Where to Buy Interesting, Unusual, and Delicious Bottles of Wine in Philly

"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

I haven’t been to Di Bruno Bros in probably five years walking in they just did a store refresh with new shelving so it looks very nice but boy does that cheese smell hit you hard when you walk in one of my favorite things coming in here used to be getting their marinated olives out of a barrel I don’t see that here anymore. This has always been a class act for a shop such an amazing variety of cheese. They also have a lot of jams and honeys pastas and some really unique items.

Spent over $100 on cheese, and despite careful storage in the fridge, completely untouched by us, most of it went bad well before the sell by date. Consider re-training your employees on how to clean their cutting surfaces and implements because you may have a cross-contamination issue. Extremely disappointed by this and will not be returning to this location. (This is all especially ironic given the “funny” sign they have inside the shop about cheese being around since before refrigeration.)

This was my first visit, to pick up gourmet chocolates featured on their website. The store was packed on a weekday morning. It was noisy and chaotic, with no obvious lines for ordering or asking questions. After searching for a while, I was able to get the attention of an employee behind the counter. She was helpful and shepherded me over to a register.They didn't have the gift I wanted. I had to settle for something else. If you love imported cheese and want a classic Philly experience, give them a try.

I go to this location every other month to buy cheeses I can’t get where I live. This cheese was listed as 19.99 a lb. I tasted it, and bought it in the store. I asked the cheesemonger how long should it last. She said I should eat it “sooner rather than later” and when asking her again she confirmed within the next few days. I got it home the SAME day opened it and it was spoiled. Underneath the packaged date of Dibruno’s 4/30 is another date that shows a package date of 2/25. This is COMPLETELY unacceptable

The ultimate original cheese shop and Italian goods. Not to mention the staff gives incredible service and takes there time to educate you on the cheeses with samples. I travel alot and by far this is one of my favorite places in the world. Hit 9 th street and make sure you go in to see it all.

Very small placed packed with huge flavor. Exactly what I needed in an Italian deli. They have both deli and charcuterie meats and cheeses. Every type of topping and pairing imaginable. We got a loaf of bread, some genoa salami, hot capicola, hot peppers, and anise pizzelles. The service was very efficient and friendly.

OMG!!! This place is amazing!! I walked to the back of the store and side stepped my way to the front of the store amazed and overwhelmed by the enormous selection of gourmet foods. When I reached the front of the store, I was greeted by @Noah the Cheese Monger. I told him the kind of wine I had at home and he helped me find a selection of cheeses and meats. He let me taste a few. So delicious! Noah was patient, informative and ... just AWESOME! Thank you Noah! My charcuterie board will be delicious! I can't wait to come back again!

Though I have passed this place a million times in my life I never knew that it was a sandwich shop also. Today I ran into a coworker who suggested it and I gave it a try... Now I usually do not spend over 10 - 15 for a lunch sandwich this was way better than I expected. Now the down side was the carrot cake. It looked so good but don't fall for the faux Monet. It had no spice cake flavor. It kinda reminded me of Philly water. Don't get me wrong I'm a born and raised Philly girl who loves Philly water because it has no taste. And unfortunately, that was what the carrot cake was like... So the five stars was sandwich Only none for the cake

Walking in here is like walking into a little Italian or European cheese market. I truly was transported back to my days when I lived in Europe. The food choices are fantastic and they have a lot of other snacks. Like sausage and nuts. They let you try the cheese before you purchase it. I have so many eclectic options from all parts of the world. The service is also pretty good considering I didn't know what I wanted. He helped me out with Recommendations.

Read reviews about this is the place for good Italian meats and cheeses, so decided to stop in. First thing, be prepared for a very pungent smell due to all the cheese I assume. But I expected that it would be strong. Ethan was the guy helping. Asked him for any of his recommendation. He did not fail in any of his recommendation. His said his favorite cheese had just came back after a year hiatus. It was amazing. There seemed to be speckled with crystallized salt which gave it a very deep dimension. It was not a hard or creamy base cheese but a medium cheese. He also recommended complimentary meats. All that was recommended was spot on.

Come here if you love cheese. Pros: - They were sticklers about wearing masks, an older lady walked in without a mask and was immediately asked to put one on. - They offered samplers of pretty much everything, they ask you to quickly slip the piece under your mask. - Huge assortment of cheese and dried meats - Friendly staff, listened to our preferences of what cheese we liked and recommended a few to try that were similar Cons: - easy to spend money, we bought everything we tasted lol - smaller space, can't imagine foot traffic during peak times and people trying out samplers right bumping into you. Overheard a lady said she wanted to step outside since she didn't feel safe during covid, which I completely get

absolutely terrible service, especially from a alleged nice place . I ordered on the 13th & it's the 21st and maybe the label was printed according to them. So the gift could arrive on the 28th according to them. The food will either spoil or the neighbors will eat it because the recipient will have left for vacation by then. I ordered Harry & David, took 5 days & it was a great experience. Do not take a chance with Di Bruno Bros, it's terrible!!!!!

Very nice full service shop with cheeses, some meats and other Italian items. The counter staff are very knowledgeable and seem eager to help. Di Bruno feels like an Italian Market classic that has been here forever.

Picked up a pre-made turkey Cobb salad from here for lunch. The salad was delicious and the ingredients were fresh. The meats and cheeses are the best from here. I also enjoy the rosemary artisan crackers. There are also Tuesday crab cakes for $11.99 each! Cakes are also available. Perks if you are a healthcare worker as they give 10% off your order when they see your badge!

Loved this smaller Di Bruno's right in the Italian market! Even though we didn't know what exactly we wanted, the cheesemongers (new word learned there) created a fun experience for us recommending & letting us sample different cheese until we were happy with our selections. We chose Brabrander Goat Gouda and Alta Langha Robiola Bosina that was perfect with some wine we got at the corner shop down the street for our picnic by the Schuylkill!

I was sent an Italian Hoagie Kit as a gift. Order # 415377. The shipping label stated it shipped on 12-13-2023. It arrived 7 days after it shipped. The two ice packs were melted and the food inside of the box was room temperature. I contacted Di Bruno Bros and spoke to one of their customer service reps. I was informed that the item actually shipped from Eagan , MN and arrived within a day. When asked how that could be and explaining the ice was melted, I was informed that that was "Normal" and the ice was "Doing its job". I was also informed that the meat and other perishable items come from MN. So according to Di Bruno Bros it must be normal to deliver warm perishable items that are marked KEEP REFRIGERATED. It must also be normal that ice packs completely thaw in one day while being packed in an insulated delivery box.

Had my first experience with Di Bruno Bros. during the Italian Market Festival, so the menu was not their usual full selection. I had the meatball sandwich, that was almost more like a meatball pocket, which made for a great street bite. One of the employees checked in on how my friend and I liked our selections and explained they were planning to try out these items in some of their other locations soon.

I stop by here impulsively while walking arround the area. Let me first say that this sort of shop isn't a place I would typically go. The products all look amazing but they are a little above my typical grocery budget. As a result even though the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, I was hesitant to engage too much. Ultimately I bought a few "orphan" cheeses and some bread. The bread was AMAZING and I can't recommend it highly enough. The cheese was fine by my selection didn't really go together that well. Had I been more willing to seek the help of the staff I'm sure I would have wound up with a more pleasing combination. While shopping I stopped by a few of the other similar stores selling cheese/meat/dry good. This was by FAR the friendliest.

Now that this is in my neck of the woods, it's both a blessing and a curse. A blessing in that if I'm craving a nice block of goat cheese, I've got a place. A curse in that it takes everything in my power to not visit here every single day. It's a beacon of all things charcuterie and I'm hooked. It's a tiny Italian Market establishment, but stocked to the brim with aged cheeses, dried & cured meats, jars of sweet jams and spicy olives, vodka sauce & arrabiata, and a good variety of crackers and breads (if you get there early enough). All that's missing is wine, but just go half a block down to DiBrunos bottle shop and you're set. Word on the street is they host wine and cheese parties. You can rent out the place for the night and impress your friends and coworkers by nibbling on a chunk of Gouda and saying "yes, this is cheese." Pro tip: they sometimes leave unsold baguettes outside the door in a bag but sidewalk food is sus at best (although I was tempted.)

Those Di Bruno Bros are alright! Winding down our time at the Italian market, we decided to stop in and get some snacks for dinner, but it looked like the rest of Philly had the same idea based on the crowd inside! Di Bruno Bros staff are top notch, not only explaining everything you could imagine with the thing you're pointing at behind the counter, but also in giving you great pairing advice if you want one thing to go with another. We got the following things: Blue cheese Parmesan Cheese liver pate Prosciutto Man this was some good stuff! Cheese is excellent, coming from "the house of cheese". The blue cheese was both creamy and had these little crunchy ends to it which made me smile every time I took a bite. The Parmesan was also fresh and really popped with flavor. As for the meats, i'd never tried pate before Di Bruno Bros, but how delicious! The prosciutto wrapping the blue cheese was some of the best things we'd eaten in Philly. Everything we sampled was fresh, and even if you weren't sure about a cheese or a cured meat, they'd happily slice a little off for you to try, and try we did. I really didn't taste anything I didn't like. The problem, it seems, was making a selection! I didn't know what I was expecting when I walked in, but if I lived in the area, i'd be at Di Bruno Bros several times a month for snacks. If you're in the Italian market, or even if you're not (they have a website), check these Bros out!

Sitting out side along 9th street on a perfectly beautiful night with my wife. This is what life is about. Fine meats and cheeses under romantic lighting. If you were looking for a first date this would be the perfect place before November.

I have ordered casual catering meals from Di Bruno Bros for family gatherings and cheese boards for entertaining for the past 9 years, and have always been delighted. Not this year! The website said "gluten-free crackers available upon request" so I requested them for my gluten free guests. They advised me that there was only one type of gluten free cracker, so I shouldn't ask for the whole order to be gluten free. I thought okay, I'll buy some additional gluten free crackers at the market. They did not tell me there would be a $15 charge for the gluten free crackers. When I saw it on the bill I figured it must be a tray of really nice gourmet gluten free crackers and let it go. So, I was stunned when my husband returned from the South Philly pick up with a plastic bowl of plain rice crackers, about 20% broken. I could buy a package of those at Acme for $3.79. They basically charged me $11.00 to carelessly toss them in a container. I was annoyed, but oh well, stuff happens and they're busy. Fortunately, we found two delicious gluten free crackers elsewhere. Those were eaten, the rice crackers they sent were not. I would have been fine if that was the only disappointment. However, the Marcona almonds included on the board were also broken, mostly chopped up like filler, with very few whole almonds. Moreover, the Manchego cheese on the tray was cut wrong, so that most of the slices were completely covered with rind on one side. I've had Manchego before, and this is not how it is served. I put on gloves and sliced the backs off half the order before arranging everything on my own dishes. It was very clear that they threw this together with no concern for customer satisfaction. They lost a customer.

I ordered a gift basket for Xmas delivery from Di Bruno...took 15 days to deliver. It arrived after Xmas. I needed to call the recipient of the gift to apologize for the lateness of my gift. I tried to contact the CS website several times, I have had no response from them. CS needs help...stay away from the mail order site.

I frequent di Bruno bros since I live close by. The selection is incredible! I swear they have 100 different cheeses. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Things I love there: Oat milk latte Breakfast sandwiches (have interesting delicious cheeses in them) Selection of oils and vinegars All the sweets (warning the cake is VERY dense.... Don't eat too much or you'll feel a sugar coma coming on) All the cheeses Prepared foods Cheesy potatoes Creamed spinach The staff! Things that weren't as good as I thought they'd be (but not worth taking off stars): The cake (see above - just a bit too sweet - yes even for cake) Eggplant parmigiana - not bad but not as good as everything else I hope this helps! I'm so lucky to live close by.

My company did the after hour event and it was fantastic! Ben and Nathan were very knowledgeable about all the products and super accommodating. I bought some products home and they have all been just as tasty as they were that night. My only sadness is that I don't live in Philly and won't be able to go back as often as I'd like. Great place!!

My mother took me to the original DiBruno's store when I was a baby. Then we would head down to the Spice Corner. This place always had the best stuff including its famous Abruzzese spread, French and Italian cheeses and its urbane staff. However, the owners decided to be significantly more elitist in its selection of great cheeses and noble meats. As of two years ago, the owners discontinued selling the famous Pecorino del Poliziotto or ( as wildly considered the best cured meat in Italy) the famous salsiccia secca from Chiaravalle Centrale in Calabria. This is also known as the Cisco sausage. These unfortunate decisions by the owner have cost them most of old school South Philadelphia's business. I wish you good luck, Emilio.

Olives and cheeses and meats, oh my! Di Bruno Brothers is pretty rad on a normal day, but my Love and I got to experience the after-hours magic and boy, were we happy. For $70 per person, you have the entire store to yourself between the hours of 7:00 PM through 9:00 PM (advance reservations are a must, along with a deposit). There were 10 of us in total and we felt that it was just the right amount of people. The friendly and funny cheese mongers put together numerous plates of cheeses, cured meats, olives, nuts, and even chocolates for us to sample. They explained the rationale behind the pairings as they went along, so essentially, this is not only a food-based event but it's educational also! Happen to see a bag of breadsticks on the shelf that you feel compelled to try? Hand it over to the mongers and they'll open it for you. Literally, you can sample anything in the store. And you'll receive a discount on anything you purchase that night also. We purchased some cocoa covered almonds that didn't stand a chance in our home. Fantastic! The highlight of the event was sampling a very special prosciutto that runs about $100 per pound. Perhaps the pig was a gift from heaven? It must have been, as it was melt-in-your-mouth delish. The funniest aspect of the evening were the passers-by who tried to enter the store and join the party. Tough noogies! Book your own event and experience the indulgence yourselves :) Bring your favorite alcohol and bring your favorite foodies. Great night out in South Philadelphia!

Oh my goodness. Food porn galore. Beautiful rounds of exotic cheeses. Phallic-looking big, juicy sausages hanging from the wall. Varieties of unusual dried pastas, ready to cook. If you have that look of wild-eyed desire without a clue of where to even start, start up a conversation with one of the friendly guys behind the counter. Next thing you'll know, he'll be offering you slivers of cheeses that will send shivers down your spine. And then he'll recommend some kind of nut you've never heard of that he'll pour into your open palm, waxing poetic about its source. And you'll quietly moan with pleasure. And then you'll walk out the door having spent money you didn't intend on spending but OH THAT CHEESE.

Placed an order for a Christmas gift on Black Friday. Was asked to choose delivery week at check out. Chose Christmas week. Was notified via generic email the night before it was to be shipped (5 days before Christmas) that "supply chain issues were affecting some of their orders but they were working day and night to satisfy customers." Since then I've emailed and called several times to ask when my order will be shipped as I am traveling after the holidays. If the order ships while I'm gone the enclosed food will spoil before I return. I was trying to inform them to postpone delivery until after I return. I've received no response or acknowledgement. Christmas is tomorrow and my order is still "awaiting fulfillment". And other than the generic email that my order "may be delayed" I've received no correspondence from this company regarding the order I placed a month ago. This will be the last time I order from them.

Came here for a 30th birthday after hours and had such a great time with a few friends. I never been here during the day but I highly suggest making a booking after hours and you can try ANYTHING you want in the store for approximately 2 hours (except the raw foods - like bacon.. if only they could cook it!). It comes with a price but its SO worth it and so much fun! You can be fancy schmancy and bring your own wine/beer too :) The staff is incredibly knowledgeable about all their items. Ask them anything and they will be able to answer it all. Staff is very energetic and have great energy. We all had a blast and learned so much about cheeses. The meats and cheeses here are expensive but it's because it's so good. There wasn't one thing that I tried during my visit that I didn't like. Highly recommend!

HORRIBLE customer service! I have ordered from here before and its clear to see they dont give a damn about their customers!! After you leave messages etc no return calls or emails! Funny how all during December they are out of alot of stuff but SHOCKER a couple of days after Christmas the stuff is back in stock. They have shown they are unreliable and unprofessional and do not care about their customers. Until they wake up I will order from a company who cares!

Laughable bad place for cheese. The first thing any person with the slightest bit of cheese knowledge knows will be the entire staff is clueless when it comes to cheese. From storing it, to cutting it, to temperature control, etc. Showing photos of the place to other store owners in different parts of the world their first reaction is total shock and they visible cringe seeing pics of unrefrigerated cheese. These are people who grew up making cheese and working in cheese. On the bright side, the staff is always incredibly friendly and many non cheese related products are stocked (though a touch pricey).

My friend booked the After Hours event at the original DBB location in the Italian Market for his wife's birthday last week, and i (luckily) was invited. I have to say, it was one of the coolest things I've done in the city. The staff people (Scotty & Jeffrey Davey or Davey Jeff? Can't remember which one! lol) were AMAZING! So helpful, nice, friendly, knowledgeable - just all around great! The food was obviously amazing too! Specially curated platters, pairings, and so much awesomeness! Loved every minute of it! Thank you!

Love Di Bruno Bros! I wanted to make an amateur cheese platter for NYE so we headed to the Italian Market. It was packed on NYE of course, but service was fast. The employees were not shy with samples and answered all our questions. We got cheese,meat, crackers, spreads, olives, tomatoes! Delicious!!!

Delicious cheeses and more. Lady behind the counter had me try some cheeses which I ended up getting, but they were damn expensive! Should have asked the price before I said yes. Black lava cashews are quite delicious and pair nicely with the Lamuse Gouda ($29.99/lb!)

I ordered a Christmas package (make your own hoagie} on December 2 2021 to be delivered the week of December 13 2021. It arrived after Christmas, in fact a week after. I tried contacting them, when I knew my shipment did not happen, won't answer phones nor answer emails. When my package did arrive, the rolls which were included in the bundle, were outdated for sale. Use by date of December 10. Why would they ship something outdated? I have called them and left several messages regarding this issue for the rolls were hard and could not be used in making the hoagie. They have not responded to my emails nor phone messages. I am from Philadelphia, and have heard good things about them but I will never send anyone anything from this company again. The price is $$$ but the service is not indicative of the cost. If they had addressed my issue, they would not have gotten this review.

This is what cheese heaven must be. The second you walk in your senses kick in. First you see all of these wonderful displays of cheeses from all parts of the world. Next you get this amazing smell of all these different cheeses, olives and cured meats. Finally you get to sample the different varieties of cheeses they have. By the time you leave there you will have purchased at least 3-4 different types of cheeses and meats. The store is a bit on the small side but just get in line and it will soon be your turn to taste and be served by one of their experienced staff. The person who took care of ya was friendly and knowledgeable. Once we sampled several of the cheeses he started to suggest others which were similar to what we liked. It took us a while but all throughout he was patient and helpful. By the time we left I had not realized how much we had purchased but when the bill was presented I was surprised it was not more. If you visit the Italian Market you have to stop here; well worth the wait.

Whether you're having an event catered, making your on cheese board for a gathering, or just shopping the Sunday market... Di Bruno is always A+ service and quality. Some of the packages and catering options can get quite pricey but you're paying for the best! If you're just grabbing things to take home/host a gathering you can not go wrong with the DB Cheese Spreads -- Abbruzze is the best. (Roasted Garlic and Herb, Smoked Gouda and Beer, and Cheddar & Horseradish also delicious) The Perfect Pairings Gift is also another good option if you're looking to bring home a little of everything. If your not from the area try to go around the market hours to make it a nice afternoon when you can really talk to the staff about the products and sample a few. Catering wise -- these guys are 5/5. Always on time, staff is wonderful and helpful and the food displays/presentation is always gorgeous. And of course, the food is ALWAYS a hit with any type of crowd.

I don't know what else I really want out of a cheese shop. Great cheese, great service where the cheesemongers (that's the most accurate term right?) are actually super helpful, good meats. Really the toughest thing is not buying too much since they'll keep giving you samples and you'll keep being like "damn, i should just get that too" They also have this dastardly strategy of taking things that you're holding and putting them behind the counter for you until you're ready. I think this keep you from changing your mind. Clever.

I love cheese and for my birthday my son and family sent me a variety of cheeses, unfortunately three came spoiled, the ice packs were completely thawed out but the fault was delivery was not made on time. I called their number and a very nice lady, Maria, immediately apologized and told me some of the cheeses were not available anymore but she would check and call me back. It was Memorial Day weekend so I asked to please call on Wednesday and so she did, I was not home and left a message. When I called back she knew who I was, ordered other cheeses and within two days I got them, so delicious and customer service was first class. I will tell my son my next gift should be cheeses from them.

Di Bruno has all types of cheeses and meats! We were overwhelmed by all they had but their staff were super helpful with questions and suggestions. We got a variety of things from a brie to goat cheeses and sampled a shmear which was very tasty. We picked up several sopressata and prosciutto and jams. We enjoyed everything we got and was not disappointed.

I ordered in plenty of time for Christmas delivery. A tracking number was given but the package never left DiBruno's. I have tried to contact by phone several times, left voicemails as no one answered. Never heard back. I signed an online contact form and haven't heard back. I emailed and haven't heard back. This is beyond poor customer service not to contact the customer. I sent this package, $137 order, to one of my clients. I am so thankful that I did not send it to all my clients as I contemplated doing. What a disaster that would have been. Very disappointed and at this point truly frustrated.

Di Bruno Bros. is a magical place overflowing with meats and cheeses and filled to the literal rafters with tasty food delights. These folks know their meats and cheeses and they happily share samples with you. It is cheese heaven on earth! I tasted some of the most amazing flavors and textures of cheese and meat that I have eaten in my life. They were so happy to share details and make suggestions. The store is an amazing assortment of sights, smells and colors. There were so many gourmet food items but all I could think of was cheese and charcuterie - yes please! I will certainly stop by the next time I am in Philly and I am bringing an empty suitcase to fill with goodies.

As soon as I walked in, I knew I was in cheese heaven! They have an array of choices for cheeses, meats, breads, sauces, olives, oils, and basically anything else you need for a cheese board/picnic. My favorite cheese was this manchego that was so buttery, I'm still thinking about it! Plus the service was great, the man that helped us allowed us to sample a few pieces before deciding what we wanted, amazing right?! When I'm back in Philly, def coming back here!

If you want high quality Italian cheeses, deli meats and imported pasta's and tomatos this is where you come to in Philadelphia's Little Italy Market District. When I say top quality I mean exceptionally high quality, you will almost be force fed samples of cheeses and deli items and for good reason, you try you buy! The cheeses are simply out of this world but worth every penny, the home made sausages are exquisite especially the cheese broccoli-rabe sausage, oh my goodness bought a ton. Don't miss the market with it's coffee shops and restaurauts when visiting Philadephia.

Di Bruno Bros. (not Bruno Mars the Pop/Rock, R&B singer) is a gourmet cheese deli with homemade spices of vinegars and hand made culinary sauces. Staff is an attentive hoard army who are sprightly ready and able to serve customers as it appears they are the cheese connoisseurs. Knowledgeable indeed but these brothers need to boast by sugarcoating it, malignant narcissists. Somewhat pricey but not near bankrupt level. Free samples are available and associates appears to proudly boast of their high quality of gourmet cheeses as one clearly stated to a customer: "you can search all over the world for the best cheeses and you come back to us for we have the highest quality!!" Boastful indeed. "When pride comes, then comes dishonor. But with the humble is wisdom." Proverbs 11:2 "Who is a wise man and endured with knowledge among you? Let him shew out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom." James 3:13 Staff composes entirely of forty-something men, not typical pushy aggressive, but surely contains a lot of hot air in the ego to sugar coat in-flat their artisan cheeses. Can Di Bruno Bros. shred an ounce of humility to hone meekness? Hell spawn NO! Their Brie cheese is not entirely brine in a ocean of salt, but a good composure of consistency made fresh. Nevertheless Di Bruno Bros. bears fine gourmet cheese, as they do not drop a GRENADE on you for quality!
