     a variety of fruit and wine
    Chris G.

    Art runs a fantastic little shop in Belmont with a finely curated selection of foods. I have visited many times and gotten good recommendations on wine and other things. I really enjoy his collection of infused balsamic vinegars (the most recent one I bought was mango-some of the savory flavors are nice too) and infused olive oils. The flavors range from sweet to robust savory and I like almost all of them. Not to mention the nice collection of looseleaf tea (I had a nice toasted almond tea recently) and chocolates. He also has a great selection of crackers, snacks, dried fruits, nuts etc. anything you want to snack on. What's nice also is that if you are hosting a party or an event, you can find all kinds of classy appetizers and snacks to use. I also hosted and event here - a wine tasting and it went fabulously. Art recommended a wholesaler who is very knowledgeable about wines in France and we had a very nice time with my guests. Furthermore, Art helped me package a nice gift idea for all the guests that just went over so well. I would highly recommend going here if you feel like having a snack and have no idea what you want and would like a recommendation. Or if you're looking for a decent one or now a selection of high-end beers. Don't forget to sample the infused vinegars and olive oils!

    Delicious!

    3) They have a wall of oils and vinegars, mostly infused olive oils and flavored balsamic vinegars, but there are some other nut oils as well.

    I have been to this store numerous times. I love their selection of olive oils. I don't think…read morethere's any better place in the greater Boston area for olive oil and greek yogurt. They import their olive oil from Greece. The ones I have had are fruity, slightly bitter, nutty, and slightly burns your throat when it goes down. Their homemade greek yogurt is so creamy and dense. It almost feels like you're are chewing on yogurt. Probably the best Greek yogurt I have had. I am also a fan of their meat pies; the crispy phyllo pastry and the well seasoned meat are addictive. The staff is always welcoming. They have helped me answer questions regarding which olive oil to buy. They have a lot of exotic meat, cheese (some even from Bulgaria), and grains selection. Honestly, I really like this place. Give them a visit.

    They don't tare the weight of the plastic containers when weighing their olives, which is against…read moreMassachusetts consumer protection law. The woman at the cash register justified the practice by saying the containers cost money. I will never return. Not taring the weight of the plastic container is doing the same thing as the butcher who puts his thumb on the scale when weighing your meat. Your large containers and covers weigh 4 ounces. At $3.99 / lb. for olives, you're charging an additional $1 per order for the container. If you should be charging more for your olives, then charge more, but don't put your automatic 4 ounce "thumb" on your scale to tack on that additional $1 from each customer. If you price your olives higher, people will see the price and decide whether to buy your product, or whether they should buy it from your competitor who charges more per pound but doesn't put their thumb on the scale. The woman I spoke with was an older woman at the register. I believe she identified herself as the owner. I assumed she was Sophia herself. I didn't ask for or remember her name. It's been over 15 years since I last stepped foot in your store. Don't worry about me returning. I posted only because you've opened a location near where I live now.

    I've been purchasing Fastachi for many years, excellent product. Visited the store today, was…read moredisappointed they no longer carry marzipan (tho still listed on website). Usually I take goods home w me but today wanted to order a gift for out of state delivery. Presume the quality of the gift will be nice as usual but the staff member acted as if she had better things to do. (It was not busy at the shop, only one other customer who was being taken care of), almost asked her if she was okay, came close to walking away without completing the order. Clearly, she dislikes her job and isn't interested in customer service. It's a bad look for Fastachi. We all have bad days but this person had a serious disregard for doing her job. Makes one hesitate to return.

    I love Fastachi products. However, I have had consistent problems ordering online. The only way I…read morehave been able to access orders has been to reach a person with a callback by phone. Now they have canceled that option ...no phone calls accepted/returned new policy! I made 5-6 efforts yesterday to place an order and the computer program just will not accept the information and keeps stating that I need "To follow the format,..." which I thought I was doing. I wrote to their website/email and no response. I would just forget Fastachi totally at this point, never attempt to order again, however I had discussed some options with a client who chose to receive treats from them. I don't understand why I cannot simply order online and have it go through. It has never been a possibility for me over perhaps five years trying yo order online. Never had such a problem with other vendors! They even identify on the website the l item I want, which is a variety of chocolate bark as requested by my client. But, when I double click on it, I get all the chocolate treats and I cannot find the bark. I'm very very disappointed and not sure how I will handle this. Such inconvenience and lack of customer support. They apparently have expanded their services to other stores and have what looks like a large corporate clientele. I cannot understand why they no longer accept phone calls when their system to place orders just does not work! I would love help with this particularly for this one situation and then I wouldn't bother them again and not purchase their wonderful treats as gifts. To me this seems like a very poor resolution of a problem that should not exist in 2025 with current communication possibilities via computers. I'm very upset and disappointed. Marcia Tritter
