Family, food, and fun are at the heart of Gus Deraco’s Italian Sandwiches in Lebanon, PA. The restaurant at 714 Cumberland St. is owned by Traci Deraco Ginnona and her husband Ron Ginnona. It was founded in 1978 by Traci’s parents Gus and Maxine Deraco. Traci grew up in the business and took it over last year with a soft opening in late July. “I wanted to keep my parents’ legacy alive,” she said. 

Known for its hoagys, the restaurant is open for breakfast and lunch/dinner. Breakfast items include traditional breakfast fare as well as French toast made with Italian bread and breakfast hoagys. Lunch/dinner menu items include a variety of hoagys and cold sandwiches along with house-made burgers, steaks and other hot sandwiches, salads, homemade soup and chili, and a spaghetti dinner.
