Peruse the famed Italian Market and sample a variety of cheeses and fresh fruit - just don't try to return an already eaten piece of fruit like Mac does for Charlie in an episode of Always Sunny.Upvoted Mar 17
The Wall Street JournalAugust 3, 2014This open-air market has been here forever. It is still strongly ethnic, not just Italian. There are Koreans, Indians and Pakistanis. My favorite is Villa de Roma, a no-frills, down-home place. Read more
Missy NarkiewiczJune 16, 2017Great place for true foodies to get supplies. Real butchers, cheeses, spices & fish providers with veggies too. Like a walk back in time. Smells can be a bit strong though (good & bad)
Just walk along and soak up everything! Dibruno Bros is always a good choice.- Rob McGowanAugust 6, 2018Pasta, cheese, cheap fruits & veggies, clean and convenient. Snack on samples along the way.
Francesco BleveNovember 4, 2014From the fish to the vegetables, you will find plenty of fresh food, just few steps away from the city center.
- C EdwardsAugust 3, 2013This is my favorite place in Philadelphia! Great produce at reasonable prices. Try going on a food tour of the Italian Market, it's a great way to try the original places but also Asian and Mexican.
- C EdwardsAugust 3, 2013Also try Tortilleria San Roman at 951 S. 9th! FRESH, homemade tortillas daily. The blue corn tortillas and chips are to die for but get there early on the weekends because they sell out quick.
KarenOctober 30, 2022Amazing market filled with plenty of old and new Italian goods and eateries. Check out freetoursbyfoot.com for a great food tour by Jenn! Tip well!
NBC PhiladelphiaJuly 18, 2011Opened in the 1880s by Antonio Palumbo, the Italian Market is America's Oldest Outdoor Market. While the Italian fare remains great, it's also home to some of the best Mexican and Asian food in town.
Try Nina's, the new BYO near the spice shop. Food is delish, owners nice and it really is the best Italian food on the market. More sophisticates than the other, more traditional spots.- Best produce stand for the novice: Scott & Judy's at the north end of the market. Best for the pro who knows what to look for: Paul & Frances Giordano at Washington Avenue.
Many places in the market are cash only. Make sure to have some on hand. If buying produce, check out a few stands before selecting. The next one always seems to have better deals and product- Nina's is awesome! We like to get many small plates and bring a couple of bottles. Definitely try the ricotta gnocchi and the grilled radicchio.
Game meats, cured meats, a billion kind of sausages, imported cheeses, herbs, REAL BUTCHERS. Foodies & Cooks can find a million meals to make with what's for sale here.
RCFebruary 2, 2016It's a fading tradition but the stalls are there and it's a nice place to stroll through on a sunny Sunday.
Polly CalabroApril 14, 2012the vegetables are such good deals instead of buying them at chain stores. Ethnic markets are always cheaper, so come and save a few bucks
The International GazetteOctober 31, 2017Great café lounges. Http://belmontcafe.myorganogold.com/preferred-customer
- DiBruno Bros. fans MUST visit the original store, located here, for that old-time feel and atmosphere!
Open weeklong, historic, and so much more affordable than other similar locations throughout the city, like Reading Terminal
Marilyn RussellMay 19, 2012Find ben south of Washington. Say hello and pay games for prizes. And of course grab some Isgros!!!
StouponsFebruary 24, 2012Ohhhh my oh my oh my. There are Italian people, and then there are people who pose as Italians when talking about food. Go here. That is all.
Classic Philadelphia spot for food shopping or just plain walking around.
Marilyn JohnsonOctober 17, 2011I'll miss living here. Esp. Di Bruno's, Fante's, Talluto's, and George's. I'll miss it all, frankly.
Christopher MarshallJanuary 27, 2012This guy's artwork is a amazing. I saw it all over DC and now prints of it are appearing all over Philly. I heard he is homeless... Who are you!!!?
Support your town! Produce here is ready to eat not old! Fruit and bread should not last you 3 weeks, that's not food it's a science experiment.

"Incredible selection of everything! Buy some roasted peppers, Spanish meat, fresh bread for a tapa treat! DBB is a must if you're in Philly. FYI: You WILL drop some cash here but it's so0000 worth it!"
C Edwards - 8.4
"Here, to the strains of Frank Sinatra, you can sample a fresh panino with prosciutto and mozzarella or indulge in homemade cannoli or gelato imported from Italy."

"In my opinion, the best cannoli in Philadelphia. There is usually a Christmas time rush and is very busy; but it's definitely worth it on other days. The ladies that work here are very nice."
