Sad News: Cardullo’s Owner Passes Away


We were very saddened to read on Cantabrigia that Frances Cardullo, owner of Cardullo’s, has died at 68. Cardullo’s is one of the Hub’s best gourmet shops with an excellent selection of everything from obscure cheeses to European chocolate bars. And oh! Those sandwiches! The Donald, filled with duck confit, fig jam, and grueyere, haunts our dreams.

Cantabrigia seems unclear about the fate of Cardullo’s. For our own sake, as well as for that of all Harvard Square gourmands, we hope the shop can survive the loss of Frances Cardullo. It would be devastating to see Cardullo’s go the way of fellow Harvard Square institution The Tasty, which closed forever after its owner passed.
