Formaggio Kitchen

First time to the big Huron shop. Normally, I frequent the South End location. This place has a bit of everything it seems. Bakery, meats, fish, prepared foods, and of course, cheese!The cheese selection is bar none. Can't be beat , at least in Boston anyway. As others have noted, sundries are over priced. The selection of crackers is a little high brow imo. No inexpensive normal crackers.I got 2 cheeses, a diet root beer and a small box of crackers and it cost me $41 after tax. Foolishly, I did not get the receipt. The cheese were only $24 total, so how did I make up the difference? Root beer was $3 and the crackers were $7. Did she charge me for an ice pack? If so, how much? Shawmut Ave doesn't charge for ice. Maybe she made an error and I didn't catch it until later.Anyway, disappointing first experience. But, I'll go back and be sure to check the receipt before I leave.

They treat their neighbors like garbage. They installed an illegal smoker behind their property which gave me asthma for over a decade. They tell people they can park in your driveway. They lie to you if you have a complaint.They get your review removed if your review is critical.The store itself is overpriced and has limited selection, unlike the grocery store they replaced. The only positives I can think of is that they age their own cheese, and the servicepeople are polite. But that is also true for Wegman's. And you can buy a variety of aged cheeses from any gourmet market.

No bathroom for patrons. Cheese gal said for employees only I said can I get a job? She said " not in the next ten minutes " With an attitude and turned away.

I can't thank Formaggio Kitchen enough! I was looking for a French picnic experience as a gift to send to friends when I found Formaggio Kitchen online. I settled on the gift products and crossed my fingers. This gift was described by our friends as "exceptional in every way". That was the reaction I was hoping for! I highly recommend Formaggio Kitchen!!!

Quality selection of produce & beautiful flowers; knowledgeable, helpful employees. Unique in-house dishes to take home!

There are many things I like about Formaggio but their premade sandwiches are not on that list. The bread is often soggy. If it is a turkey or ham and cheese, there is barely any cheese on it, and mustard or condiment very skimpy. Just sub par sandwich for an above par price. Avoid . On the other hand, their hot entrees are very very good, but the prices are those of a sit down service restaurant.

It's so expensive here that I only tend to go when I have a gift card. The BBQ on Sundays in the summer is terrific. The bread is certainly better than what you'd typically find at a larger grocery store. On the whole though, I'm not sure the quality is high enough to justify the prices. For example, their premade sandwiches are neither tasty nor filling.Many of the staff are friendly and willing to help. Ocasionally you will encounter someone with a bit of an attitude though.

This place is fantastic. We love to go anytime we are in the area and always go a few days before any holiday to buy cheese and charcuterie for the family and friends before the main event. The product is world class, as good as it gets, and service is outstanding. We recommend this establishment for in person shopping or as a place to order from anywhere in the country.

I went in looking for a 2 to 3 pound wedge of 2-year Parmesan for a cheese display. Was told I had to choose from the smaller pre-cut slices on display. They had the cheese I wanted, but they absolutely refused to cut me a piece from the wheel. The counter person claimed the wheel was too cold and would crumble. First time in 20 years I have heard that excuse. Ordinarily, when I shop here I spend more than 30 minutes and $250 on cheese, salami, etc. Today, I walked out in 5 minutes with what Parmesan I absolutely needed and no other cheese. What happened to this place and its customer service? Inexcusable.

I bought a Babette Table Spicy Sopressata on July 1st 2023 that had an expiration of 07/07/2023. I had two bites of the Sopressata on the evening of July 1st and got violently sick to my stomach for about 9 hours. The meat tasted strongly of ammonia. I brought the remains back to Formaggio and spoke with two managers about it. Of course they were sorry and refunded my money, but I didn't get the impression that they cared much or that they had any controls in place to prevent it from happening to someone else. I would have excused it as a "one-off", but I got a bad case of food poisoning and when I purchased the item among others, another person shopping nearby spoke up to the workers behind the cheese counter and exclaimed that a bunch of yogurts in the dairy section had expired "Sell By Dates". I have lived in the vicinity of Formaggio Kitchen for over 40 years and it has always had exceptional foods. I was told by an employee that the group of Formaggio stores was purchased by a new owner as of the 1st of 2023. I will not shop there anymore as there are many alternatives in the area that I have frequented over the years with no issues, Whole Foods, Pemberton Farms and Wilson's Farms among others.Sincerely,Disappointed shopper
