service, buffet style, country style service and we also will simply deliver your selections and set up your event. All of our orders are custom and will be served or delivered anyway our customers prefer. We have catered events as small as a romantic dinner for two and as large as weddings with as many as 250 guests and more. No occasion is too big or too small.

I had a deli sandwich, and I will non exaggeratively say that this was the best sandwich I’ve ever had 😭 this far beyond exceeded my expectations, very hefty, currently expecting and was craving just any deli sandwich, but came out with my taste buds on cloud 9. I would add a photo but it’s all in my belly lol

Butcher Shop:  These Days in Roseto

 Ciao Amici,

Well I’ve been out walking
I don’t do that much talking these days
These days I miss the Sunday Macaroni Dinners with the family

These days I seem to think a lot about
About the things that I do not see anymore like the widow in black who honors her husband or the sons who were named for their grandfathers

It’s so hard not to see all the small businesses in Roseto these days
These days every one goes to the big box stores
Now if I seem to be afraid that the neighbors do not live the life in the Old Roseto way Well it’s just that I’ve been living that way so long
Well they will keep on moving their are no jobs these days but
Things are bound to be improving these days
These days very few make wine and garden

These days everyone has no time.

Don’t confront me that there are no Catholic schools, tailors, shoemakers, candy makers, barbers, hotels, pharmacies, Marconi Club and blouse mills
For I have not forgotten them



Grazie, Joe
