Sagarino’s

My favorite wine and cheese shop and everything else in Boston including great chocolate selection. Friendly service and open 7 days a week, most nights until 11 pm including during blizzards!

Bewilderment and then contentment. I was looking for a wine shop to buy a bottle of wine for a friend, and Unilocal directed me here. When I arrived, I was worried — a subterranean convenience store? Worry turned to bewilderment. Amazing selection of wine (and some of the best wine gift bags I’ve seen) plus fine cheeses, chocolates and more. Perfect for a picnic, impromptu home-​cooked dinner, whatever.
Plus, the guy who works there (who I understand otherwise can be found breakdancing) is super nice.

I think most of the staff behind the counter are rude. They act like they are doing me a favor by taking my money. Benji the dog is cute and they have some different items for sale such as soaps, candles and hard to find candies. But who cares. I don’t drink beer or hard alcohol and the wine selection sucks. I go to Walgreens in downtown crossing for blah, but at least a larger selection of wines. They always thank me for my business.

I love this little place and the people that work there. Since I live in the neighborhood it is my go to spot for any odd house hold item, food, bread and wine wine wine! If you want a store w friendly and awesome staff w a cute dog who will greet you when you come in you should stop by here. They also have a great selection of funny cards, holiday knick nacks, bread (you can also get day old bread here for cheaper than the fresh stuff), good tea selection, head to the back for great ice cream choices as well:)

75% of the store is devoted to alcohol and ice cream; tiny selection of produce and other real food. Small, very crowded.

Not only is there the cutest dog in the shop, but the selection is incredible for a Boston store like this. Excellent selection, friendly staff and a wide variety of things to choose from.
Enjoy!

Best place to come for vintage wine if you are around the area. Also closes very late.

Small but great selection. Down a few steps and into the world of wine, cheese, beer, liquor, and some great treats. Convenient but a slightly pricier then in the country. I am in Boston so a very fair price.

A fine little postage-​stamp of a gem of a store with all them beer essentials, smokes, lottery, sure, but a quality beer selection, vigorous wine for the size of the place, pastas, breads, basic groceries, nice cheeses… glad that this place is here and open ’til 11pm every nite… a great go-​to when you got the need to go get some… whatevah, baby!

I bought two bottles of wine here and didn’t particularly like either one. I went for the mid-​range ones in terms of price but I still expected to love them based on the 5 star reviews. I guess the reviews weren’t for the taste of wine but still. Pick out better wine George! I don’t know George but I am glad he is very nice.

Multiple aisles of wine and quality liquor. Fridge cases of chilled beer and wine. An entire fridge section dedicated to lovely meats and cheeses. Fresh bread, fruit (including lemons and limes for garnish!), mixers of all sorts and all the typical sundries you’d expect from a local shop.
Also a great place to swing by in the morning for delicious coffee and local pastries.
Add in a fantastic owner and super friendly folks behind the counter. I truly feel like the luckiest gal in Boston to have Sagarino’s as my neighborhood grocery store.

Excellent acquaintance service — you feel like more than just a customer there — there is everything you can dream of in a gourmet neighborhood grocery store. Champagne, Tulips, Mixed nuts, Designer scented soaps… they run the game and the thread that binds is Q-​U-​A-​L-​I-​T-​Y!!! I’d glad give Sagarino’s a perfect 10!!!

WHY have I only TODAY just discovered this place? Little markets like this are a GEM in Boston! Love’em!!!

As I was walking ’round my ‘hood today, I noticed a number of new businesses popping up around what used to be the «Leather District» here in town. I happened upon this place — there’s no sign out front and I didn’t know what it was until I peeked downstairs and saw it’s a cute little market. Sign on the door advertising Scotch Malt tastings on Thursday nights. HM! Color me interested — so I went on in.

It’s one of those very cute little cramped stores that are a rare find in Boston. It sells pastries, chips, dips, sodas (for sale: GuP «Grown Up Soda»?), pasta, sauces, candy, wine and beer. It’s great! You’ll find a few brands you’d see in a big grocery store, like Emiril’s, but also a number of speciality brands you only find in awesome stores like this. Case in back has beer, real nice cheeses and spreads. Lottery tickets and smokes up front. Couple fresh breads by the door. And, my major find of all find; TIM TAMS. YES, the holiest of holy treats!!! AWESOME!!! If you do not know what a Tim Tam Slam is, then you don’t deserve to know me or be reading this right now! Google it! Youtube it!!! HEAVEN!!!

Great little convienence store in a perfect location for my ‘hood. THANKS!

Flat out the best convenience store in Boston.
Anyone living the financial/​leather/​ladder/​chinatown/​waterfront area should know about this gem. I unfortunately went almost a year without finding out about it.
Everything is packed in at an amazing density. Great wine racks, a full fridge of 20 – 30 different cold white wines, beer for beer snobs, cheese, meat, cookies, crackers, rum, ice cream… and it’s open to 11? How is it that I just found out about Sagarino’s? I’ll just be happy that I finally did.

Sagarino’s is the type of convenience store that I wish I had in my own neighborhood.
The store itself has an ‘Old World’ European feel to it. They have an amazing selection of beer, wine and champagne which makes it easy to pick up something either on the way home or if you are off to a dinner party after work. They also carry a great variety of gourmet cheese and meat, European candies, as well as common groceries like eggs and milk and different types of ingredients. Sure the prices are a little more than then going to your local grocer but the quality is amazing and there’s some interesting things that you wouldn’t normally see in a Cumbies.
They sometimes have tastings if they are bringing in a new brand. I went with a few friends and got to taste Square One Vodka (
) which was really amazing. Yay! for free vodka tastings at 4 in the afternoon. The Square One rep knew a lot about the vodka and local restaurants that were featuring it.
George, I believe that he’s the owner is very pleasant and his little pup Benji is so cute. I love walking in and seeing that little guy running around!

I used to work in spitting distance from Sag’s. I gotta say they have a great variety of beer and wine, and some great champagne,… for a price! I think I paid $ 17 for a 12 pack of Corona once… But its the convenience of not having to take your car anywhere, especially in an area dominated by nothing but pay lots. Good cigarette collection and all kinds of little gourmet foods in the fridges and on the shelf. This place is great if you are having a craving for fresh bread and cheese… don’t forget the wine!

When you live in Fort Point Channel, you have to get into your car to get to most places. But what happens when you don’t want to drive. Say it’s 9:45pm on a week night you’re out of milk and you know you’re going to want some in your latte the next morning. Or, if it’s 10:45 on Friday night and you need another bottle of wine because your house guests are drinking more than you planned on?
You can WALK to Sagarinos and get pretty much anything there. Milk, eggs, cereal, gourmet cheese & meats, coffee, beer, wine (good selection too), alcohol, bread, Toblerone, European candy, Pellegrino etc. And they let your dog in. Not only do they let him in — they give him treats too.
Chances are a handsome, friendly man is going to ring up your order too. You’ll pay a premium because this is the ultimate convenient store — but it’s so worth not having to get in your car.

I need to come here more often so I can smuggle a bottle of Lambic in my desk when I feel I just can’t take it anymore at the office.
This is seriously one of the only mini marts in the area, I mean, unless you count C-​Mart in the outskirts of Chinatown. They have a surprisingly decent selection of beer and wine, I was especially surprised when I saw my beloved Lambic. They also carry some other food essentials. It’s a lot easier for me to come here to grab some salad dressing than lugging my way over to CVS. Yeah the prices are on the more expensive side, but I’d rather spend it on the locals than on a the huge chain.
Be careful on the stairs though, they are pretty steep!

I live about 90 steps away (yes, I counted once so I could forewarn everyone at a party if we had a dire case of low alcohol) from Sag’s and hubby and I are in here at least once a week.
Yes, it’s overpriced, but that’s what you get for convenience. Especially since there isn’t a frickin grocery store ANYWHERE near us (grr).
George is great, and my pup goes bananas for Benji.
Truth be told, the majority of the time I’m in here, it’s for wine and beer. They have a decent beer selection, and they’re always getting new wines in. My favorite part is that they’ll advertise which local restaurant is serving which wine and how much they’re getting per glass. Makes you realize the value in buying the bottle, and also makes you realize what a crock of shit the restaurant biz can be. In addition, if you have a wine you really like, they’ll do anything they can to accommodate you and we’ve had them order us a couple cases in the past.
The best part? Should you happen to need brown sugar or some other random cooking item on the eve of a major holiday and they don’t have it, they just might direct you a few blocks over to their apartment where they have some «extra» lying around that we can have. Now THAT’S the kind of neighborly interaction I’m talkin’ about!

This is the convenience store across the street from my work, so I basically go there every day to buy Diet Coke and a muffin.
They have a normal selection of convenience store fare, at normal prices, but also liquor and beer. That doesn’t come in particularly handy at work, but I suppose it’s neat they have it.
The thing that I like about this place is the owner, George. He is always there, UNBELIEVABLY nice, and a pleasant person to interact with during my brief experiences in his store. If I like a particular item (such as Cherry Coke Zero) he makes a sincere effort to keep it stocked. Sometimes he has his doggy in there wearing a sweater!
Makes walking out to grab a drink or snack a very pleasant break from work.
