The Belfast opening will be the first by Di Maggio's outside Scotland.
The company, which employs more than 480 people and also plans to expand in its home city of Glasgow, more than trebled its pre-tax profits to about £1.4 million in the year to April 2012, from £419,060 in the prior 12 months. This increase was achieved on the back of a £2.6m increase in turnover to £21.27m.
