We’re from MD traveled to Philly for my father in laws funeral. We ordered catering 1 week ahead of time. Amy was absolutely amazing to work with. She was quick to respond and kept us updated on our order. Our food arrived HOT and on time! Everything was phenomenal & gave us such comfort during a tough time!

We used DiBruno's catering for our micro-wedding this summer. Since we downsized, we wanted something simple yet tasty. They were so helpful and the food was great (we ordered a mixed sandwich tray, with sides, salad and a dessert tray). Our guests were thrilled as everything was tasty and it was definitely better than a standard sandwich tray. They supplied everything to make serving easy. DiBruno's helped make our COVID wedding work wonderfully.

For our wedding. We love our meats and cheeses, so we got about 6 cheese and charcuterie boards.
Jenna stayed in contact with us throughout, offered suggestions and replacements when a certain product became unavailable. Rachel was also extremely helpful in processing our request. The delivery was spot on time, and allowed our guests to properly see what the choices were with an impressive display!

Di Bruno Bros. has a great reputation for their food. The sad thing is they lack on caring for the commissary facility. There is no awning or small signage to determine where the building is. At any point you have workers smoking outside, multiple trucks sitting, its unclear if its a pick up spot for patrons or for large businesses. They could keep a cleaner exterior, dress up the facade and show pride in their brand... after-all its the catering service and first impressions are important.

Used DiBruno Brothers full-service option this past weekend for a rehearsal dinner. They were fantastic.
Our cocktail hour was outside, and the passed hor'dourves (lamb lollipop, cheesesteak springrolls, goat cheese/honey crisp, and smoked salmon) were all not only top notch, but lovely to look at! They were served in quick succession and there was never a minute guests wanted for food.
They were great with the seated, plated meal indoors, too. I had two folks drop out last minute, one gluten free person, and a sudden addition - the caterer accomodated all of those things FLAWLESSLY. Also

In defense of Dibruno Brothers the people there and the service there is top notch. This is a rather small facility and has been here for 10 years most of the neighbors are very new with new development around dibruno Brothers the neighbors has been here for less than 4-2 years which I think there realtor should've explain that this business runs 20 hours a day, when people purchase their homes🙄. The very best food item from Dibruno Brothers is any cheese board or the Italian chicken parm or sausage and peppers sometimes the penne can be overcooked but everything you order is delicious and overpriced

My husband and I used DiBruno Bros. Catering & Events to cater our wedding this past weekend. From the second I reached out, until our event was over, we couldn't have been more happy with the customer service provided by Amy and the fabulous flavors of every item we purchased. Amy is fantastic at her job and it clearly shows! Every question we had was promptly answered and every suggestion we made was honored. Amy and her staff went out of their way to ensure that not only our food display looked phenomenal, but also decorated our fall themed wedding tables with the decorations we provided

I've used Di Bruno Bros. Catering twice so far this year. Their catering contact, Amy Howe, is amazing; she recently saved my bacon big time when I had a last minute catering emergency. Amy got in touch with me soon after I left her a message and we discussed my needs. Within hours she secured everything needed for my event, from bartenders to food to ice, and I had a proposal in my inbox.
Whether you need a simple (but beautiful!) cheese tray for snacks at a small event or a full on spread with catering staff to boot, Di Bruno Bros. has your back. They also work with a big list of venues

We've tried Di Bruno's Catering for two events (lunch and dinner) but the food has not been good. This is surprising, because I like the Di Bruno's store locations I've been to & expected a comparable level of quality from the catering. But, I was fooled by the name. The catering food is not good & it's overpriced (especially considering that some of it's quite bad).
FOOD
- Broccoli rabe was fine one time, but another time we ordered it, it was so tough and fibrous that it was difficult to chew.
- Sandwiches were edible but uninspired. Most were cold cuts
