PhillyVoice reached out to Di Bruno Bros. Thursday about the news, which was first reported on Philly.com, and here's what we learned:
• Alimentari is an Italian word that means "good food and camaraderie."
• The café will serve Roman-style square pizza, typically sold by weight. A new electric oven is arriving this week from Italy.
• Products featured in the store will be used in the upstairs café. From Di Bruno Bros.: "We often teach people how to use these incredible products and create pairings of their own, now we get to bring them to life upstairs."
• Di Bruno Bros. considers Alimentari its entry into the dining experience.
This is a developing story. Check back for updates as more details on Alimentari's opening are announced.
