Located in the heart of Brandon, Della's After Dark has become the place to be for the finest in food, wine and jazz. Since 1989, Beverly DellaGrotta has been catering to the breakfast and lunch needs of the people of Brandon. Her deli, like all self owned small businesses, was built from the roots up, and Della's Delectables has since become a household name for the people of Brandon. In October 2001, Anthony and Beverly's son Alex opened a new leaf to the tale of Della's, transforming the daytime deli three nights a week into the elegant, affordable, fine dining venue that Brandon had long been waiting for. Being raised in a very food orientated family, an Italian heritage, his Grandmother's passion for cooking, and working in his mother's deli have all contributed to Alex DellaGrotta's own passion for cooking. Having cooked since he was in high school, and spending a year working as a sous chef in New Zealand for a major international hotel, Alex brings to Della's After Dark an outstanding eclectic knowledge of cuisine and renowned experience in fusion cooking.
