Cardullo’s Gourmet Shoppe

Cardullo’s Seaport shop is useful when you need something to bring to dinner and would rather arrive with cheese than another bottle chosen at random. The specialty grocer carries wine, chocolate, charcuterie and foods from overseas alongside products from New England makers. Its Harvard Square roots go back to 1950; this Boston location followed in 2018. Browse for a few things to eat together, ask for help choosing wine, or arrange a gift box when the occasion needs more than a last-minute snack. The shop also handles catering and corporate gifts. It is a food-shopping stop, with plenty of reasons to leave with more than you intended.
