This pasticceria has been around since 1880! There is plenty of seating both upstairs and downstairs, and you can stand by the counter if you just want to have a quick coffee and pastry. There is a bathroom located upstairs and is kept in good condition. We came here in the morning to order some espressos and a few pastries. I'm a pistachio lover and the "Rocher pistacchio" was my favorite. They also serve slices of a variety of different cakes, including pistachio, lemon, and chocolate. With so many pastries, you simply must come back and try them all. I gladly give this venue five stars out of five.

We ordered cheese and salami subs for 6.50chf (a great price!). There were other options including ham or just cheese. She said she'd have them for us in the morning. When we arrived to pick up she remembered us and offered to toast our subs. The sandwiches were PERFECT for our long train ride to the airport. The location is just past the train stations toward the north in Zermatt. Highly recommend anyone to stop in and grab a sandwich for the road, the hike, lunch or dinner.

Stop into this small bakery and buy Margheritine cookies; you won't be sorry!…read more My husband and I were walking around Stresa before having dinner and we passed Pasticceria Marcolini, which had a sign outside for Margheritine cookies, specialty of Stresa. I started to walk by, but stopped and went back. I stepped into the shop and asked about the "specialty." The proprietor was very nice and asked if we would like to sample one? My husband and I took one bite of our sample cookies and were sold! The cookie is so light and delicate with just the right touch of sweetness. I have had similar cookies, but nothing so airy and perfect. The price is the same whether you purchase from the bakery case or in pre-packaged boxes. I bought the second-to-largest box. I got back to our hotel later and said to my husband--I got caught up in the moment because they were so good, but how am I going to get these home without them becoming stale or broken? I had a clean, large ziploc bag, so I gently lifted the cookies wrapped in paper out of the box, sealed them in my bag, and put them back in their box. I carried them in my backpack for another week and a half before coming home. Once we were home, the cookies were still fresh, unbroken, and the powdered sugar on top had not melted in the bag. We enjoyed the delicious, light cookies, bringing back memories of that first taste in Stresa. If you go to Stresa, bring a large ziploc and buy Margheritine cookies at Pasticceria Marcolini. They are simple, but perfect.

Here you can get simple drink, some spritz, some desserts, gelato to full sandwiches. You eat, drink and hang out however you like. Place is comfortable, not pretentious and it won't leave you with a big dent in your wallet. It's not cheap but not a rip off. Overall, an excellent experience and was nice even after a full meal at Cracco across the hall.
