Founder
Danny & Joe Di Bruno

Founded in 1939 by Italian immigrant brothers Danny and Joe Di Bruno in Philadelphia's Italian Market on 9th Street, Di Bruno Bros expanded from a neighborhood deli to multiple locations including a flagship in the Comcast Center. The cheese counter is genuinely broad — both Italian heritage selections and well-stocked French, Spanish, Dutch, and American sections. Strong in aged and hard cheeses; the salumi (cured meats) selection is also exceptional. The original 9th Street location retains a cluttered, deli-counter character that newer locations have not entirely preserved. Family-owned through multiple generations; the current ownership maintains the editorial position.

Editorial note
Online ordering active; in-store experience at the original 9th Street location remains the editorial heart.
