I have shopped on 9th street my entire life. Claudio's is where we usually go for our oil and vinegar. I was just there Saturday and I have never been treated so RUDEly by two of the guys that were supposed to be waiting on people. My sister and I had to ASK for a sample of the cheese the woman next to us was buying and the man told us NO, that we had to wait until it was our turn. We promptly left and went to DeBruno Bros and couple of doors down and could not be more happy with the service. We spent $180 there. Your bad luck your rude people at Claudios.

hi all. i live in the philly suburbs and have shopped 9th street market many times. it can be a problematic with the crowds and parking etc. so when i go i like to buy lots of good things. many good stores here with fish, meats, cheeses, olives, oils, etc... 2 major cheese stores Claudio's and DiBruno Bros. with DoBrunio Bros getting my vote. I once purchased a 2 lb wedge of cheese from Claudio's and when I got home we sat down to enjoy some Reggiano and Parm with figs, I found the cheese was terrible. i called to claudios and complained-they told me to bring it back-with no apology and living an hour away, I threw it in the trash and never went back. DiBruno Bros. products are at least as good and the people there are much more customer friendly. Of those two, go to DiBruno Bros. and enjoy-a great place for foodies-yum
Pros: can be good
Cons: but has been below standard for quality and customer service
