About

Skip the traditional formal affairs and treat your guests to an effortless, food-forward celebration!
Di Bruno Bros. Private Events offers unique, turnkey spaces for relaxed engagement parties, showers of all varieties, casual rehearsal mixers, welcome parties, post-wedding gatherings, and much more -

Our spaces operate exclusively as stationary grazing venues. We do not offer passed hors d'oeuvres, seated multi-course plated dinners, or custom event production. Instead, we provide a sophisticated, open-house atmosphere where our legendary culinary stations, artisanal cheese and charcuterie boards, and premium wine and beer pairings are set up for guests to enjoy at their own pace.

Choose your evening venue experience across our iconic Center City and Italian Market locations:

1. Alimentari (Rittenhouse Square — 2nd Floor): A chic, European-style wine bar and loft space overlooking Chestnut Street. Complete with an elegant marble bar and a cozy lounge layout, Alimentari is the premier destination for effortless cocktail-style mixers, self-serve grazing receptions, and casual family gatherings.

2. After-Hours at the Flagship (Rittenhouse Square — Main Floor): Transform our sprawling Center City flagship store into your own exclusive evening playground. Once the doors close to the public, guests can browse and mingle throughout the shop.

3. The Historic 9th Street Market Experience (Italian Market): Step into the authentic soul of Philadelphia with an after-hours buyout of our original 9th Street storefront and Bottle Shop. This intimate, historic space is ideal for rustic evening wine and cheese tastings surrounded by decades of culinary tradition.

Services Offered
To keep your planning simple, all events are hosted as turnkey packages using our existing lounge furniture, bar setups, and curated menu boards. Because we are not a full-service banquet facility, we specialize strictly in stationary grazing boards, self-serve culinary tables, and bar service managed by our store hospitality team.

Best Wedding Food

Having great food at our wedding was very important to us, and Di Bruno really delivered! We didn’t want good “wedding food”, we wanted great food, period! We worked with Gabi who was fantastic throughout the entire process. We had a lot of folks with food intolerances/allergies (myself included) and they were super responsive and great at handling any/all questions on that front. They were also flexible in allowing us to deviate from the norm to offer two vegetarian mains instead of the typical one. All our guests were super impressed and commented on how good the food was! Definitely a success in my book. :)

Philly Summer Micro Wedding

Amy and her team did a phenomenal job for our micro wedding in August 2020 at the Hill-Physick House! We and all our guests were absolutely blown away by the delicious food and the incredible service! After having to change course for a second time due to social gathering restrictions, Amy guided us effortlessly through replanning our reception in just a month’s time. From our initial emails all the way to the tasting, we felt completely at ease with Amy and her team. We just provided some ideas for our vision and they created the wedding of our dreams! We would definitely recommend DiBruno Bros. to anybody planning a wedding in the Philadelphia area!

Wedding Cheese Cake

Di Bruno Bros. made my wedding dreams become reality. I wanted a wedding cake made out of cheese and this company curated a masterpiece! I fell in love instantly.

After hours is the only way to go

We do Di Brunos after hours annually... so we decided we would use this years event to get engaged. The staff David, Tommy and Scottie were awesome, amazing and fed us well. They took care of us.... if you haven't done after hours I highly recommend it.

The perfect caterer for our Philly wedding

Di Bruno's was the perfect fit for our September Philly wedding with their mix of brilliant traditional Italian foods and funky twists on local classics. Our venue (Powel House, also amazing) had a short list of catering options and Di Bruno's was not only our favorite food but one of the more reasonably priced choices among the options we had. 

We worked with Amy who helped guide us through the difficult selection process and build a menu that our guests are still raving about weeks later. The Di Bruno's team on-site at our wedding was incredible. Not only did every dish come out even better than our tastings, they happily engaged with our guests and enjoyed being a part of the party, explaining how they cook a number of the favorite dishes to our inquisitive foodie friends and family. 

While everything was great, the biggest highlights were the Danny and Joe's Antipasti, the Cheesesteak Calzones, and the unbelievable Cacio E Pepe, fettuccine spun in a hollowed out wheel of parmesan cheese.
We aren't huge cake people so we had fresh made pizzelles and cannoli for dessert, both were also huge hits and fun interactive desserts that our guests loved.

We could not recommend Di Bruno Bros and Amy more!

Amazing, fun, quirky wedding reception venue - and delicious food

We absolutely LOVED our wedding reception at Di Bruno’s. We cannot recommend them highly enough.

The food was absolutely delicious; if you haven’t tried it before, just go eat it and see for yourself. Prices were reasonable. Venue was fun, upbeat, unique, down-to-earth and a perfect size and layout for our ~80 guests and small live band. Jackie, our Di Bruno’s coordinator, was extremely helpful and friendly throughout the entire planning process, and we had no problems planning it almost entirely remotely as we were out of Philly. BYOB was great and the staff at the reception were all helpful.

We treasure our memories from our wedding reception at Di Bruno's. Highly recommend the venue to couples looking for a unique space -- it’s a hidden gem.

DiBruno Brothers catered my engagement party this Summer and it was amazing! From the food to the service, I couldn’t recommend them enough. All of my guests were raving about the pâté and the gorgonzola. Thanks again, it was a night i’ll never forget!

We had DiBruno Bros cater our off-site 80 person wedding, and they were perfect! Jackie and Genevieve were our catering managers, and they were responsive, professional and flexible with what we needed. They provided amazing, fresh, delicious appetizers, dinner buffet and dessert for a very reasonable price with the Italian favorites package. They were accomodating for our guests with dietary restrictions, ensured that all of our decorations were set up before the wedding, and took care of every detail so we did not have to do anything ourselves. We would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a wedding caterer in the Philadelphia area- they are a Philadelphia institution for a reason!

DiBruno's catered our son's wedding in October 2017 and we can't say enough great things about the event. Everyone involved in setting up and serving the food were very professional and accommodating. The meatballs and pasta were outstanding. Guests were so pleased to see them actually being prepared at the reception. The beet and goat cheese ravioli were delicious as well as everything else they served. Would not hesitate to recommend them for your next event. Outstanding job.

We got married at Di Bruno Brothers Upstairs Cafe and truly cannot not say enough good things about Amy and her staff. Amy always very responsive and totally open to some of our less traditional plans. She worked in all the little details I saw on Pinterest, like a milk and cookies bar. The food was PHENOMENAL, we have received nonstop compliments on it when of course it was really all Amy and her team! Also for a center city wedding the value was incredible. We are so happy we picked Di Bruno Brothers for our special day, it was perfect!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
