WEXFORD, PA — Black Bottle IT (BlackBottleIT.com), a trusted Managed Service Provider (MSP) and Security Consultancy headquartered in Wexford, PA, today announced the acquisition of Restart IT (callrestart.com), a well-respected IT services firm based in Monroeville, PA. This strategic move deepens Black Bottle IT’s presence across the greater Pittsburgh region and reinforces its commitment to delivering comprehensive, security-first technology support to local businesses. 

As part of the acquisition, Restart IT founder Bob DiGioia will join the Black Bottle IT leadership team as Vice President, ensuring a seamless transition for existing Restart IT clients while bringing deep regional relationships and hands-on IT expertise to an already-strong team. 

Leadership Perspective 

“When we look at what Bob and the Restart IT team have built — the trust, the relationships, the genuine care for their clients — it perfectly mirrors what we stand for at Black Bottle IT. This isn’t just about growth; it’s about bringing together two teams that share the same values and the same mission: keeping businesses protected, productive, and prepared for whatever comes next. Restart IT clients are gaining access to an expanded depth of security expertise and around-the-clock support, and our team is gaining talented IT professionals who truly know this community.”
