Our Retail Market

Philadelphia’s Italian Market, often referred to simply as 9th Street, has its origins as a marketplace in the later 19th and early 20th centuries. Italian immigrants began to move into the South Philadelphia area around 1884, when Antonio Palumbo began receiving "hundreds of Italian immigrants into his boardinghouse." Shops along 9th Street opened up shortly afterward to cater to the new Italian community and have remained in the area to this day, with many of the present vendors tracing the founding of their business back to the first decade of the 20th century.

Today, DiFabio's 9th Street Market and Catering Company brings the taste of South Philly to Media. You’ll find an extensive selection of all your favorite foods and deli items from the old neighborhood that you won’t find at the local supermarkets.
