Wonderful Service, Wonderful Offerings – My partner and I were in Cambridge for a few days and decided to pop into Cardullo's to grab some snacks for our 6-hour train ride home. We were treated like very special guests and both women who helped us (Regrettably, I can't recall their names:I think one was Francesca, the other their wine steward) were charming and delightful and seemed truly tickled to help us pick our picnic treats for the ride home. We left positively charmed, armed for our trip with a gorgeous selection of w... read more
Horrible Gift Basket Service – I ordered a gift basket for a sick co-worker yesterday from Cardullo's, and she never got it! When I asked her how she liked the basket, she didn't know what I was talking about. When I called Cardullo's to ask what happened, the guy told me his courier service was too busy to send it out. I asked him why he didn't call me (I gave him my phone number for a reason) to at least let me know so I could order from somewhere else or at least know that she didn't get it so I don't seem like a flake as... read more
Good choices, bad service – To concur with the other reviews, every time I've been to Cardullos I have received attitude. Today was no different. The woman working the deli counter was her usual curtness. She was wearing gloves BTW. They are mean yes, but I have yet to see them act unhygenically. The sandwich I ordered was delicious and loaded with goodness. I also had a rude encounter with the woman working the register, but she apologized later. It seemed she mostly had an issue with the guest merchant in the store who was... read more
Extremely rude and arrogant staff!!! Serves without gloves! – Went in to buy a very specific cheese. I asked the staff whether the Stilton they carried was from particular area and the lady behind the counter yelled over me to another staff to ask to which he replied, "England!" Well, duh... I asked him what part of England, and he goes "Stilton!" (btw, none of the Stilton cheese are actually from Stilton, so obviously the staff don't even know what they're talking about!). After a lot of yelling from the two staff members, ... read more
Old stuff - Very rude – I bought some chocolate stuff and when I went home I discoreved that some of these items (two packages of small Ritter Sport bars) were expired so I went back to the shop to ask if they could change them with new ones. I was attacked with bad words by a man at the cashier (Arnie). He said that he doesnt' have any control on the expiration date of imported items and that the expiration date is just a European fixation. Americans don't have it and so at first he said he could not give me the money back ... read more
Awesome if you walk into the store... – ...but not if you're ordering a gift basket! Cardullo's won't leave baskets if the person isn't home (which I knew). So I asked if they could leave the basket with the other apartment (a business, so there's always someone there), and they said that wouldn't be a problem. Afterwards Cardullo's called to say that they couldn't deliver the basket because no one was home. When I asked about leaving it at the other apartment, they said they didn't have that note, but they'd deliver it ther... read more
Beloved Harvard Square gourmet store sells hard-to-find specialty foods from all over the globe. – The Scene This specialty shop, a Harvard Square staple for more than 50 years, presents its loyal clientele with a most overwhelming atmosphere--while the store's selection keeps expanding, the space doesn't (even the regulars bump into things).
