Piazza Discepoli Wine & Food

I found this shop on google maps and Spencer did a fantastic job purchasing, packaging and arranging delivery for a wine gift to a local resident. The packaging was beautiful and the recipient loved the wine. Thank you for your attention to detail and help with this order from out of state!

I ordered charcuterie for 30 people at the Eisele Gallery in Marimount. The mix of cheeses, meats and garnishes was excellent and the presentation was outstanding.

Great little wine and food shop! Have been to several of their monthly wine tastings, and I will be back for more. They always have so much yummy food at the wine tastings, so it's worth the slightly higher cost than other tastings. The truffle cheese is SO GOOD! Staff is also very nice and knowledgeable about the wine, and they have a good selection. My ONLY complaint is that you must buy 12 bottles to get a case discount - versus six bottles at other places. [EDIT 7/2023 - THEY NOW OFFER THE DISCOUNT ON SIX BOTTLES]. But overall, highly recommend, and I will definitely be back many more times.

We had a great time at the wine tasting. Spencer was very thorough with describing each wine we sampled. We also enjoyed the hors d’oeuvres. Very delicious. Unbelievably friendly staff. Great for a small gathering or private event.

Great selection of wine that spans a broad price range. They are particularly good at sourcing great wines in the $15-25 range. I've liked nearly every recommendation Marty has made! He understands our budget constrains and works really well within them. Highly, highly recommended!

These guys know their stuff and are so friendly. If you have a price range and a specific taste or type of wine you're looking for, they will give you a few options, and odds are they will nail it. We always enjoy our time there! 🍷

Awesome wine shop. Everyone is very helpful and knowledgeable. No matter your budget, they will point you in the right direction. Also, the food/deli area is awesome. Some truly great stuff.

Great wine and cheese shop. If you are an expert or a novice these guys will help you find new and interesting wines, along with an inventory of great favorites. Then go match them with their selection of cheeses.

I went in last year not having a clue what I was looking for, but I told them what kinds of food my sister in law was making, what wines I had heard my in laws saw they liked at some point, and he, the owner steered me to just the right bottle. I never pay more than 10 bucks because I don't know anything about it, so I was terrified they would only suggest something $60. But we discussed how much, the people sharing the wine cared, the people drinking the wine cared.... And I think it ended up about $19.00 a bottle.

It was also one of these days right before Thanksgiving and I had a cold, forgot that should have thought about it earlier, I looked and felt like hell. I do remember wondering if I was going to regret going in feeling and looking haggerd.(Not full blown train wreck, but damn near. And I have low standards.)

I remember walking out of there feeling good about my choices, not stupid, and thankful that people still are in retail, most of the time, because they enjoy the topic of which they are selling. I have been in that industry. I've been to the "mean wine ladies" shop in Hyde Park Square. I know it well. I actually wanted to start drinking more often so I had a reason to go to piazza discepoli more often. But, alcohol makes my feet swell and red wine makes me cry.... So, I hold back until I have a reason.

He also helped pick a sparkling wine, a rose. I was totally sceptical, because... Rose. It was wonderful! We ended up scouring local wine shops after Thanksgiving in SC to find more. (It started with the letter B) I'm so sorry someone in another post said she had a horrible experience. Mine was totally different.

When people in small shops start asking customers questions about what they are looking for, it's because they usually know the store inside out and can help you quickly navigate what you should look at or avoid. They probably care about sharing something they love or find useful with someone else. That's the ultimate joy, and why people stay in retail. Not everyone gets commission, it's a lot of standing and loving something you don't know if any one else will ever love and people think you're crazy if you start asking a whole lot of questions. "I'll know it when I see it" can sometimes be right under your nose in small shops. But you won't always find it without sharing a bit of yourself. This is the human connection that we are all missing. Small talk. Shared joy from silly things like loving how 2 colors are just so right together! Or the sharing the thought that goes into putting on a birthday dinner for family. Even if there are only 5 people coming to dinner. Be kind to yourself and your small shop owner. Sometimes they know what they are talking about. (PS. a lot of them are idiots and can't find their way out of a brown paper bag, and for them, I am sorry you have to encounter them.)

Such a wonderful privately owned business with a unique collection of wines, cheeses and other delicacies. Prompt, courteous service.

I stopped here to make a basket for my parents anniversary. They were extremely helpful.

Fantastic place! You have to check it out. Jennifer was an absolute delight 👍

If you're looking for wine...this is the only place to go.

The employees here are knowledgeable and friendly!

I echo what Rachel said in an earlier review. I have tried numerous times to try and support this small business, but the owner’s condescending behavior is infuriating.
