What an adorable hidden gem! We have been wanting to come here, but they are open limited days and hours. Right now, just Wednesday, Thursday and Friday 5 to 7 PM. We came in on this Wednesday for the sips happy hour and it was wonderful. They have $7 cocktails and spritzes, $6 wine and $5 beer. Each had a couple drinks, the Hugo spritz, Limoncello lemon drop, had the Gruner Veltliner - all really good, We also had an order of the bruschetta, which was ok, and the arancini which was one of the best I've had! Creamy inside and delicious sauce. Love this place and will definitely return! read more

The vibes were great in here. It really feels like welcoming and fresh. The service was great. I went as the first stop on my Birthday happy hour crawl. My party had a great time. This place is great for large parties as you can order individually at the counter, and it's seat yourself. As I mentioned, it was my birthday and the employees working really made me feel spacial. They were so sweet the entire time we were there, and they were on top of everything the entire time. They even gave me a free glass of wine!! The food was lovely, and I'd know since we ordered everything off the HH food menu. Even though some of the items I didn't like, I could still tell the quality of the ingredients. The focaccia and polenta fries were my favorites!! They reasons this isn't a perfect five for me is because the HH menu is pretty limited. Also, I've tried to come to Alimentary before, and it just didn't work out. As in the restaurant wasn't available to the public due to a private party. Also, it's quite literally just an hour long and only runs during the week. read more

I am not sure why everyone rave about their hh. It's nothing to recommend or return for. I don't drink so this is for the underwhelming food and sleepy service. The place is nice and spacious but there was no one there on a Monday. The bar waitress seems bored the whole time we were there. Hh menu very limited. And not that good - polenta fries. My daughter liked it. 6 sticks of fries for $5 - fried artichoke. $5 Maybe 8 overly salty fried pieces. Nothing I would order again - bruschetta with white beans. $5 Overdressed. Didn't finish it. Don't recommend. Then ordered ceasar and chicken. Regular pricing like $19 I think. And what you would expect. Overall cannot believe this place gets 4.6 stars average. It's not anything to recommend. read more

Me and friends went for a semi-large group happy hour after work on a Tuesday. It was pretty empty, which was great for us to enjoy the space to chat and catch up without being crowded like other bars would be for happy hour. The drink and food specials for happy hour were very well priced (some $4 beers, $7 wine, $9 spritz and $5 snacks)! I enjoyed my spritz and beer, chips and focaccia. The employees were kind and gave us sharing plates and napkins, and allowed us to move some chairs around so our group could all sit together. Overall awesome place, I will definitely be back! read more

Came for Happy Hour which is offered M-F, 5-6 pm. There's a good selection of appetizers all for $5. Everything is vegetarian. Portion sizes were large for 2 people. We tried the artichoke, polenta fries, bruschetta and focaccia/ricotta. Everything was fresh, well seasoned and flavorful. Service was wonderful and the seating was cozy. read more

Came here for happy hour and I honestly really enjoyed it! The bartender was a super cool guy who gave lots of recommendations and was also open to making anything, even if it wasn't on the menu! We got some of the snacks as well, and I LOVED the polenta fries. It was surprisingly empty when I went but I enjoyed the atmosphere. A good place to go to catch up with a friend and just enjoy some drinks! read more

I usually stop into DiBruno's for groceries, but this time I was spending the afternoon around Rittenhouse, so I popped in for a quick bite. I got the pepperoni pizza, which had a nice crispy bottom. There was plenty of cafe and lounge style seating and the service was quick. If they didn't have a drink or bite on the menu, you could easily head downstairs to pick something up that suits your taste. For around $10, it was a good spot for a quick lunch with reliable quality you expect from DiBruno's. read more

What a great find!! Sitting on top of DiBruno Bros. Is an amazing restaurant serving al the lovely delicious food items sold before it. We started off with the cocoa with friend. No it doesn't mean drinking the delicious cocoa together but mixed with your choice of alcohol. I picked the amaretto which was an amazing combination of the rich chocolate and almond flavor topping with some of the best whipped cream I have had in a long time. We picked the extravaganza tray due to it offering the largest combination of meats, cheeses, fruit, nuts etc.... It was a perfect combination. Not matter how you sacked it it was an explosion of flavor. I could have sat there all day picking at each morsel offered. Mixing the meats and cheeses with the honey comb, mustard and cranberry chutney not to mention the pickled fruit, fig and cashews was unbelievable. Service was spot on!! This is not a place to miss. read more

So excited to finally check our Alimentari! The decor is always so beautiful especially around this time of the year. Last year, the top floor was only open for holiday gifts and drinks, but they've reopened recently serving drinks and food. We got the tomato soup and the grilled cheese, definitely some strong smelling cheese but sooo delicious. Wish the portions were a little larger, but still a delicious little snack for midday. read more

Finally was able to check out this place and it has a homey ambience. Either option of table, lounge or bar top seating to choose from. They serve brunch on the weekends and have a full bar. Fresh ingredients are used in all their plates- we opted with the burrata, Cacio e Pepe and calamari- all very delicious. Our sever was very pleasant and provided great service. Would easily return to try more options, especially their pizza! read more

Just had a baby shower here in the upstairs area and it was fantastic! The food was wonderful, so many lovely selections and all of the guests were commenting on how delicious everything was. Many of them went downstairs to buy products afterwards The setting & ambiance was lovely. Music and arrangements made for a social, chatty, relaxed environment and everyone had a great time. The coordinators, Beth & Michael, and the chef were great to work with and helped make the event a hit. The servers were also lovely Would highly recommend this for any sort of friends or family gathering. We were so happy with it read more

I arrived here 5 minutes before it opened. I was greeted by Mike who asked me to wait on the couch. The waiting area is very spacious and homy. Mike is very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. Panzanella salad: very delicious. It has shaved brussel sprouts, small diced purple carrots, raisins, hazelnuts, and croutons with light and not acidic dressing. It's a crunchy salad. I had small but I can easily finish the big one. Roasted branzino is served with pastina and capers. It's a little bit too salty because of the capers. The fish is perfectly cooked. Portion size isn't bog so it's perfect for lunch. Budino: rich chocolate but not overly sweet. Great way to end your meal. Service was excellent. Everyone was friendly, courteous, and welcoming. I had a delightful conversation with Mike. I feel I've known him for years. He accompanied me to the elevator because I had a heavy shopping cart. Definitely come back more often read more

This place just reopened a couple weeks ago, so ignore the old menu pictures! My friend and I really enjoyed the wines they had, and I enjoyed my spritz. Great happy hour prices, including some small bites. Nice, quiet ambiance upstairs. The bartender was very friendly and helpful. read more

Vibes: classy, minimalistic cafe with some organicity from wooden tones, small plants, and natural lighting Tasting notes: -Bread service: olive oil crostini was very crunchy and surprisingly flavorful; raisin walnut bread had a soft interior with a light chew and a good ratio of juicy raisin and slightly soft walnuts to bread; focaccia was savory, on the denser side with a slightly crisp exterior -Ricotta tartine: generous topping of speck that hid the soft slices of pear; loved the variety of textures and flavors; bread was perfect in thickness and toastiness -Mushroom panini: mushrooms were chewy and earthy; cheese provided the rich umami flavor, shallots added some sweetness and a subtle tang; side salad was a refreshing contrast tossed in the lightest of dressing -Braised lamb gnocchi: sauce was not too salty, provided most of the flavor for the dish; meat was very tender; gnocchi were pillow soft with rich creamy filling to contrast the intense flavor of the sauce Other thoughts: -Came right at 11am on a weekday for lunch, very small crowd when we arrived -Our server Justin was very thoughtful and attentive: he had every dish prepared for two to share -Food came out as it was prepared -Would come back for the mushroom panini, and to try a meat and cheese plate paired with drinks to get a fuller DiBruno dining experience! read more

I immediately loved this place. From the friendly service and terrific food to the welcoming space, it just had a great vibe. We were lucky enough to come during the weekday for an early lunch so it wasn't yet crowded. We were able to enjoy an unhurried meal and great conversation over a delicious charcuterie board. Highly recommended. read more

Interesting menu, small eatery above cool grocery/catering shop. Super sweet peeps! Will try again, deep fried lemons on artichoke hearts was crazy unique. Pizzas are amazing and single slice is a meal read more

Gorgeous spot for lunch any day of the week. I would say their "brunch" is just fully lunch as there are no eggs or breakfast foods available but that's okay! The Cacio e Pepe was fabulous and the meatballs were okay (a little dry/dense for my taste) but I'd definitely recommend this spot if you want to impress your coworkers or have a special lunch coming up read more

Super cute spot! Comfortable is definitely the right word for this place! Walk through di bruno bros to the stairs and you come to this quaint Cafe. Very European Italian vibe. They have a great cocktail menu and reasonably priced dining options. I ordered the burrata and heirloom tomatoe salad with prosciutto and it was delicious. The servers were friendly. The pizza looked AMAZING and you get two slices for $12! You can't beat that. Plan a lunch date here and grab a dessert on the way out! read more

Alimentari is what DiBruno Brother fans and those with a love of dining out needed in our lives. Upstairs at DiBrunos is a cafe complete with wine bar and table service. Expect a very cheese heavy menu. There are cheeseboards, meat/cheese combos and other appetizers inclusive of meat, cheese and veggies. There's a nice selection of pizza available in slices or full pies. Our group split a few meat, cheese, veggie combos- the Caprese and the Rittenhouse. The caprese was probably the best caprese salad I've ever had; there was an oil and salt that took the fresh veggies and cheese to the next level. I had to go for the house of grilled cheese and panuozzo Del Giorno- complete with pesto. There are so many options, which make it a great place for sharing, nibbling and sipping. Speaking of wine, they have a few options on tap. We didn't look at the bottle menu, but the decor was decked out with bottles, so I'd assume they have some good stuff. The craft beer selection was also solid if that fits your pairing mood. What's not to love about this set up? I can't think of a thing. read more

An excellent spot upstairs from from DiBruno Brothers, one my favorite shops in downtown Philadelphia. The area it's located in downtown is somewhat chaotic so this place is a nice reprieve from all of that. Staff was friendly and service was pretty good. They have a somewhat limited food and drink menu but I think just about anyone could find something here. I had a great cocktail. The have many pizza options, the "Spicy Soppressata" was excellent. Prices are reasonable. Definitely recommend checking out this place. read more

This is my favorite restaurant In Philadelphia where I can dress up or dress down. This week, I wore my Eagles jersey to lunch. I had my favorite salad in the world here - a harvest panzanella salad. My husband and I shared lamb gnocchi and a roasted branzino in small portions, but the price of these dishes is for a small potion- the restaurant prices fairly. The lamb was very good, but needed a little more favor for me. The branzino we get every single time. They have good specials, too. One time we had a delicious meatball sandwich. The waiter that we ask for is Mike. He provides valuable suggestions to us. The chefs behinds the counter are friendly, too. read more

Awesome spot that recently opened right above Di Bruno Bros in Center City. Finally got around to trying it and it was definitely worth the visit. The interior is really aesthetic and has a really laid back vibe. We only ordered a few light bites since it was an odd hour of the day, but everything we got was delicious (charcuterie board and pizza). The pizzas are more personal sized, but they're fairly priced and well made. Our server was also extremely knowledgeable about all of the food and took the time to explain everything that came on the board we ordered. If you're just stopping in for a casual bite I'd say get one of the pizzas and the affogato. The affogato comes with cotton candy on top, which then gets melted by the hot coffee poured over. Will definitely be back to try some of their main dishes soon! read more

Adorable new restaurant located above Di Bruno Bro's market! My sister took my boyfriend and I here for lunch since we were visiting from out of town. What grabbed my attention at first was the beautiful decor which screamed contemporary. The upstairs was spacious with an open bar. Our server was helpful and knowledgable of the menu. It did take some time for our food to come out but luckily we had complimentary bread to keep us distracted. Their bread was delicious and fresh! My boyfriend and sister both ordered soup and we also ordered a meat and cheese platter to share. If you know anything about me, you know I'm charcuterie board fanatic. I must say, this was the most thought-out, creative, and delicious board I've ever had. Oh my god, I would drop everything to go back to Philly and order this again. The soup on the other hand was just okay- nothing to write home about. Overall, Alimentari is a cute, cozy restaurant with a variety of meals to choose from. The service is excellent and food was delicious. I would definitely come here again! @dcfoodgod read more

I love what they did to the place. The decor is still casual but way more modern rustic, and much classier. This place has a great wine and cheese vibe, and the Roman style pizza is delicious. There are various seating areas of all sorts. I came here with my wife on a Saturday and we sat at the bar. They have about 20 stools at the wine bar. We got a glass of red each and shared the pizza sampler. I got the Malbec for $10. My wife got the Cabernet for $12. Both were delicious. The pizza sampler was delicious and quite filling for the both of us. The Margherita was surprising our favorite. The sauce was delicious. The ambience is really nice for a date, or a business meeting. Great lunch and happy hour spot too. read more

This place sounds like a Harry Potter spell. It was exactly what I expected; dibruno food served by a waiter. I think my favorite thing we got was the smoked salmon bruschetta. It was loaded with avocado and had a small kick to it. The cheeses were very good as well. We had no idea what we were doing so we asked for recommendations, and we were happy with them! The Caesar has gigantic leaves that aren't cut so you have to do it yourself. The pizza is super crispy so it's hard cut through to share! We made a VERY big mess of the pesto breadcrumbs from the eggplant parm pizza. Oops! read more

lovely spot for lunch in the city! super casual and great atmosphere to catch up with your crew! the menu has a variety of munchies and typically come in small plates. i tired the cauliflower, pizza, caesar salad and ricotta toast. i enjoyed almost everything but keep in mind they do offer smaller plates so it might not be enough to share. the only disappointing thing was the caesar salad which was not memorable nor was it enough to satisfy the lunch appetite lol the pizza was better than what i expected! i never knew di bruno bros is known for pizza? but that's a solid choice whether it's for lunch or dinner. i will def return for some light bites and maybe a glass of wine or cocktail. worth checking out if you haven't been yet! read more

A chic restaurant above a DiBruno's market. I went for Sunday brunch, and it was pretty quiet. The atmosphere was great, and the food was high quality (and reasonably priced!) However, the brunch menu had limited options. With more optionality, this would be a top brunch spot. read more

This place is Awesome!! I've had a good amount of charcuterie boards and this place left an impression with their exceptional bread and olive oil. The meats were also great, but the olive oil they used was where the real flavor came from. I was disappointed at first that our board lacked any sort of cheese; however, this disappointment quickly went away after the first bite. The ambience of the restaurant was nice, casual, and overall extremely positive. The eating area is also above a small market where you can buy all the meats and cheese you can ask for. I strongly recommend stopping by for a charcuterie board and grabbing a glass of wine when you're in the Philly area. read more

Wow the food here was really impressive. It is perfect for a nicer casual dinner where everyone can share a bunch of small plates. We really enjoyed the beet toast and the veggie side dishes. I absolutely loved the branzino. But the best part was definitely the gnocchi dish. It was the lightest and creamiest I have ever had, and it's worth coming here just for that dish. We didn't love the pizza sampler, seems the dough was a bit too thick so the proportion of flavors weren't there. This place also has the best donut holes ever, they were so light and fresh (not heavy or greasy like they usually are). Overall this was an awesome place for a nice light dinner full of flavor. read more

I stopped in here for lunch and was not disappointed. I arrived about 10 minutes before the kitchen opened, but they were happy to seat me anyway, letting me know that it would be a few minutes before they could take my order. I was perfectly fine with that, as I was able to take in the elegant decor, and had the opportunity to hear the chef describe the special to the staff. The menu has all the great things you expect from Di Bruno's, plus a few surprises. I noticed the Panuozzo del Giorno, which was described as being like a Campania-style flatbread pizza sandwich. While interesting, I was all set to order a slice or two of their Roman style pizza, but when I heard my server describe the specials, which I'd heard the chef talking about earlier, I decided to get the daily Panuozzo. It was a shaved ribeye steak, with caramelized onions, anchovy bechamel, fresh arugula, and alpine comte cheese with a basil pesto on the side. While I waited for my dish, a plate of breads was brought to my table, including the delicious crostini they sell by the bag downstairs. The service throughout my visit was excellent. My dish arrived quickly, and while not visually stunning, still checked all the aesthetic boxes I'd expected it to. It was the perfect lunch sized portion, and light eaters may find themselves with a little extra to bring home. The tastes were the highlight of the dish. The ribeye was perfectly cooked and shaved thin, the caramelized onions added a sweetness to the dish, while the anchovy bechamel helped elevate the dish to 5 stars. The comte cheese perfectly paired with the ingredients, and the arugula made the dish seem light, while adding an earthiness to it. Lastly, the basil pesto finished off the dish with a wonderful homey Italian flavor. The Panuozzo wasn't too heavy or greasy, and I left feeling full, but not stuffed. I'm looking forward to coming back with friends and trying more of their significant menu. With the opening of Alimentari, a block that already has amazing Italian food just got better. read more

Sooo good! We were visiting during the July 4th weekend from southern California and stopped in here for lunch on Sunday, July 3rd. We were seated in the restaurant, upstairs from the store. It was clean, cozy and quiet for my family of four. We ordered 2 balsamic chicken sandwiches, kids pizza, and a special hamburger panini. (see photos) Our food came out quickly. Everything was delicious and made with fresh ingredients especially the bread. The potato chips looked homemade and had shredded parmesan on them. Very tasty. My picky 11-year-old LOVED her kids pizza and said it was the best she ever had. Overall a really fun and authentic place to have lunch. read more

We also had the short rib pizza and the the mushroom panini. Short rib pizza could have had more flavor as it was a white pizza. The mushroom panini almost tasted like a grilled mushroom and onion cheese. Really good! Highly recommend! Comes with a small salad. Will be back! read more
