Went to the one in Comcast Center. Will never go back. Sandwich laid in my stomach like a rock for a day. Overpriced. Better to get a candy bar and wait til you can find a better place.

Can satisfy most paletes for breakfest , lunch or dinner if your looking to take something home or your hotel.

Step inside and it's like heaven.. great cheeses and breads, balsamic vinegar, the list goes on but the best part is the staff. Frank, a 17 year old, no kidding is the best salesman ever! He greeted us with "fantastic" when asked "how are you" and continued to amaze me with his enthusiasm. I can't wait to go back!

This is our neighborhood cheese shop, the one on Chestnut at 18th Street. The Italian Market shop, while much smaller, is equally great on cheese selection, just not the wider variety the large 18th Street store is. Re cheese, the cheesemongers are very knowledgeable and will give you tastes and a little lesson on the cheeses you're interested in if... More

Nice, friendly staff assist you with your purchases and guide you regarding the best cheese or provision based on your own tastes. Lots to see; great aromas. A fun stop along Ninth Street as you enjoy the sights and experiences of the Italian Market in Philadelphia. Our local supermarket now stocks the same great Di Bruno product line--cheeses, olives, etc--testimony... More

This place is the best. Lots of food to sample, all kinds of interesting stuff to buy. Greatest cheese selection from all over the world. Upstairs you can eat, and relax. It's the best place. Try a Fr, baguette, Fr. muenster, and some olives. "Deee lish"

This is always a unique experience. The people who work here are so knowledgable about the products they sell and have never disappointed us. Their cheese is the best in the area!!!

This is one of my favorite grocery stores. A great place to visit if you enjoy gourmet groceries or cheese stores. Spend time with a cheese monger picking out the perfect bleu cheese to accompany the fresh fruit you choose. Stop in for handmade pasta, fresh seafood, or pre-made dishes that will sate your palate. Eggplant parmesan is a favorite.... More
