Di Raimondos Italian Market and Cheese Shop

Delicious! We had pâté, a creamy blue cheese & sopresata. The employees were super friendly & gave great advice. They were even friendly to the super snooty family in front of us! We then took our food to BarrelHouse Brewing Co. for a picnic.

Love this place. Such fantastic service, great selection and super knowledgable staff.
Tasted so many great cheeses, and bought several as well. Though many of the cheeses
start at $ 30+ a pound, this isn’t going to hurt. Because at Di Raimondos, they don’t mind cutting smaller slices for the curious but budget conscious culinary explorer of cheestopia.
I’ll definitely be back.
Side note: For the loved ones of those patrons with post cheese «pants choir» issues– the nearby Paso Robles General store carries a selection candles.

Great little cheese shop. Stopped in for a few cheese before heading to a night at Croad Vineyards.

Great selection of cheeses, olive oils and other gourmet items. Prices are very high even by Beverly Hills standards, considering that they’re located in Paso Robles!

This little shop in downtown Paso is wonderful. They have some of the best cheese selctions I have ever seen! They had goat cheese, gouda, and even some tasty fromages I couldn’t pronounce… there was also a nice bleu called «Humbolt Fog,» (which sounded more like a certain herb than cheese), quite tasty though. The staff is super friendly, however, I left off a star because they helped someone who had just barged up to the counter before me (I had been waiting patiently in line for about 5 minutes). I have yet to try the little bistro next door, will extend my review when I do! Overall a great little hole-​in-​the-​wall!

Wonderful place to buy deli items such as cheese, sausage, crackers for a day in the wine country. Very knowledgeable advice on types of cheeses that go with wine tasting. Not sure when their bread is delivered. We went at 10 and it hadn’t been delivered.
Also bought a $ 8 cool container for cheese. Owner provided packet already frozen. Not their first rodeo.

This place is a cheese lovers heaven! We had been there a few years back and when we were back in Paso Robles we had to stop again, then again on our way back home. The staff is knowledgeable

Mmmm cheese :)
A old school type joint, with a great selection! My husband had a field day and we ended up spending more on cheese then we did on wine for the wine tasting weekend haha
They had a vintage Canadian cheddar that was out of this world amazing. Like I would drive back to paso from Fresno for more of it amazing. And after reading about it on Unilocal we had to buy the salt baguettes as well, which were soo good!
The only critique we could offer is that the 2 younger gentlemen manning the counter were not very friendly or helpful; but it could’ve been an off day and it certainly wouldn’t stop us from returning.

I love this place! The owner is so nice and friendly and they have quality products! They provide samples and their prices are fair.
What makes shopping at a local business so special is that you feel valued every time you come in. This place is a perfect example of what a local business should be run like.
Every time I have been, they have taken their time to help me pick out something I’m happy with. They are extremely knowledgable and wonderful with my seven year old son too. Most importantly, I have not had a cheese I haven’t liked.

It is everything that everyone says it is. A delightful cheese shop where you can sample the cheeses before purchase. They sell a really tasty sea salt bread that you must get to accompany your cheese that you buy before your wine tasting begins. We had nothing in mind going in so the cheese monger asked if we wanted to try his personal favorites. We did. We left with two hard cheeses, which I normally wouldn’t choose on my own, and a couple loafs of bread. These all came in very handy for all the wines we tasted that day.

The choice of cheeses and meats were awesome! And the bread was amazing as well. The clerk who helped us the day we visited invited us to try some cheeses we had never heard of. We bought a variety of cheeses and a loaf of their salted fresh baguette to take on our picnic for our wine tasting adventure that day. Oh, and the muffeletta was yummy, too!

I found this place about a year ago and go by at least once a week.
Their cheese is incredible, their suggestions and knowledge are spot on and where else would you even consider going before wine tasting.
My favorites are the fresh bread, Brebicet Brie, double cream Gouda and the staff!
So friendly, so genuine, so poised to please
And so eager to let you taste whatever samples you are considering.
Best cheese shop in SLO county by far

I came upon this shop because they carry the very rare white anchovy aka Bacarones, packed in oil as they should be. They are so much smoother, less salty, milder and way more expensive than their plentiful cousins the regular red anchovy. But, a few bacarones absolutely make a caesar salad (along with the equally rare Wolfgang Puck’s dressing). The only other place I know of within 100 miles is in Santa Barbara (C’est Cheese). I did not have any of the cheese or other items on my recent quick visit … but they have bacarones and for that I am grateful and appreciative!!! The two very young men working the counter were pleasant, cheerful and friendly!

Wonderful selection of charcuterie. We selected several cheeses that were incredible. W4 had the cabernet parmigiano and the goat gouda. Absolutely spectacular. The spicy capricola was divine. The only drawback was the wait. We waited almost an hour to be served. Luckily the cheese monger was very sweet. She offered us samples as she helped the customers before us. Overall a great place to stop on your way to wine tasting in paso.

This meat and cheese shop was a special surprise on our trip to Paso Robles. The staff were very knowledgeable and let us taste a few cheeses before we purchased. They helped us determine which flavors we would enjoy, and we were soooo happy with the cheeses, salami and bread that we went home with. I highly recommend this place, for the quality of the food and the helpfulness of the staff. I only gave it 4 stars because it was pricey.

Back again to pick up a loaf of sea salt bread and cheese for the road. Still a wonderful selection of artisan cheeses, meats and olives. New little bistro next door with seating out front that I’ll make sure to stay and enjoy next time.

We stumbled upon this quaint gem after lunch (also awesome and reviewed at Fish Gaucho on Jan. 3^rd). As soon as we walked in a blonde lady behind the counter acknowledged and welcomed us even though she was helping another patron. It’s nice when a small business welcomes you as soon as you enter; it makes me want to stay and look around and buy something if it appeals to me. The other employee was a very friendly man who encouraged us to sample some gourmet cheeses, which we happily obliged and bought about 4 – 5 different ones along with some olives and anchovies. He was knowledgeable and that always makes it fun and informative.
Artisan driven, epicurean delights like this small business really add charm and appeal to any community but this spot just off the main town square is ideal. Very glad we found it and would recommend it to anyone. I believe they operate a small restaurant, also attached which we will try on our next visit. Cheers and enjoy.

This place was like finding heaven for me!!!
Real Italian deli with huge cheese and meats selection, fresh baked bread that you should reserve for pick up if you want to actually try it, lots of Italian goodies including panforte!
Let’s say we stopped to buy some cheese and salami and ended up buying way more than that. Employees super friendly and they take their time to give you different samples until you pick the cheese you like. We also forgot to bring our knife and since we were heading up for some tastings decided to grab that to cut our meats.
As I was about done shopping I found the table with all the organic, imported panforte and that’s were the damage began.
Cant wait to go back and visit this little spot, next time I’ll seat down to drink some wine and eat some cheese on their outside tables.

Charcuterie and cheese heaven! Oh my goodness, this place is fantastic. When you know you have a full day of wine tasting ahead of yourselves, I recommend coming into this quaint shop first. A huge array of mouthwatering cheeses, meat, bread, olives, condiments, crackers, cookies– Yes, I would like these now just writing about it! The employees are really helpful with suggesting different items and they are great with sampling. The more they sampled, the more we bought. Makes sense.
I recommend bringing your cooler and packing it with these tasty treats. In between each winery we would stop at, we would do an assembly line full of the various items and it made the day even better.

My husband and I came to Paso Robles this weekend for wine tasting and got a chance to swing by this «highly rated» cheese shop. We came inside and was greeted by someone who helped cut some cheese slices for us to taste-​test. We tried a couple cheeses and finally decided on buying the following:
(1) lamb chopper — a lighter sheep cheese; smooth and good for sandwiches. it’s the most expensive cheese of the 3 that I purchased, and kosher too. from Wisconsin!
(2) aged gouda (aged for 26 months) — I like this cheese the best, and it was a ‘best seller’ too. it’s hearty, salty, and harsh; full of pungent gouda flavor. you can’t eat too much of it at a time; and the cheese crumbles fast. it would go great with some fruit and wine pairings; or even in salads. yum! i believe it was imported from Holland too.
(3) merlot — another ‘best seller’ at this store; and sourced from Wisconsin. It’s smooth and rich in flavor; has an after taste of the Merlot wine, and quite bold in texture and flavor too. My husband likes this cheese the best. :)
this shop also sells other Italian products; however, we were there mainly for the cheese. so nice to buy some fine cheeses before we headed home! Thanks Paso Robles.
