I just visited Spirited Gourmet today to learn more about a program they participate in called "Too…read moreGood to Go." I was interested in this program as it is geared toward two noble goals: reducing food waste; and addressing food insecurity. I downloaded the app and purchased a "surprise package" online that had a retail value of $13.00 and cost me $4.27. The gentleman behind the food counter knew immediately what I meant when I mentioned the program and gave me my surprise bag containing two baguettes from Iggy's as well as a one pound of fresh, gluten free gnocchi (I had indicated that I was gluten free in the app). All items were within their freshness dates and the gnocchi were excellent. The employee who assisted me was both extremely courteous and knowledgeable about the program. I really want to commend both the Spirited Gourmet for participating in Too Good to Go as well as the program itself. I live in Belmont and because of this experience will certainly frequent this store-I hope you will as well! Thank you, Spirited Gourmet!

Besides wine, they also have other alcohol (sake, beer), a ton of cheeses, crackers, everything to assemble your own charcuterie board, including yuzu olive oil! I'll have to come back and try their deli counter, their grilled cheese sandwiches looked amazing.

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 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.

Who knew that there is a beautiful farm/market, walking distance from Fresh Pond? I was looking for…read morea different farm in Belmont, and accidentally discovered this gem. The market is small, the produce is fresh, and I'm assuming organic. It's cash only though, so be prepared. Price ranges from $3-$10 depending on the produce. It's also just a beautiful farm to walk through. They have sheep, chicken, ducks and im sure other animals roaming around. Farms are my happy place, so finding this place so close to Cambridge was exciting for me. Closed in the winter, but be sure to visit & buy local when the weather is nice again. Family owned, they had their kids helping out with bagging, etc. and were very accommodating in general (I had a few questions/requests!).

Easiest 5 stars ive ever given. We were here for a raclette and fondue class that was after hours,…read moreso we were able to shop with no one else in the store!! I loved the cheese. Staff was so kind and answered all of our questions. I left with many many things of cheese! We tried the cookies and chocolates, some premade goods, some shelf-stable things, and of course, cheese. My one complaint was that they did not heat up raclette for us, rather gave us raclette cheese at room temperature. I think it wouldn't have been too much to ask for it to be cooked, since they were able to do that with the fondue. I wish there was a way to do the class without the wine pairing and save a few dollars... I would sign up much more often!!

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

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.

Not sure what all the hype is about for this place! We ordered Thai fried rice, green curry and…read morefish cakes. Fish cakes were small and perfectly uniform - almost like they were frozen rather than prepared on site. Green curry had some spice but was mostly one note, there just wasn't much depth of flavor. Vegetables were all cut in huge hunks - both dishes had giant pieces of red bell peppers and onions. Fried rice was pretty bland and barely had any Chinese broccoli in it. Ambiance was bare bones - you order at the counter and they bring you your food and plastic side plates. Half the tables were stacked with boxes and bags of takeout orders. To top it off there's no bathroom, we were told to use the bathroom at another local business. If I'm gonna spend $60 somewhere, I expect to be able to wash my hands before eating and use the restroom. Perhaps there are some specialty dishes that we didn't try but this was my 2nd time ordering from here (I got take out once before) and both times the food was pretty bland. A truly underwhelming experience - especially when there are so many better restaurants in the area.
