Pasticceria Marchesi
Traditional sweet treats inside Milan’s iconic Galleria





Providing the residents of Milan its sweet pastries, cakes, cookies and chocolates alongside a hearty helping of coffee, cocktails and aperitifs since 1824, this staple venue in Milan’s mid- and post-shopping scene has opened its third venue, overlooking the stunning mosaic pavements and interior of Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II. Sited on the mezzanine level of the Prada Men’s boutique (accessible from both the Galleria arcade and the Prada store), the green Venetian plaster interior serves as a calming, traditionally-inspired spot to watch the world fly by, and pick up a delectable treat to take away from the tastefully arranged displays.
