Jeffery CFebruary 11, 2014I always enjoy stopping in when I'm in center city. It reminds me of Dean & Deluca but is even better. Helpful staff and great selection. The shrimp salad is homemade and to die for!- Rob McGowanJuly 17, 2018Their Rittenhouse Square is loaded with meat & seafood, a coffee bar, an upstairs café and gourmet grocery. Grab a sandwich and find a shady spot in Rittenhouse Square.
Jenn RyanOctober 26, 2013Insanely friendly staff & amazing food! I got a little bit of everything & wasn't disappointed with a single purchase. The s'mores cupcake is great and try the eggplant parm.
Reinhold ResidentialSeptember 27, 2012Cheese lovers unite! This gourmet grocer corners the market on cheeses, cured meats, foodstuffs and prepared items to enjoy at home or in the bright second floor café.- A major destination for any Italian specialty food connoisseur and purveyor of hoagie fillings galore, Di Bruno Bros. makes a mean sandwich in its own right, with a high-quality olive-oil drizzle.
Lisa RandolphOctober 25, 2018Deli and bakery with prepared choices are fresh with lots of variety. Vegan choices and loads of friendly help.- Fodor's TravelAugust 22, 2018Sampling the wares can make for a good snack, but if you require something more substantial, head to the café upstairs.

Paul RansomAugust 30, 2013Simply fantastic and a foodies' paradise. This is Philly's Dean&DeLuca. A must visit for any foodie in Philly area.
Lance LacoffFebruary 4, 2015They are seemingly carrying less high end, rare, exceptional cheeses unfortunately (difficulty turning a profit on them?), but still a very good selection. The cheesemongers are generally helpful.- Philadelphia MagazineSeptember 19, 2011Some places might get a little too pretentious about their pizza without enough flavor to back it up. Of course Di Bruno's is not one of them. Try the pie with fig jam, prosciutto, and balsalmic. Read more
ISEPTAPHILLYAugust 20, 2014So easy to get here on SEPTA. A short walk from the Market-Frankford Line, Suburban Regional Rail Station, or plan any number of bus routes at our website. Read more
did you know DiBruno's is more that just a gourmet store it offers Hot meals for lunch. Stop by and enjoy the great food and atmosphere!
RCDecember 30, 2014They have top notch food items here. Don't be afraid to ask questions, they're knowledgable and friendly.
Dale ThompsonDecember 31, 2015Friendly staff, quality and plentiful food. One of my fav spots in Center City.- Diana TobeyMarch 21, 2010This is the best spot to pick up food for a picnic in Rittenhouse Square. It's got a great selection of fine cheeses & meats - ask the counter for samples/suggestions. Get the San Benedetto peach tea.
Joshua HaftelDecember 27, 2014Great smells in here, wish I had a chance to peruse their meats and cheeses. Next time, when I'm not in a rush.
Greg DJanuary 13, 2016Great food, knowledgeable staff. Amazing cheese selection, excellent pre-prepared take home meals.
Daniel WolfAugust 7, 2014This place is a wonderland of food. It's expensive, but it's fun to just walk around and get inspired to cook something.
Michael Einbinder-SchatzJuly 30, 2011Amazing choices to refine and expand any palate. However, be forewarned: if you eat here and upstairs is closed, that means no bathroom access. This is a bit frustrating- The pasta Carmella is delicious. Just spicy enough and perfectly cheesy. My all time fav. The staff is always very friendly! Great atmosphere.
Charlie TranenJune 28, 2015Had a great spicy salami recommended by the guy at the counter. We sat outside to eat
Christine ShepherdSeptember 15, 2012They serve Illy coffee here which is reason enough to come by. Food looks fresh and delicious too.
Amy ShellhammerAugust 13, 2014Most knowledgeable cheesemongers around. And delicious baked goods too.
Becky BlossomAugust 17, 2011Awesome food shop and gourmet sandwiches that will make you say "bellisimo"!!! Not far from Rittenhouse square and by lots of shopping too.
New charcuterie line is delicious... Mole salami & the speck are stand-outs- If you are looking for something lite but filling try DiBrunos Cheese Plate!
Great lunch spread. Illy coffee and awesome cookies. Get extra chutney on the napolean panini.
Anthony McDonnellSeptember 13, 2020Be on the lookout for the Mulino Bianco cookies and Pipers Sea Salt Crisps!
- Ask for a sample! They have a 300-square foot cheese cave with 500 varieties of cheese, glorious cheese.
Tressie Hinton-HanfordJuly 2, 2012Best prochuto EVER! OUTSTANDING customer service!! I LOVE DI BRUNO'S! !
Simon BarrattJanuary 30, 2013Be wary of the pre made hoagies. The bread suffers as the juice from the tomatoes make it soggy.
The café opens at 7:00 am. Great place for office party treats! Pick up a pound or two of cookies and make the whole office smile!
Get a sandwich! Best way to get a taste of all the awesome stuff they offer here!
