Great small business with excellent staff. Love visiting this shop when Im in the downtown area. Excellent cheese selection. Luxe gourmet chocolates, specialty crackers, olives, nuts, boutique wine selection also available. Dont know what to pick? Ask the friendly staff, they make great recommendations! Pictured is a cheese plate for 2, to go. I took it with me to a local brewery, made a great night even better!

My wife and I found this place through a couples picnic adventure found on Eventbrite. Our 1st encounter was great, the young lady and guy were friendly explained the different cheeses we had in our sample box. We decided to go back with our kids to purchase more cheese.We see a different person at the counter. We are not cheese connoisseur, my wife ask if we could sample, the guy says no samples. Okay, no problem. He started to explain the different type of cheeses so we choose some of the same ones that was in our sample pack and a couple of different cheeses. I ask about a certain cheese and how can they slice it for sandwiches. He state this cheese is not meant for sandwiches. I understand he might have cheese knowledge but dont tell me what I am not to place my cheese on. We spend over $60 in cheese, my wife ask for 1 more pack of tongs because each person want their own. They lady state sure no problem but the guy say how about we do not I just purchase over $60 in cheese and you want to be stingy with your tongs! But end up giving us the tongs any way since my wife demanded to have another pair.We like the cheese but not the service that we received. We will not be going back but if their is another Scardello beside the one we went to we will revisit.

Best discovery we made right after they open. My husband started a tradition shortly thereafter. He goes to Scardello on Christmas Eve and chooses 4-5 cheeses and gets a bottle of wine. That’s our Christmas dinner.One Christmas he bought a soft cheese with a line of truffles in it. My very first encounter with truffles and it was instant love. One Christmas present this year for my husband was the Truffle Video Cheese talk with samples. It’s worth every dollar. The white wine went well with every cheese.Years ago we took a cheese tour out by Ft. Worth and met a bunch of goats and cows. Tim Love’s Lonesome Dove restaurant was our wonderful meal that day.

Their classes are awesome! Definitely call them about when they are having their next. Lots to learn but in a fun way. Plus, who doesnt like some wine and cheese while learning about it. 😁

A new favorite we discovered back in January. We did a cheese and wine pairing then and had a lot of fun and weve gone with some new cheeses. This time we signed up for a virtual cheese and honey tasting. We picked up our tray that afternoon and joined the event from our hotel room. We were not disappointed. The event was fun and informative. The presenters were very knowledgeable and their pairings were delicious! We plan to do more tastings with friends, virtual or otherwise. Thank you, Scardellos, for another great tasting!

We got the Cheese Plate To-Go and had nice evening at home with a wine of our choosing and it made for a lovely evening. We let the guys at Scardello know what we liked and let them choose the components to add. We will definitely do that again.

Love this place. Its always chill vs. Eatzis which gets hectic. The staff here are super knowledgeable and they have the best curated mix of cheese and meats perfect for a party or spoiling yourself at home with delectable cheeses. Choosing your cheese is almost as fun as consuming it later

Scardello is my second favorite cheesemonger behind Houston Dairymaids. Huge variety of cheese and a curated wine selection along with accoutrements to build a cheese plate. We attended a wine and cheese class and I would highly recommend any of their classes.

I have been to Scardellos twice with much time between visits, and it has been a consistent winner.Last time I went, I was there for lunch and had a cheese plate with Comté, a blue cheese, and a lovely triple cream. That was served with a generous helping of Marcona almonds, dried apricots, dried figs, dried cherries and slices of baguette. I also had a sandwich there that was prosciutto, fig jam and buratta that was also excellent.The store has a wide selection of cheese and the staff is very knowledgeable about them. In addition, the store also sells a number of artisanal chocolates, honeys, mustards, olive oils, pickles (peaches, grapes, and watermlon when I was there) and has a small selection of wine and other specialty beverages. There is parking out front and in back, and I have not had issues there either.

The wine/ beer pairings are amazing and the staff is very knowledgeable. Great way to meet new people over good food. Throughly enjoyed the atmosphere. Will come again to their Cheese 101 classes where you get to try out 17 distinct cheeses. Overall a great place e to be.

This place is a joy to go to. I like cheese, but Im a college student, so Ill usually get a bit of cheese from Tom Thumb every couple of weeks. But I make sure to make it to Scardellos once or twice a semester, because their cheeses are varied and delicious. Service is great; the employees are always very helpful and knowledgeable when it comes to picking cheeses, and they always seem happy to be there.

Every time I have a party, I get a cheese & charcuterie tray from here. Without fail, theres always someone who MUST know where I got it....its my secret hidden gem. Ill drive from Plano any day of the week to pick something up from here. Also, the truffle triple cream is TO DIE FOR.

Absolutely adore this place and we have been supporting them during pandemic by ordering over the phone. They are happy to walk you through cheeses & meats over the phone.

Awesome service! Cody went above and beyond- he took great care of me. I had the best charcuterie board- I had 1 or 2 requests and Cody took care of the rest. Wine and beer options cater to everyone’s pallet from full body wines, sweet wines, blends etc. Great place, great location and great service!

So I went to the bordello in the farmers market and it was amazing. My date and I did an extra credit wine and cheese tasting which I believe is held several Fridays and focuses on different wine and cheese pairings. For $20 each the selection and amount of cheese and wine was awesome. Its really more of a storefront in the farmers market but theres a selection of seating around the store so you can do the tastings and not be cramped. Rich and Rachel helped us out and they were awesome!

In regards to the location in the Farmers Market. The salad was good but you can get a lot more for your money elsewhere. Just a couple of booths down you can get two tacos, a bag of chips and large helping of guac for the same price as the small salad here. Maybe if it was appropriately labeled a side salad it wouldn’t of been such a disappointment.

One of our favorite places in Dallas. Choose your favorites yourself or have the cheesemongers choose for you. Irregardless, you will be delighted with how tasty it is. We like to go there and make up a tasting board. Its a fun and unique date idea. Cant wait to try a class!

Review №36

Great cheese, soft bread, and wonderful smells. Serving Oak Lawn, Uptown and Downtown Dallas Scardello is my go-to place when I want some good stinky cheese. When you walk in I would suggest talking to any of the associates about the cheese they recommend. I know what I like, but they will suggest something totally new that you might enjoy. They have sandwiches (but the cheese is the star), and great picnic baskets that have cheese, crackers, and fruit/nuts. Grab one of these picnics and head to the park; just call ahead to give them a heads up about 30 min before.

Wonderful! The staff were so knowledgeable and friendly! The cheese platter was amazing, they asked us what cheeses we liked and made a tray based on what we like and what they believed wed enjoy and then educated us on all of the cheeses. It was a great experience! They truly care about their patrons!

The BEST cheese monger in Dallas. There are so many wonderful cheeses in this store not to mention a decent selection of wines and beers. The also have several little epicurean items. They have a limited menu of sandwiches too. The best part of the shoppe are the wonderful classes. They have a wide assortment of classes all designed to teach the finer points of cheese and wine pairings. Not to mention the super cool staff.

Dont let outside appearances fool you; the shop next door is silly and unrelated.Scardello is absolutely outstanding!The staff is extremely knowledgeable, the prices are right for the product, and they let you drink the wine you buy at retail prices in the store!The cheese plate has a selection of (you guessed it) cheeses, dried fruit, roasted nuts, and a few slices of bread. Filling for two, enough for three! Combine that with the interesting (if not giant) wine selection, and youve got yourself a whole afternoon.Excellent service, inviting atmosphere, outstanding product. Check it out!

Food: 3Decor: 4Service: 4I came here with a couple friends simply because of the ridiculously good reviews.We parked in the residential area nearby and walked over. We were originally going to get a cheese plate (no set price, you just tell them your price range and what kind of cheeses you like), but we opted to just sample some cheese instead.The cheddar I had was decent, but the brie I had was really bitter. Still, if youre looking for a cheese shop in Dallas, this is the place to go.

Cozy place with an amazing variety of quality cheeses. Since were not cheese experts we let a knowledgeable cheesemonger select a variety charcuterie board for us, based on our tastes, with 5 cheeses, fruit, nuts and meat, plus two glasses of wine. Total came to about $50.00. There are also a variety of chocolates, jams, and other accompaniments.Parking is VERY limited.

Do you like Artisan Cheese (and paying for it)? This is the place for you. The place smells phenomenal. This review though is for the $8.50 chewy tough meat sandwich I had, the pickled Rueben: great flavors that was not helped with the rubbery meat inside. So sad, not worth the trip or hassle of parking. Should have had a cheese sandwich instead.

I highly recommend getting a cheese platter; tell the folks what you like & let them pick your cheese.+ high quality cheese & beverages+ ~50 cheeses of all ages, densities, milks & prices+ $15 for 3 cheese plate with dried fruit, crackers & almonds+ knowledgeable staff (we told him what we liked & he picked out 4 we loved)+ soothing environment+ Marco (our server) made us want to come back again & again- be prepared to spend some 💰 serious money (~$45/lb)- minimal seating (4 tables)

Okay, so I had to pick up an order for a postmates delivery, since I work as a courier. The customer basically orders through the app, and my supervisor calls in from an office, and I go in and pay for the order the order and deliver it to the customer. I had a particularly rude encounter with an employee named Bill Rotkis. He was incredibly disrespectful and bold. He was making the food for me, the cheese plates were hand made. He mentioned that he was not sure if he wanted the food delivered to another person on behalf of the company because he didnt know if the food was going to be presented in the right image. Ive had over 800 deliveries with Postmates, Favor, Grub Hub, Caviar etc. So the food would be in good hands. Then, after making the order, Bill cups his hands as to make a loudspeaker with them, and looking me square in the eyes yells Youre Black!. No one has ever done that to me before. Ive gone to red lobster, on the border, outback steakhouse, many, different restaurants, and nobody has ever been that blatantly racist to me. The man doesnt even know me. Terrible experience, and I will be calling the main office and filing a complaint.

My Mom was coming into town so I figured I would find some fun things to do with her. While she was in town, Scardellos had a Nothing but Cheddar class. 11 types of cheeses to taste, 4 half glasses of wine, 1 hour and 30 minutes, $40 per person. Figured it was the perfect Mother Daughter Night out.The Owner-He host the class, talks about the proper way to taste the cheese. Smell, Taste, See the cheese, etc. He was extremely knowledgeable about all the cheeses and seemed to have a lot of personal stories about the cheeses. The cheeses were from all over, Wisconsin, Texas, Arkansas, Europe and he visited the cheesery (is that even a word? the place where the cheese is made) and hand picked the ones he wanted in his shop.The Table-We were seated at a table of 8 people total. 3 other couples, so it is the perfect date night, friends gathering, mother/daughter, really any group of people could go. It was so fun! They also had sliced baguette on the table for everyone to munch on with their cheeses.The Cheeses-All of the cheeses were great! If I was pinning one against the other, yes I had a few favorites but I would be happy to have any of the cheeses again. We had soft cheddars, hard cheddars, white cheddars, yellow cheddar, and even a blue cheddar (YUM). The cheddar class is only once every 6 months, but I would happily go back and take the Cheese 101 class in the next month or so.Definitely check out these classes for Girls Night, Date Night, Mother/Daughter Night!
