We discovered this place through a Yelp event at another store the owners have, Spin the Bottle,…read moreand I'm so glad we did! We were immediately in cheese heaven. Hubby especially loved the artisan cheeses, so we went to get a couple of our favorites, the Port Wine Derby and Shropshire Blue. Mahfam greeted us and was super friendly as usual. Unfortunately they were out of both cheeses. She did have a small chunk of Shropshire Blue left though and gave it to us for free! Mahfam recommended a different cheese for us to try and it was excellent so we got half a pound. Hubby ended up loving her recommendation even more than the other two. Mahfam knows her cheese! They also offer gourmet charcuterie boards plus sandwiches and salads. This is just a very cool little place to discover new cheeses, and gourmet goodies and leave with something you didn't know you needed. We'll definitely be back to work our way through more of the cheese selection.

The Turkey was the star, roasted and seasoned well. Enjoyed the texture and it was moist not dry! The Swiss had a nice sharpness not too sharp. Shredded lettuce, nice thin tomato and thin sliced red onion gave a nice balance. I'm typically not a fan of Russian dressing so I ordered it on the side, but it was really good not to sweet nice tang. Pasta salad has great flavor they are not skimping on ingredients or dressing! Marinated well, seasoned just right. Good mix of cheese, pepperoni and veggies. I ordered through Uber Eats and needed to call the store to request the Russian dressing on the side. The person I spoke with was very nice and accommodating he even asked if there were any other changes I'd like! Great service! Yum yum get you some! I'll be back to try their plethora of options, definitely in rotation!

Despite my reservations, the new Cheese n Stuff kept its original charm with an updated interior and renewed commitment to sandwich excellence! I ordered a tuna sandwich and a doughboy at the counter. My order probably took about 7 minutes to prepare which I spent perusing the restaurant merch stand. While the sandwiches aren't aesthetically beautiful, the flavor packs a punch! Thoroughly enjoyed my experience and I'm appreciative that the new ownership didn't deviate too far from what made the original so special. Will definitely be coming back!

My best friend introduced me to Shea Cheese and I think I am now their biggest fan…read more I love cheese and supporting small businesses, so this was the perfect marriage. I have visited twice (so far!) and been thoroughly impressed. With my first visit, my bestie and I shared a two-person sized board with no meat, so maximum cheese. We were able to sample the cheeses before committing them to a spot on our board. The team at Shea Cheese paired our selections with other charcuterie items to make a perfect grazing board. We also spilt the turkey and brie sandwich. The sandwich was paired with the most delicious kettle chips as well. For my second visit, I went with the pizza grilled cheese (sans olives) and got a pimento cheese sandwich to go for my mother. We were both beyond pleased with our grub. Of note, right next door to Shea Cheese is Shea Lounge, which is a little bookstore and lounge to enjoy your cheesy items. I am beyond impressed by this spot and am already looking forward to my next visit.

So instead of preparing this year's charcuterie board myself, I splurged and had XOXO create a masterpiece instead... and it was a hit! The ordering on the website was easy enough and after some texting back and forth, I had clear direction on the pick-up time too. It was ready upon arrival and it was beautiful and extremely tasty. The board and all of the ingredients were high quality. Our guests were pleased and so was I! I ate leftovers for days after the holiday too as there was plenty of meats, cheeses, honey, fresh fruit, dry fruit, nuts and more... The board was indeed a masterpiece and it came with great little serving utensils as well. I highly recommend XOXO and look forward to using them again in the future!

From the deli selections and warm dishes to your overall experience. They want you to enjoy every last bite and interaction. My first experience with DeFalco's wasn't what I expected and I think it was because of the pesto sandwich that was overhyped online. However I shouldn't have been so quick to judge them off that one dish! The management team reached out right away and asked that I give them another go! And so I did!! We ordered two pizzas (Margherita and sausage) as well as their chicken pasta! Instantly obsessed and one of the best pizza I've had in Phoenix!! Thank you so much to the team at DeFalco's for caring for your customers and pouring love into the food and community!!

We each selected the $44 set meal that included a Caprese salad and bread, fried calamari, hot bruschetta ragu, Sicilian-style lasagna and, ta da, gelato for desert. The fresh mozzarella was so gorgeous we ordered 2 balls to takeaway. Hot bruschetta ragu was simply lovely bread topped with a meat ragu and melted mozzarella. Honestly, we've had better calamari and would prefer a marinara sauce versus what tasted like French fry sauce. The lasagna was delicious and the serving of such a size we happily brought some home. My partner ordered South Africa Dark chocolate and Reese's gelato whilst I ordered Madagascar vanilla and key lime gelato. Whilst Dolce Vita is a restaurant it felt and tasted as if we were eating at someone's home. The young staff were super attentive and very knowledgeable about all on offer. I highly recommend you give Dolce Vita a go!
