    Roasted Pepper Italiano
    Lilly J.

    The roasted pepper italiano hoagie is amazing. I had been craving an italian hoagie for so long and it was perfect. Sometimes when italian hoagies don't have any veggies it gets a little too salty for me, so the roasted pepper added on was *chef's kiss* The portion size is also great - a "half" size is about your average hoagie size (footlong?) and the whole is enough for 2 people to share, or a really, really, really hungry person. The cheesesteak was also solid and delicious. My out-of-towner friend said it tasted a lot more healthy than he was expecting a cheesesteak to be (I guess he was expecting a greasy mess?). He was also hilariously sassed by calling it a "Philly" cheesesteak. Overall would definitely recommend coming here for a great sandwich. Will need to try other items on the menu.

    Philly cheese steak (hoagie)

    Was on the hunt for a cheesesteak, didn't want to go too far from where I was, so landed on 'the fresh works'. Was able to order by phone quite easily, and my order was ready upon arrival. Cheesesteak Hoagie filling was flavorful and the the meat portion was the right amount. I didn't love the bread, as I tend to lean toward a tougher vessel for cheesesteak to avoid the inevitable soggy sandwich vibe. Did love the hot peppers that I asked for on the side. Super flavorful and probably the best I've had in Philly. It was almost like a minced jam but it packed a punch of heat and spice.

    Best wings I've had in a long time, fully cooked crunchy mild wings. Cheesesteak was great too but definitely would return for the wings.

    I found this place recently and I am never letting go. On a quiet side street, find your new solution to lunch sandwiches, cheesy appetizers, chicken wings, or really anything you might want. Delicious and affordable mega fries, amazing 2 foot hoagies, and the panzerotti was a delight as well. Roast pork sandwich and blt were my favorites.

    nice CS

    I drove by it because it sits sideways to Belgrade. Very tasty meat. Well priced. There were at least 6 Philadelphia police officers eating the whole time I was there. They were coming and going, very good sign. Very good standard cheesesteak.

    My parents and I were on the way back home to DC, and at the last minute we decided to find a Philly Cheesesteaks spot. My father quickly google searched the best in the area and he found The Fresh Works. I ordered the Philly Cheesesteak hoagie with provolone cheese, mayo, hot peppers, lettuce, and grilled onions. It was AMAZING! The roll was so fresh and you could taste the butter on it. There was a lot of meat on the sandwich and just enough toppings. We didn't even make it out of the parking lot. Honestly, I wish I would have gotten two so I could have it for lunch the next day. I can't get back to Philly fast enough to get another one.

    The hoagie was decent but for the price they should spend a bit more for the quality of their meat's.

    Di Bruno Bros on Chestnut Street in Rittenhouse has just about everything one needs. Within its…read morewalls is a butcher shop, a sushi stall, cheese market, desert and coffee counter, delicatessen, hot food bar, rotisserie chicken cabinet, appetizer refrigerator, fresh fish, vegetable aisle, wines of many colors and flavors, frozen food, as well as staples. I'm sure I left stuff out but you have to immerse yourself in it to love it as much as I do. I found that their lunch hero's and focaccia sandwiches are the best in the city for under 15USD each. Every employee is helpful and goes out of their way to make sure things go well. There are a few tables inside and outside to enjoy your meal and snacks. 5 stars!

    As someone visiting from Miami, I was immediately drawn to Di Bruno Bros. -- we just don't have…read moremany places like this back home! The store is absolutely beautiful and full of character. The incredible cheese selection, the curated Italian pastas, wines, and specialty foods -- it's a food lover's dream. I felt like a kid in a candy store, completely mesmerized by all the options. The staff was friendly, and everything looked so high-quality and well-presented. I was genuinely tempted to buy an assortment of cheeses to bring back home, and I still kind of regret not doing it. That said, I did have one experience that made me pause. Later that evening, as I walked by after closing hours, I peeked through the window to show my husband the shop I had visited earlier and I happened to see a few mice moving around inside the store. It was definitely unsettling to witness, especially after seeing all the exposed cheeses and displays earlier in the day. I completely understand that older city buildings (especially in places like Philly) have their challenges, and I'm sure this isn't unique to Di Bruno Bros. Still, as a customer, it did take away from the magic of my earlier visit. Overall, Di Bruno Bros. is a gorgeous and well-curated Italian market that I'd recommend visiting for its atmosphere and specialty goods but I hope management is able to address cleanliness concerns, because the store truly deserves to shine as brightly as its reputation.
