No trip to Philadelphia is complete without a visit to the Italian Market and no visit to the market is complete without stepping into Fante's. Fante's is like Dehillerin in Paris--a cook's supply which has been around a long time, giving the impression of changelessness. The shelves are filled with every conceivable cooking implement, especially for bakers and lovers of Italian food and the collection of copper ware isn't too shabby either. I love this store and could easily spend hours perusing the shelves. The staff is knowledgable and friendly without being pushy. If you need help, they will gladly give it; otherwise they leave you to own devices. Inspiration is everywhere in this amazing shop.
