Dont let the small size fool you - every square foot is stocked with a delightful treasure trove of deliciousness. The cheesemongers here are extremely knowledgable and know exactly what pairings go best together. If you want a unique culinary experience, book one of their after hours events - you will not regret it.

This place is about as real as it gets. High quality products, a staff with personality, and busy. If you want an authentic South Philly experience start here. I assure you nothing will even come close for the rest of your day possibly even life. Upon arrival there wasnt even room to walk in the door. Place was jam packed. Prepare to spend hundreds of dollars if you love cheese and cured meats. Not because its inherently expensive but because these guys will educate you and let you try things before buying. You cant help but want to spend all of your money. This place is the Nexus of the universe when it comes to high quality cured meats and cheese!

In the best way, I can say visiting Di Bruno’s is like coming home to family; if your family had the best supply of cheese, olives, and meats. The charming, intelligent, and experienced cheesemongers and butchers are willing to help you discover true gems of products you cant get anywhere else.

Absolutely loved this place. Okay, first, knowledgeable people working here who can really explain everything perfect and make excellent suggestions. Samples? Yes please, try what you want to try before you search and select. Meats and cheeses from all around the globe. Singer prepared sandwiches that were fabulous as well. Great find, worth seeing and heading down to the Italian market area in South Philly .

What a fabulous store. If you love cheese this is the place to go. But this has so much more. Must visit, too many wonderful things to suggest. But be aware parking is an issue but worth the effort.

It was a terrible situation but he might have learned to keep his trap shut. Sometimes these things happen when you inherit a business and you never have to struggle to make the business. Very costly learning experience. You could build good will by lowering your prices but they didn’t.

It was a great experience for me. I was making a purchase that could have been complex, but the employee that help me made me feel so comfortable and handled everything smoothly. I was looking for a cheese wheel that I could use the inside as a fondue and the outside as a “cake” over which the sing happy birthday to my son. For such an odd request she was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. First experience here but definitely will not be my last. Thanks for all your help!Sarah

Amazing selection if all things meat and cheese related. The staff is passionate and knowledgeable beyond belief. They will open cut and let you sample any cheese and it usually sells itself at that point. My favorite cheese is their black truffle Bree, the only downside is that stuff that tastes that good isnt cheap.A must-visit if you are seeing Philadelphias Italian market.

Review №48

We came here while on vacation and I could of easily spent a fortune. The meat selection is great, but the cheeses are superlative! The young man who assisted me with my selections was very patient and went above and beyond to help me decide what I liked. The raw cheese selection is notches above what you would get at a high end supermarket. Now that Im back home, 2300 miles away, I am delighted to see they have a website I can order at home from. Would recommend.

Review №53

I had no idea of the history of this place when I walked by. I just saw a place that checked all the boxes for authenticity. Its the closest thing to shopping in a small town in Northern Italy as you can get. They were able to vector me into some fantastic cheeses despite my ethereal requests. This is now on my Philly must-visit list.

I will never go into this store again. There treatment of 1st Responders was horrible. The officers never asked for anything from them. They caved to their workers. Please DO NOT USE THIS STORE. Go next door to Claudios.....

Excellent service! So many wonderful choices its hard to choose what to focus on. Today I chose cheese to sample and buy. What a treat! Way better than a certain gourmet grocery thats in our area and known for cheese. Next trip I will be focusing on the olives and the olive oil, Im thinking Im going to have to bring an extra suitcase. :-)

Usually, I stop at the di bruno bros in center city, but being in a hurry I decided to stop at this location because it was closer, the customer service was horrible, also they couldnt even find what I was looking for which is not normal.. ive never had any problems until I stepped food in this location. i tryed to settle for the pasta salad which was bland compared to center city location 😒... learned my lesson trying to save time

This is my go-to place for specialty cheeses Meats olive oil and any other kind of specialty food you can think of. They have a fantastic selection of cheese from all over the world. they also have a large selection of olive oils, vinegars, and Specialty Foods. Theres a large array of olives, cured meats and other goodies. Once you go there youll definitely go back.

Did Bruno is outstanding. Cheese, and homemade fresh pastas are fantastic. The red gravy and meatballs are delicious. The also have a full blown deli around 18th and Chestnut. If you are near there or the Italian Market in South Philly you gotta stop in and buy!

Review №69

It still has good Italian items that are hard to find elsewhere but it lost the charm it had when the kids took over. Obviously much more profit oriented now. They push the high margin products and eliminated the sample trays. Even the help seems less neighborly and a bit colder. They also branched out the name to other locations. Pity. It used to be one of my favorite places.

Davey James is the bomb. He let us try out some samples and explained what made each cheese so unique. This place is the bees knees. Top notch meats and cheeses, but also sells a variety of imported good like bitters, oils, etc. Loved it.

Review №72

Theres nothing like a DiBruno Bros on the West Coast (where Im from). I love both locations Ive been to, this one and the big one on Chestnut. The spicy soppresata is so good, and I love their gift baskets which I try to send home for holiday gifts to my family back home. If you just want to pick up some tasty meats, cheeses and spreads for party appetizers, come to this one. Otherwise youll want to go to the big one on Chestnut for more food options like sandwiches and breads.

Review №73

The food was good, but a bit on the pricey side mid teens to 20 per plate. Wait stuff was friendly, but witnessed a waitress drink from a diners beverage which was a complete turn off to returning. Be sure to put in a reservation if you go here on a Saturday to avoid having to sit at the bar or having no seats available. The Gelato is amazing so many flavors to choose from!

This place house has an amazing selection of fresh pasta homemade. Whats really incredible is the cheese selection and also the cheese spreads. I found some really creative cheese spreads and burrata. There is burrata made with pesto and some with truffle and the staff seemed really attentive and friendly even though we did not purchase anything. Definitely worth a stop to pick up some Italian Delicacies

We go here whenever we visit the Italian Market! They have a huge variety of delicious cheeses and Italian specialty products, and they let you try the cheese before they cut your order. It can be a little overwhelming due to the number of people who go there. Id recommend going with an idea of what you want/what you need it for to make things easier when its crowded.

Review №97

I used this location of Di Bruno Brothers for a party I was having for my husband’s 40th Birthday. I wanted 5 very specific cheese boards and accompanying condiments, bread, crackers and olives. I also wanted to pair the cheeses with cocktails for the party. I had the pleasure of working with Tommy Amorim, he was knowledgeable and helpful with every aspect of this process. He helped me choose a beautiful selection of cheeses with really great jams, mostardas, honey, marmalade’s and additional accompaniments. They cheese boards ended up looking so great, tasted even better and they were a huge hit at the party.I cannot thank Tommy and Di Bruno brothers enough for everything they did to help us out, please don’t hesitate to use them for you next even if party either!
