From 1824 to the present

Marchesi 1824 is one of Milan’s oldest and most renowned pastry shops. Founded in 1824 by the Marchesi family, the historic patisserie quickly earned an excellent reputation for its outstanding artisanal products and for the handcrafted production of Panettone, the typical Milanese cake.

A timeless atmosphere

In the early years of the twentieth century, owner Angelo Marchesi started serving coffee, beverages, and cocktails at aperitif time, transforming the pastry shop into an elegant café where one could spend convivial moments in pleasant company. The evocative atmosphere created by the coffered ceilings and original twentieth-century furnishings still make it one of the most iconic places in Milan. In addition to the historic headquarters on Via Santa Maria alla Porta, the same magic can be experienced in our locations on Via Monte Napoleone and in Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II in Milan, and on Mount Street in Mayfair, London.

The anniversary of Pasticceria Marchesi

In 2024, to celebrate its bicentennial, Pasticceria Marchesi devised a special journey that unfolds through four essential ingredients that have shaped its history: chocolate, coffee, vanilla, and marron glacé. These four elements not only represent the pillars of Marchesi 1824’s tradition, but also tell the story of the evolution and craftsmanship that have distinguished it from its founding to the present day.
