Alpine Food Shop Westchester | Our Story

Seven Decades of the Same Good Sandwich

Alpine Food Shop has been feeding Chicago's western suburbs since 1955 — same meats, same homemade dressing, same family pride.

The Barbi family opened Alpine in 1955 as a neighborhood Italian deli — built on imported meats, quality cheeses, and the belief that a great sub needs no embellishment.

The Bonaccorsi Brothers Take Over

In 2000, the Bonaccorsi brothers purchased Alpine and kept everything intact — no shortcuts on the meats, no changes to the dressing. A family continuing what another family built.
The Sandwich Itself

The Sandwich Itself

Ham, salami, capicollo, and provolone on fresh bread — dressed with the homemade oil and vinegar regulars always mention first. Made to order, every time.
Made From Scratch, Still

Made From Scratch, Still

Alpine's scratch-made salads — pesto-parmesan shell pasta, vinaigrette primavera — come from actual recipes, not a bag. That hasn't changed since day one.

Two Locations, One Family

Now serving Elmwood Park and Westchester, the Bonaccorsi family still runs both shops. Three generations of customers keep coming back for the same sandwich they grew up eating.
