I just hosted an engagement party for my sister and my first idea was to have Scardello do the cheese and it was absolutely the right decision. People were really blown away by the unique cheese trays, it was so fun to turn something that is usually so standard and boring into something kind of adventurous and fun. That's not to say you have to be adventurous, after consulting with us they did some trays that wouldn't scare anyone off but were great while still having some trays with things like blue brie that I am in love with after tasting for the first time today. Overall they were incredibly accommodating, we told them how much and they helped us come up with a general plan (At my request, after my past experiences I trusted them and wanted to be surprised knowing I would not be disappointed in their judgement, we ended up saying "crowd pleasers", brie, adventurous) and they executed it perfectly. With their surprisingly affordable pricing and excellent execution I will absolutely use them again and tell anyone I know hosting an event what a outstanding addition Scardello's was to my party. read more

Excellent food combined with superior customer service wins every time! I ordered a charcuterie board to be delivered to my daughter for a party she was throwing for her friends. The day of the delivery, we received messages that the order had been cancelled. I panicked and called the location closest to her apartment. As it turns out, the online order had gone to the other location which had closed early due to impending civil unrest in the area. But, hearing of our plight, the wonderful gentleman on the other end of the line, offered to assemble something as a replacement if my daughter would use curbside pick-up, which we did. The spread was perfect and she has requested another one for another party she's throwing this weekend. I love repeating orders to attentive merchants like this one. read more

My husband and I did the cheese 101 class for my birthday and had a great time. The cheesemonger/owner is truly passionate about educating others. We learned so much and enjoyed the great company of our table-mates. I will definitely be back with friends and using scardello for my next get together. read more

For starters, what I like most about this place is the old school feel to it. Not so much the ascetics, rather it is someone with a passion, sets up shop, gets to know their craft and we the customers benefit as a result. Back to basics with no fluff. It was refreshing to have the person there be able to suggest cheeses based of preferences and not act like a snob nosed ass because you knew less about cheese. The person who was helping us put together a cheese plate for the lady and myself and to our great surprise, it was phenomenal. We had this bleu cheese from some little town in Texas and although it was really strong, it was easy to enjoy the cheese. Before I would never had tried a bleu cheese without some sort of filler or as an add-in to a dish. Indeed, all of the cheeses that were put together on the plate helped you understand what makes the good life all worthwhile. Its places like this. To anyone who wants to get out and do something both fun and different, I would highly suggest this place to fill that need. read more

Amazing variety of great, fresh cheese, plus the standard "supporting actors": great ham, breads... Simple, but great food.

Wow this place was great and if you are a cheese lover you will love this place. They have a ton of cheeses to choose from and I was a bit overwhelmed but no worries the owner and staff are great. They start by listening to your likes and dislikes and then recommend and let you sample a few according to your tastes.... I never knew cheese could be so complex... it reminds me of trying out new wines and finding out what your palates likes and why... I can't wait to go back and taste these wonderful cheeses. We ended up doing a cheese plate served with olives, almonds and baguette slices... and shared a bottle of wine. They serve wine by the glass or by the bottle... Wines by the bottle are also reasonable but its really about the cheese. The place is retail with lots of gourmet goodies and handful of tables... We loved it!! felt like something we'd walk into in NYC or Paris..... You have to go here if you love cheese!! Drew loved the cheese so much he was doing food repentance... I loved it so much I caught myself drooling, twice!!... its that good and I can't wait to come back and try more. read more

I flipping love this place!!! Not only do they have a plethora of amazing cheese, possibly one of the foods of the gods, but they are chock full of other delectable goodies. Assorted flavors of honey from the Savannah Bee Company? Got it. Rose petal confit and other interesting and delicious spreads? Got it. Rick's Pick's pickled veggies all the way from Brooklyn? Got it. Add in mind-blowing sandwiches, nice wine selection and a friendly, knowledgeable staff and you have one great food find. Dallas is extremely lucky to have Scardello. read more

We went to Cheese 101 last month and were very impressed! How can you not be, when they put somewhere around 20 cheeses on a board for you, with accompaniments and bread, and pour freely white and then red wines? We LOVE cheese and often make a meal of it, but usually choose it at Whole Foods or Central Market based on smell, price, description, color, anything but actual knowledge. After our class at Scardello, I now have some knowledge! Plus they have tons of different cheeses, and will cut ANY size piece you want, unlike the big stores where you might pick up half a pound of something you end up hating. Scardello also has chutneys and such and lots of cool wines to go with your cheese, plus the owners to help you pick and choose. A very cool place and I'm glad it's in my neighborhood...now I just have to ride my bike over there one day to justify the calories! read more

Excellent! The staff were so helpful and lovely! The cheese platter was awesome, they asked us what cheeses we liked and made a tray based on what we like and what they believed we'd enjoy and then educated us on all of the cheeses. It was a good experience! They truly care about their patrons! read more

I went there, I saw what they had, and guess what, they ran out of bread. Really dude?

Scardello is tucked away in an unassuming two story building off of Oaklawn in Uptown. It's easy to drive by and miss if you aren't specifically looking for it. But once found, you'll discover a treasure that takes you away from the pretentious hustle of Uptown. Once inside, you'll find a few tasting tables and walls of wine and cheese. I'm by no means an expert on cheese or wine, but that's why this place is perfect. The staff is very knowledgeable on both and will make recommendations based upon your preferences. My guest and I perused around by quickly found ourselves overwhelmed by the selection. We asked them to surprise us and they did so successfully. We had a cheese and fruit plate that had a variety of cheeses that were all delicious. I can't specifically recall all of them, but was pleased nonetheless. We paired it with a nice bottle of wine and enjoyed the next hour in conversation. Scardello is small, quaint, and unassuming. It has its own character and identity. It's obviously doing the right things and has quickly become a fan favorite (as indicated by it's reviews). I've never known about Scardello until I discovered it on Yelp (and that's considering I lived two blocks away from it for years). But I'm sure glad that I found this gem. It's a fun place to take a date and has become one of my "go to" spots when I'm in Dallas. read more

Omg. There is this guy and he is SUPER excited about cheese. This dude LOVES his job which makes me giddy. He can tell you all sorts of shit you never thought you would want to know. I'm unsure if I love Scardello's because I am crazy about cheese, or because the atmosphere is so warm. The entire staff is inviting and it feels like visiting friends. I have found the cheese prices to be reasonable and they are super accommodating with samples. For $10 I was able to sample 4 wines and 4 cheeses that were hand selected by someone way more knowledgeable than me. I appreciated the opportunity and I couldn't think of a better way to spend a Fall afternoon. read more

Very helpful staff that recommended 4 great cheeses, soft/hard so creamy and we also tried the manchego and pistachio pate. We also shared a bottle of wine and took our time, it was heavenly. Such a great deal and fun wine bar / cheese shop atmosphere. The spanish almonds were also a fave of mine! read more

Without a doubt one of the best cheese shops I've ever been in. There's a wide range of cheeses with a lot from farms in Texas which was kinda cool. In addition to cheese, you can pick up any of the other things (e.g., wine, beer, preserves, honey, crackers) that you'd need for a classy wine and cheese night. It's a great place for lunch, too--though the service isn't fast so don't come if you're in a hurry. You can get one of the sandwiches (in which case the Sweet Italian is excellent and the Mountaineer is a great variation on the traditional grilled cheese sandwich) but you could just as easily make a meal out of the cheese plate. It's just $5 plus the weight of the cheeses you want. Don't be afraid to ask for recommendations--they know their stuff! read more

Wonderful selection. Happy staff. Pricing is a little high. I would suggest sling them to pick a sample platter for you!

As far as I am aware there is no better place in Dallas to find serious cheeses. I love the atmosphere and the food. It is quite an experience if you have never been. read more

My boyfriend and I stumbled into Scardello on a house hunting trip to the Dallas area. I literally thought it was a deli, like order-a-sandwich-and-sit-down-for-10-minutes-to-eat-place. However, I could not have been more pleasantly surprised to find it to be more of a wine, cheese and chill place. We ordered a sandwich and salad AND a massive cheese plate to go with our wine. I don't think all of it was necessary, but it was all sooo good. We had so many amazing cheeses. The person who helped us was very helpful and wanted to make sure we got cheeses that we would enjoy. I really appreciated the level of service he provided. I'm kicking myself that I cant remember his name! Everything he suggested was delicious. I enjoyed all of the cheeses and the dried cherries, figs, honey, and almonds. It was a great experience! read more

Haven't actually eaten here, but I ordered the couples picnic basket for my husband's birthday. The guys behind the counter are SO nice and helpful in choosing cheeses. They put together a nice little package of 2 cheeses, bread, chutney and dried nuts/fruits. Makes for an easy, romantic picnic! read more

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 ruined with the rubbery meat inside. So sad, not worth the trip or hassle of parking. Should have had a cheese sandwich instead. read more

fun fun fun! my friend & I took a class, had a sandwich & bottle of wine on our first visit. we had a blast! can't wait til our next class. everyone that helped us was incredibly informative & helpful, as well as super friendly. the class is fun for a date night, girls night, or whatever! grab a buddy and sign up! you won't regret it! read more

Scardello - my cheese board for the italian class. the rosé was mine. they serve you red & white during the class. - Cheese Shops Near Me - Dallas, Texas

I wish there were more stars to give Scardello. The cheese selection is varied and extensive, the interior is warm and inviting. But the most stand-out feature of Scardello? The service. I have been several times & each time received personalized, caring help from everyone who worked there. These people are as knowledgeable as they are passionate about cheese. They really WANT to find THE cheese that will satisfy your unique palette (or in my case, craving du jour.) And like the other reviewers have said, this is not a snobby or intimidating, 'chi-chi' kind of place... rather, in the ocean of fad-following, restaurant-fickle, scene-to-be-seen culture of Dallas, Scardello is an oasis of down-to-earth cheese yumminess that would cater to fromage aficionados and Velveeta-lovers alike. Two thumbs (and two big toes) up! read more

hmm.. i thought i wrote a review about this cheese shop a while back.. anyways.. i went to one of their fondue nights a few months back and we had a wonderful time... the staff was really knowledgeable.. and it was great to kick back and enjoy some cheese.. i'm looking forward to trying out more of their classes read more

Hands down one of the best wine bar/cheese places i've been to for the service alone! Free samples, the guy was very knowledgeable about wine cheese combos as well as genuinely friendly to a picky cheese eating birthday girl. all for a fairly decent price too.... this is a must stop thru place for all you cheese and wine lovers! read more

This place is quite an experience. I went here for a girl's outing. We got amazing sandwiches and tried a cheese platter. Our waiter was awesome and went through a little description of each cheese we were trying. It's pricey but I recommend it! read more

Saturday afternoon, I went here with two friends for an exciting cheese experience. We were pumped up for sandwiches and cheeseboards and wine. Sadly, they'd run out of bread when we got in (around 5/6pm), but the Cheese Enthusiast was very good at helping us find another option. Because there were three of us, we all had varying ideas of what cheeses to get. The Enthusiast made sure to listen to all of our dislikes and what particularly we liked in cheeses and then formed a cheeseboard based off of that. The result was delicious. We paired it with wine (if you're unsure which wines to pair, there are signs above each section of wine in the back left of the room). I believe they also had beer, but we didn't get any. When we got the cheeseboard, the Enthusiast made sure to describe each cheese and its story. They also make sure to print out the names of the cheeses so you remember what you got afterward and can order it from the display. Most cheeses we got sold for about $4-8 per 1/4 lb so I bought two. This place is super cute and quaint, but not a good place for big groups. It's better for smaller groups or couples as seating is sparse. Decoration is like rustic deli/old style grocery store almost. (They have some items for sale across the main counter on the left. The only reason this is getting 4 instead of 5 stars is because they ran out of bread. read more

Great place for people who love cheese. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. It's a great place to learn about new cheeses.

My friend and I wanted to hang out after work one day. We decided to stop by for cheese and wine. This place was AMAZING! The employees are so helpful and take the time to educate you on their cheeses. They are very knowledgeable. We realized that they offer various classes at night to learn more about cheese/wine/beer. We cannot wait to double date to one of their classes! I will also stop by to buy cheeses for my sandwiches and parties. The atmosphere is wonderful! Check it out! read more

Cheese selection is ok IF you are willing to go with what they have rather than what you want. The employees are happy to let you know that what they have is better than what you wanted anyway. Parking is impossible. read more

My friend and I originally went to Scardello to have a sandwich for lunch, and left with a full belly, scrumptious cheese, and some lovely wine! What a wonderful place to spend the afternoon! We split the Mountaineer and the Sweet Italian sandwiches, both were delicious. It wasn't crowded when we were there so we talked to the owner and the cheese buyer for a long time. We sampled and learned a lot about cheese. This store is HEAVEN. I left with three very different and exciting cheeses. I will be visiting this store very frequently, and I suggest you do the same! read more

If you love cheese, you need to get yourself to Scardello--STAT! There, you'll find an expansive selection of artisanal cheeses, an exceptionally friendly and knowledgeable staff, an impressive array of quality wines to pair with your cheeses, and various other delicious goodies for a wide range of palettes. And that's just what you notice when you walk in. Join their mailing list, and you'll soon learn that Scardello is a great place to take a cheese tasting or pairing class (did someone say "date night"?), and they even offer local cheese tours for those whose thirst for cheese knowledge seems insatiable. Whenever I need a special gift for someone, I head right over there, and someone helps me put together a special basket that always makes the recipient "Ooooh!" with delight. And all my friends and family know that the perfect gift for me is a Scardello gift card. In fact, for my birthday last year, my boyfriend was out of town, but wanted to do something he knew I'd enjoy. I got an email telling me that something was waiting for me at Scardello--it was a gift card, complete with a cute cheese-themed poem written by the owner for my poetically-challenged boyfriend. In short: the cheese is bountiful, well-priced, and available for tasting. The service is well above par. The atmosphere is charming, and the opportunity for learning is readily available. I couldn't recommend it more highly! read more

Wonderful cheese shop. Vast selection of cheese, with knowledgeable and friendly staff. Love how they have all of the accompaniments...

Who cut the cheese!!! Well I did and I will continue to do it as long as cheese mongers are slingin delicious clumps of milk soilds aged to perfection by the help of various microbes and L-tyrosine crystals or just an early ripe triple brie that taste like a buttery cheese orgasm in your mouth...and yes you must swallow, but I promise it will go down so good...just like your date. More of a midday brunch or lunch and maybe a light night snack with wine after an early dinner. read more

Great sandwiches and cheese selection is always on point! Staff is very informative and well educated so they can give you amazing recommendations. Place is clean and well kept. They also offer classes! read more

A modest but QUALITY selection of cheeses, charcuterie and accoutrements for your cheeseboard needs. Now, I say "modest" meaning that they've got about a quarter the selection of Central Market, but none of the crummy "filler" cheeses like lame-ass Monterrey jack and Colby - Wtf are you even doing with those cheeses, am I right? Drop those like a bad relationship, come on y'all... Their staff is friendly and VERY knowledgable, and they are really passionate about the products they stock. If you want to try some truly different products I highly recommend checking out Scardello! read more

If you like cheese go here! I went here for a cheese and wine tasting. It was very informative and they keep it moving well. I do wish they gave more wine at the tasting, but it is a tasting...not a guzzling :) read more

I wish I knew about this place earlier! What a fantastic hidden little gem. It's an adorable little cheese shop that also sells some specialty items like fancy pickles and dips. They serve lunch and the sandwiches were fantastic! The Sweet Italian is great but I think The Mountaineer is my favorite. The cheese selection was great too if you are looking for artisan cheese. And the guy that worked the counter was super sweet and helpful. Parking is a little tricky so keep that in mind before you head over. read more

Being the mouse that I am, a house full of cheese (and wine!) sounded just like Heaven! The staff is very knowledgable- and you can have a field day with tasting! Every cheese has a story and they love to tell it! We decided to have a cheese and wine tasting one Saturday afternoon and went nuts on a brilliant gruyere, gouda, and something else I couldn't pronounce... Can't wait to get back!! Maybe next time we will dine-in! read more

This place used to be great. It has gone totally downhill. Suggest you avoid. It always used to be over priced but had some semblance of value. It's now just an overpriced ripoff. We just went and got a few sandwiches which are $10 each. There was virtually no cheese on them! No spread, it was like their old sandwiches were downsized do to the economy. That's not fair when the price has been upsized. We also made the mistake of having a little piece of chocolate. It 's about the size of two Hershey's kisses. I figured it might be expensive, like $3. I looked afterwards and it was $6! This is insane. To boot, it was bad quality chocolate. In summary - it's just not good business to overcharge customers and rip them off. You'll make money the first time around. But after visiting about 15 times before, this is the last trip I'll ever make to Scardello. Too many other options and too little time to deal with this frustration. If it was super high quality I could understand. But this was mediocre at best. read more

The only thing that salvaged our time was good company, which the owner hated. The owner did everything he could to make our beer vs wine tasting a terrible experience. He was snooty and unprofessional to more than one of the guests. The rest of the staff was pleasant, but the owner didn't even make it to the end of the night. read more

Coo atmosphere. Knowledgable staff. I had the Cheddar Press sandwich which was amazing and my new favorite Prosecco is the Carpene Malvolti! Highly recommend this place. read more
