Luk,
I can second the recommendation of Allegro. I visited there a few
years ago (upon Joe's recommendation) and it was well worth the trip
(it's not terribly close to Philadelphia, so it involves a day trip out
of town by car). One thing to keep in mind is that wine is sold in
Pennsylvania in state-run stores. Traditionally, they were awful and it
was difficult to find anything more interesting than Gallo or
Mouton-Cadet there, but it's (gradually) been changing for the better.
Your friend should look for a "specialty store" that has the better
selection, though I doubt that it will have anything that would be
cheaper than you could find in Italy.
