Gourmet Italian market: cheeses, meats, wines & specialty foods
"Philly’s iconic gourmet Italian grocery store sells wine by the bottle at its Rittenhouse and Franklin Market locations and at the Di Bruno Bros. Bottle Shop in the Italian Market on South Ninth Street. The large selection of international wines puts an expected emphasis on Italian wine, but the team also collaborates with regional producers for its own DB & Friends Wine Series. Add tons of beer, cider, fine cheese, and other provisions and you’ve got any hosting occasion covered." - Carolyn Desalu, Noelle Allen
"For 80 years, Di Bruno Bros. has been serving up cheese, olives, cured meats, antipasti, and other Italian goods to hungry shoppers in the heart of Philly’s historic Italian Market. Samuelsson samples cave-aged pecorino and anchovies, then tours the entire Italian Market." - Sonia Chopra
"From the Di Bruno Brothers shop in the century-old Italian Market to the chefs who are now bringing more regional cooking to the U.S. and to showcase their hometown flavors, this episode has everything from pizza to cannolis, with plenty of red sauce, burrata, and handmade pasta in between." - Eater Staff
"I visited the original Italian Market location of Di Bruno Bros., featured as a historic Philly icon." - Rachel Vigoda
"Ever walk by the original Italian Market Di Bruno Bros. in the evening and wonder who’s sampling the shop’s abundance of cheese? That’s Di Bruno Bros. After Hours: for two hours up to 16 friends can have the shop to themselves to sample fancy cheeses, charcuterie, antipasti, olive oils, vinegars, and other bites guided by extremely knowledgeable staffers; it’s BYOB (the shop recently opened a bottle shop nearby), costs $60 per person Monday–Thursday and $70 Friday–Sunday with an eight-person minimum (so expect to pay at least $480 plus tax and tip), and you can add a wine package with sparkling, white, red, dessert wine, and Lambrusco starting at $240." - Rachel Vigoda
