It was ok ! I think the sandwiches are really good but like everything else these days very expensive

Just went here this morning since it was close to my hotel. OMG this place is amazing ! They have international candy and food and I bought a lot of candies from Europe. The store was open at 9:00 am and I got there a little before 9:00. The staff was friendly and helpful. When I come back to Cambridge I will definitely visit them again !

Really great little shop. Interesting specialty foods from wine, potato chips, candy and cookies, olive oil, canned goods and frozen foods they have it all. Their sandwiches are also great. Bread is top notch and you can tell the meat, cheese and vegetables are high quality. Nice staff too. Definitely visit if you can!

Cardullo's!! It's what I'd expect a northeastern sandwich shop to be like. It has everything you need from random goods, alc, rare candies, to a whole deli sandwich section with some greatly made stacks. Food? There's quite a variety - but on SANDWICHES alone - 8.4/10 Service? pretty quick / pretty much self service besides the sandwich making. Ambiance? It's a really aesthetically pleasing spot; however, not much room to eat.

My cousin introduced me to Cardullo's and I was hooked ever since. Whether it's sitting at their sidewalk table or take outs, their sandwiches are unbeatable. Their Italian sandwich is my favorite. I cannot figure out why something so simple tastes so good. This is a must visit when in Harvard Square.

This is a fun shop with various imported and local goods! From the outside I always thought they were just a shop until I saw people eating sandwiches in their outdoor tables one day. We decided to try some of their cold sandwiches on a very hot day. We got the Italian ($14.99) and pera insulata & prosciutto ($13.99). The sandwiches are not cheap but they are quite hefty. Two of us shared both sandwiches and were extremely stuffed afterwards. The bread they use is chewy, flavorful, and holds onto the sauces very well. Both sandwiches had a good portion of both meat and cheese. The fillings were kind of slippery though, so these are definitely sandwiches you want to eat while sitting down.

A real gem in Harvard Square. This is a gourmet grocery store filled with delectable imported treats and a deli counter for sandwiches/salads. The grocery store section has wines/beers, chocolates, sweets, olives, crackers, tinned fish, sauces, tea, coffee and more. I've only ever tried the Italian sandwich but was instantly impressed at how good it was (rivaling Monica's Mercato, my usual go-to spot for an Italian sub). The meats were well portioned and tasty, the veggies were crisp, and most importantly, the bread was amazing. Will definitely be back to explore more of their selection and try more sandwiches; it's the kind of shop you can definitely have fun getting a little lost in :)

A really neat shoppe where we essentially stopped to pick up some dessert on the run. We picked up some macaroons and chocolate. The variety of chocolate was plentiful. They also had plenty of other items to buy as well.

3/17/20 Saw this store upon parking in the Harvard square center and my curiosity got to the best of me and I came strolling inside. This is a very unique store / deli shop. I bought some truffle spread and unique candy. The store is much to be desired with interesting teas, jams, honey, spreads, amongst so many various goodies. The staff there is very friendly and the store is clean and has a lot of unique things to find. The food options seem to be great and decently priced. Although, I didn't order any food, they were busy fulfilling orders while I was shopping.
