Italian Cuisine
The immense popularity of Italian cuisine globally isn't unknown. You can find an Italian Pizzeria around every corner of almost every city in the United States. Not to forget that in every house, people enjoy mac and cheese as comfort food. But it would be wrong to believe that Italian food starts with pizza and ends with good pasta as this Mediterranean country has much more to offer other than these two dishes. In Italian Cuisine, there is a high use of fresh tomatoes, all kinds of herbs, great quality of cheese, all types of meat, seafood and fresh handmade pasta. Many find it hard to believe that Italians have been making noodles long back.
Italian and Greek cuisines are always mistaken to be same, but they are poles apart. The primary difference between the two cuisines is the use of cheese in most of the Italian dishes. Italians love to cultivate their own cheese and process them as per their food requirement. It is believed that some cheese is so expensive that cheese producers secure them in lockers.
If you are bored eating the same old pasta or pizza, you can try some of the authentic Italian dishes like Risotto, Polenta, Ribollita, Lasagna, Fiorentina Steak, Bottarga, Ossobuco, Carbonara, Focaccia, Arancini and Supplì. Another item which Italians love to relish every morning is a good cup of Italian Coffee. Once you taste a freshly brewed cup of Italian Coffee, you might not visit Starbucks ever again. Authentic Italian food is made with heart and soul, so go find a restaurant where you can relish Italian cuisine in your city.

it's lunch time. i'm starving. i eat healthy. it's raining. working in city hall there are plenty of options above-ground for some relatively inexpensive protein and greens. but when it's pouring, the last thing i want to do is traipse around in my heels and pencil skirt. so i opt for the urine-filled tunnels of philadelphia's underground. my go-to sub-terrain lunch spot is the salad joint in the comcast center where you can make your own giant salad for about $7. but the line was out the door because everyone had the same idea as me. so i looked across the way at dibruno's open-aired refrigerator with plastic containers of anything you could want that's mostly organic, vegan, and/or uber-healthy marked up about 75% over market value. $6 for a 1/4 cup of quinoa? go f*%# yourself. side note: is it just me or does that place just make you want to steal? anyway, i looked over all the overpriced bougie crap and selected a spinach salad, veggie pad thai, and a san pellegrino. the san pelligrino was merely a joke i was playing on myself for actually purchasing all of these items. even when i checked out at the register i felt like a douche to the cashier. i bet he was swiping my card for $16 and thinking, "what a white collar douchebag.." when i opened my plastic containers i found half-wilted spinach and the pad thai was just noodles with 3 tofu cubes and a tablespoon of peanuts. ok, i know they didn't "make" this crap, but still... $16?? i'll stick with the salad stand from now on, thank you.

Again I was wandering around trying to decide what I wanted for dinner... something different is what I wanted. I hadn't been to the Comcast Center so I checked it out and ultimately I ended up at Di Bruno Bros. I got a buy one get one free deal on paninis. I think paninis are overpriced across the board so I don't buy them from anywhere, but hey this was my time. It was pretty good. I still didn't think it was worth $7-8, but for 2 I can live with that. Di Bruno has an interesting selection of "everything." I bought a large bottle of imported tea... it looked akin to Mr. Clean. It tasted a little weak, but eh it satisfied my sometimes unrelenting thirst. I really wanted to get some sweets, but the bill can add up so quickly I showed restraint. Again, it was the end of the day and that stuff was probably on it's way out. I don't do much business in the area, but it's certainly a step up from the Liberty Place. There's a certain level of understated class and exclusivity about the Comcast Center's eatery. Will I be back? Perhaps. I've yet to try that bakery. By the way, Di Bruno's Abbruzze cheese spread is like a magic bullet for home made wraps. I'm definitely leaving out with one next time I go.

Great neighborhood place. Wonderful cheese selection if you like cheese (just remembered I've been carting around a piece of got there in my cargo pocket). Just tried the Ewephoria Sheeps milk cheese...very very good. A little pricy, but all in all an experience and great vibe in here.
(4)Dave T.
This place is awful. Very disorganized, but the worst part is the food. I was a little shocked to find that the sandwiches were all pre-made. But I figured, ok, I'll try it anyway. I bought an italian hoagie for $8 and honestly, it was the worst sandwich I've ever had. The bread was stale and not fresh. It had the taste of bread that has been refrigerated to try and keep it fresh. There were about 3 pieces of meat on the sandwich and cheese that was not sharp, even though it said it was. Awful quality and waste of money.
(1)Caroline V.
There's always a long line but Di Bruno's is always top choice. The line's worth it!!! Nice spot to grab a "quick" lunch (you'll eat it quickly...but u'll wait/work for it). Seats are hard to find too so if you need to sit down...come with other people and have a game plan...secure seats and then disperse to get food...of course always making sure 1 person stays behind as gatekeeper.
(4)Stephanie M.
I visit DiBruno's every time I am in Philly and it never disappoints. I've had the subs, and the premade meals. I've eaten their free cheese samples and purchase slices of pound cake for the road. The best thing I ever purchased here was a milk chocolate bacon bar. Yup it's exactly what it sounds like a candy bar with bacon in it. Yummy! The only downside is it is expensive. You could never do all your grocery shopping at DiBruno's. It's more a specialty item kind of place.
(4)Sadie W.
I love this place to bits and pieces. Upon entering the cheese cave I always feel like I've died and gone to heaven. They are not stingy here either with letting you sample the cheeses, so you can be sure you're making the right cheese investment. Also, the staff is very educated on the products they sell. I love hearing all about the cheese I'm about to sample. I always make sure to pick up some meats, gnocchi, cheese, olives, pate, and crackers. One thing I really was looking forward to was a good selection of mushrooms, but I was utterly disappointed by the small produce selection. Also, there is a cafe upstairs, but I never bothered to check it out because I'm usually floored by my bill already, so i always figure I'll skip out on my helping of insult to financial injury. Be prepared to spend money for quality goods. Also, the meats & seafood are so nice and fresh here. I never leave without fresh sausages and some nice tenderloin. I'd say I'm overdue for my next visit to DiBruno Bros.!
(5)Jackie D.
Chicken Lasagna and Mash Potato just awful. I should say I purchased from the take and go display. A slice of Lasagna cost $12.00. Shameful. Quick dinner = Quick disappointment at DiBruno Bros!

Most places have to REALLY piss me off to earn a one-star review. Mind you, diBruno's has NOT really pissed me off, they just do *so* many things in piss-poor fashion. I found myself subtracting a star for this, a star for that, and finally I'm just left realizing I do not like this place at all, for the sum of its mismanaged parts, and I have no more stars to give. One and a half stars lost for my putting $1 in your tip jar, and then finding out you did not prepare my bagel for me. Butter packets, a flimsy knife (not conducive to spreading ice cold butter at ALL) and a bagel in a bag? Uhm, why did I put a dollar in your tip jar for a $1.25 bagel??? I specifically buy bagels out rather than prepare them in my home for this convenience alone. I have an aversion to getting my hands all greasy preparing a bagel while I'm trying to shoulder my bags and not have my scarf swoop through messy foil butter packets. Butter my damn bagel, please!!! Another 1.5 star removal for pre-prepared sandwiches. Bread gets soggy, OK? And I like stuff freshly prepared, especially if I'm paying diBruno prices for it. I specifically ordered my caprese sandwich on sesame bread because I saw that combination was not in the pre-prepared sad stack. They merely took (wasted) one of the pre-prepared sandwiches, moved its fillings to the sesame bread, grilled it (aaaah! I didn't want it heated!) and handed it to me. Other times I've asked if they can prepare one fresh, and they look at me like I have two heads before telling me they don't have mozz to do that with. Uhm, hello, you are an Italian cheese shop. You don't have a ball of fresh mozz in the place?! The sandwich prep area sucks for ordering. I never know where to go. I stand on one side of the glass, no one acknowledges me. I stand on the other side, no one acknowledges me. Once they do get around to waiting on customers they are friendly, but it's like they don't realize I'm standing there waiting to order for several minutes with no one in front of me. I am not the most patient person in the world; diBruno has missed out on many an order from me because I get fed up and go somewhere else for a bagel or sandwich. It's a huge space, very spread out. I really dislike the layout. Sometimes I'll place an order and then wander as I wait, just to find something I never knew they carried that I'd rather eat. Darn. My hometown (Rockville MD) used to have this fantastic little Italian deli (Vignola) with quality merchandise and a bangin caprese sub. I need a place to replace them with, but diBruno does not make the cut. This place has got a lot of work to do, in my opinion. You serve expensive sandwiches; prepare them fresh. I thought diBruno was supposed to be an establishment of quality foods, not fast foods.
(1)Robert C.
The best place to go when shopping for an authentic Italian meal. The meat and cheeses are world class!!
(5)Richard F.
Food was okay. Service is remarkably slow, as has been mentioned, and I wasn't even there during a lunch rush (3:50pm). I was surprised that the Pumped Up Pastrami wasn't heated all the way through; the bread was hot, but the inside was cold and kinda gross. The broccoli rabe was very good, and they have an excellent selection of pastries. I also really enjoyed their drink selection. The place is pretty clean and well-organised. If you're waiting for the train, this is likely your best option. I was just hoping for more.
(3)Wes N.
This place isn't good enough to be such a mess. Yes, the food is delicious. But even when it's not the lunch rush, it's chaos. And why do they give you a sticker to hold onto while you wait for someone else's sandwich? I've given it three chances. The first two, I received someone else's order. The last, I waited more than ten minutes to find out someone else had taken my order, and they were now all out. Like a lot of corporate hot spots, this place banks on the sheer chaos that embodies not just DiBruno Brothers, but the entire food court. Why do a good job if your customers are consultants from Houston you'll never see again? Two stars for food and friendly, but get your act together.
(2)Elliot P.
I wasn't particularly impressed with this joint. The main point of contention was the service, really. I stopped by in the morning to pick up breakfast on my way to work. There is an area for "grab and go" and there is an area to order food to be made. So I stroll over to the area where the food is to be made, and there are three schmucks just hanging out behind the counter. So I figure that I should get in line and order from the cashier. So I wait in line only to be told to go over to the schmucks to order there. Great. So I go and order and they are just slooooow. Just two minutes they tell me. Hah if it was only two minutes. If it all wasn't pre-made, I wouldn't be annoyed. But it was and all they had to do was assemble my wrap. Just annoyed me as i had to wait in line again to pay. I just had a similar experience like this in this neighborhood. I don't get it. Plus there's some corporate executive jerk who's blocking the exit. While not the fault of the management's, it wouldn't happen if the layout was designed to bottleneck the entrance/exit. Although at that point I was so miffed, I would have been annoyed with just about anything. When I got into work and tasted the breakfast wrap, it was delicious. I instantly understood why this place was so successful and renown. I had the ultimate breakfast wrap which was a fritatta with spinach and mushrooms along with some breakfast meat (prosciutto I believe) slathered with either a marscapone or ricotta on a grilled tortilla. It was great, I only wish there was more of it! I would definitely like to try more things here, hopefully with a staff that isn't awful.

This used to be my only go-to of in the city to get fresh cut meats, olives and cheeses in the Italian market. Then, they opened a location downtown and the prices continued to skyrocket. With so many other competitors now, it seems a bit absurd to pay the kind of price they're asking for.
(3)Roswell Einstein M.
Great lunch stop. Was here for a conference and happened upon this place for lunch. I dont like large crowds which is my criticism. The caprese sandwich was probably one of the best sandwiches I ever had... simple but really good.
(4)Von M.
As many other Yelpers have observed, the Comcast DiBruno's location is mighty convenient for grab and go prepared foods. I will add only that the meatballs and sauce are Mr. M's favorites and are a delicious time-saver. For prepared foods at the end of a long day and the convenience of close proximity to the Regional Rail lines, I am willing to pay a premium.
(4)Lin Y.
I'm staying at a hotel nearby and came in here for their "steel cut" oatmeal in the morning, not being able to make my own. When I opened and tasted it, it was most definitely not steel cut. It was made from rolled oats (and water). If the item on the menu says "steel cut oatmeal", then miss-selling a different item and not informing the customer is unacceptable. And at a price not justified by the quality or description of the item actually sold. The quality of my coffee did not improve on things either I'm afraid. The two stars are for the friendliness of the serving staff, which is appreciated. I used to love Di Bruno Brothers for their quality, but after several experiences with poor standards at this and their Chestnut Street location recently I feel obliged to write this negative review.
(2)Sara P.
This is a nice place under the Comcast. Today I met with a friend and some rowdy kids for breakfast before heading to the Franklin Institute. The staff accommodated us so well that they deserve five stars just for tolerance. I have not given five stars, however, because this location does not have enough diversity in its food options. That is, there are virtually no healthy options. Among its simple carbs, meat and cheese, DB must find room for vegetables and fruits. "Where's the fiber and micronutrients," I feel myself calling! The fine staff would be able to serve it, and your guests will feel better about eating at DB if we felt we were supporting something other than the already well subsidized cheese and meat market. So, conveniently located underground for poor weather dining option near the trains and Philadelphia museums; friendly employees eager to please; seating when it is not a regular work day and swamped by Center City employees. But limited options making it difficult to enjoy a healty meal.
(3)Karen F.
I stopped at DiBruno's on a whim at 7:45 AM for a (pricey) breakfast sandwich. COOKED TO ORDER. I had scrambled eggs (2), cheddar, spinach and tomato on an english muffin. Came to $4.49 with tax - yikes - but man was it good. An indulgence for sure - and you gotta wait several minutes - especially if there is a line (at 7:45 there wasn't) as they painstakingly prepare everyone's sandwich, omlette or oatmeal ONE at a time. Wow. A yuppy puppy brekkie for sure!
(4)Bob M.
This is DiBruno's location inside the "food court" area under the Comcast Center adjacent to Suburban Station. Though I haven't been to any of their other locations to really compare them, this location has a nice variety of meats, cheeses, prepared foods, and coffee & other drinks. Their constantly-changing cheese selection has turned me into a cheese-phile. They let you sample different cheeses so you can see what you like & what you don't. Their variety of prepared foods, although a bit pricey, has always been high quality, and prepared nicely. A good variety of veggies & other vegetarian foods, in addition to the meat & cheese based foods they have.
(4)Tamara B.
Not a bad place to grab a bite for lunch if you're in the Comcast Center area. Their sandwiches are good, the little side potato/pasta/whatever salad they throw in with their sandwiches is a nice little perk, but it's priced just a little too high for just a sandwich for me to give it anything other than 3 stars. The value just isn't there.
(3)Michael G.
Lo and behold, they had the exact brand of balsamic vinegar that I got as a gift from my brother who did not know that this store even existed! Bonus! Very nice gourmet market, with the gourmet prices to boot. It is better quality than most.
(4)Nick D.
In the food court of Comcast Center. They have most of the standard DiBruno's items (meats, cheeses, pastries, sandwiches, etc.) Everything is very good. DiBruno's can get pricey so be careful when loading up on the deli items.
(4)Rich W.
This location of Di Bruno Bros offers much of cheese, cured meats and Italian goods that can be found at the original 9th Street location but also adds quick service to go. If you're making your way through the maze of Central Station, the food court of Comcast Center offers a number of choices but for a true taste of Philly, Di Bruno is where you have to stop. Made to order sandwiches, prepared foods, salads and cold bottled drinks make for a perfect pit stop along your travels.
(4)Michelle C.
It's a good thing I don't work in the Comcast Center. I'd probably spend all my money at DiBruno and eat cheese and bread for lunch every day, rendering me into one of those people who wears the matching separates that barely pass as acceptable out-of-the-house clothes. You know the ones. While I didn't peruse the cheese and charcuterie section on my short visit yesterday, I did have a bangin' iced coffee with a shot of chocolate syrup. Delish!
(4)Kristen G.
'Tis a rare weekday that I don't make a slight detour through the Comcast Center, only to hit up this smaller DiBruno's location. Even if it's just to browse, I always find myself there on my way to the train. And, if my train is late (which it almost always is), I stay a bit longer to browse, contemplate bringing home some prepared goodies for dinner, or peruse the cheese section and chat it up with Joe, the best darn cheese guy in the city, if you ask me. Joe is the main reason I frequent the smaller location more often than the Rittenhouse store (not that you can't find me there on a weekly basis during my lunch break!). Joe is personable, knowledgeable and he almost always remembers not only your name, but your cheese-related preferences! He will always make the time to let you sample and will give great advice on serving accompaniments, pairings and just general cheese know-how! He has a passion for cheese and it shows! If you have a few moments during your commute and are in need of cheese (which I almost always am!), stop by and see Joe!

I would've given them 4 stars if it weren't for the experience I had this morning. I used to come here all the time when I worked downtown right across the street. Di Bruno's was my go to place for quick healthy lunch, and easy dinner to just reheat and I love stopping here for breakfast because 2 eggs any style was just $2.99, great deal. I still come through this train station almost daily so I still occasionally stop for breakfast or dinner. Normally I have a pretty good experience but not today. I know the difference between scrambled eggs & an omelette but apparently the cook today had a different opinion. And instead of giving me, the customer, what I requested and paid the now $6 for, 2 eggs and sausage, he went back and forth with me over not being able to do what I wanted which was just to scramble my eggs and not have an omelette. Guess the customer isn't always right and I wish the normal morning cook would've been there. Then at least I have a breakfast I was happy with after paying more than normal.
(3)John L.
Serious? Jamon Iberico - Aged Mountain Ham for 24.99?!!!! I mean guys if you don't enjoy that there is something you need to do about that. I'm not talking 2 days at the family shrink. NO, I'm talking full on 24/7 electrical shock treatment, and overload on so many pills that you alone make up for GSK's quarterly earnings. Link: dibruno.com/jamon-iberic…

So I was in Philly with someone I didn't know, and we only had twenty minutes. Wait, that didn't sound right, did it? Take two. I was on a business trip in Philadelphia visiting clients with the regional sales manager with whom I've spoken only over the phone. Now that didn't sound as prurient, did it? Good. Y'see, I'm from San Francisco, and I was tagging along on his appointments. It was completely vertical, OK? He was rightfully proud to show off the new, state-of-the-art Comcast Experience HD Video Wall at where else?...the Comcast Center. We were so mesmerized by the moving images that we had realized we needed to grab lunch before our next meeting. Now what "lunch" means to a salesperson is stepping away to make more prospect calls while letting me loose in the marketplace downstairs with way too many choices to process in my preoccupied mind. I went to the Di Bruno Bros. counter because they had the longest line, which I realize seems counterintuitive given the time constraints. However, quality still matters, and that many Philly folks in a line can't be wrong, right? They weren't. I had a really good Pulled Pork Sandwich for about $12, very meaty but somehow melty at the same time and all between two slices of freshly baked challah. Now I couldn't tell you it was the best pulled pork sandwich in the city since it was the only one I had in Philadelphia. But hey, it's gotta be up there, don't you think? Well, the Comcast marketplace offers quite a selection of eateries, but I think I made the right choice with an only-in-Philly sammie. FOOD - 4 stars...meaty but melty...how could that be wrong? AMBIANCE - 3.5 stars...well, it's a food court after all...but a clean new one SERVICE - 3 stars...they make it right in front of you, thus the line TOTAL - 4 stars...Yo, Adrian...this here is a good sandwich
(4)Brittany C.
Vince made me an amazing omlette and even had suggestions based on what I was drinking and some of my preferences. It came out delicious and it was fast. Not even ten minutes later I was finished and on my way to work. Definitely going back.
(5)Jon D.
DiBruno Bros is a block up from my apartment, and lucky for them, I'm willing to get ripped off for the sake of my laziness. At the same time though, everything here is awesome and there is quite the selection of good, quality food...and Orangina. This place has much of what you would expect in a market (and for this stuff, you can get it at other places for 1/16 the price), but it's gourmet selection, huge variety of prepared food, tons o' cheeses and meats, etc. makes it a place worth coming to, and subsequently spending an arm and a leg on three few items. Rotisserie chickens are good, brownies and mini cakes are awesome, homemade pepperoni is great. For a prepared dish, try the Pasta Carmella- it's kind of like a pink vodka sauce, but with spinach, red bell peppers, smoked gouda, sriracha chili sauce and a few others things that I'm too hungry to remember at the moment.
(4)Tina M.
Nice selection. Yum. I wish we had these on the W. Coast. I'd jump for joy! The only "nice" places we can buy food at are Whole Foods and Bristol Farms. *Sigh* Their actual meals are pretty good, unless they've been sitting out for a while, then it is depressing. Loved it though!! I loved all the random desserts, sauces, cheeses, cured meats, etc that you could get!
(5)Rachel F.
Awesome roast pork sandwiches! Just make sure to bring extra gum and breath mints as it is HEAVY on the garlic. Love the location since I work right upstairs. Definitely can get pricey, but they're not stingy on the portions.
(4)Paul B.
I love their variety of cheese, olives, jams, and jellies. Their desserts are not bad either. It is great that they let you taste the wares before you buy their numerous cheeses.
(4)Wendy W.
Just give them a call and reserve a delicious roasted whole chicken for only$6.99 every Monday! I'm so lucky they open one at Comcast building and our dinner for every Monday is then roasted whole chicken. :)
(5)Mike H.
Anna the cheesemonger was extremely helpful. Great selection of cheeses, let me taste all, ended up with four different types.
