When I'm Switzerland by Lake Cuomo, we saw a Laderach and had to stop by. Having then here in LA,…read morewe already knew the quality of the chocolate, but wanted to see if it was different in Switzerland. Fun fact, there is definitely no decline in the quality, it actually tasted exactly the same, and was a little less expensive than here. And you can still sample all of the different barks they have before behind a decision to buy. So, if in Switzerland, stop by Laderach and grab some of the best chocolate bark available. Highly recommend the bark with hazelnuts

Of course you have to stop here for some chocolate…read more We experienced Laderach several years ago while in Switzerland and even took a chocolate making class. There are so much any options, it's good to select a few different types. Make sure you stop by and have a look. Grab some chocolates and enjoy!

Absolutely loved the Swiss chocolate here we taste tested several different flavors, it was a…read morewonderful opportunity to try Swiss chocolate. Our service was impeccable since it was our first time to Switzerland. We purchased four different flavors of chocolate and couldn't wait to share it with our family back in the United States . We rode the Bernina line open window train and bus from Milan to Saint Moritz. unfortunately on our way home, we left our chocolate on the train so we looked for other stores in Milan and the airport, but didn't find anything. Thankfully our sales clerk let us know that there was a location in Houston, Texas, and we're going to visit next month. we were so sad, but pray that someone else has a chance to experience the amazing chocolate.

We look asian but we are not chinese and we are American citizens. But she was very rude, she pick and choose customers. We standed in front of her and she kept picking the other customers whom have white skin color. We were there first, in front line. But she kept saying hi and invited others next to us or behind us. Until I can't hold it anymore and stopped her before she pick another customer behind us. She wasn't happy when I ask her to help us. She went to the back and ear drop another employee something and that employee gave us a wierd look. I hate when people racist and make assumptions about to be chinese. I read the reviews and there were multiple reviews mention about your employees were rude and only pick customers by the look (skin color, looking rich). The reality is I was the one bought the most. The other white skin customer bought only €13. I paid total €64. The others white customers were in the same tour trip with us and also noticed that your employees were racist. Shame on them. They think they are above everyone.

La miglior cioccolata calda con panna del mondo!!!! The best hot chocolate in the world!! Mmmmmmm!!…read moreMy Parmigiano friend took me here on a freezing cold snowy day and it was the perfect drink that kept us all warm and happy! For a cup of hot chocolate, 5 euro price tag seems a bit pricey but trust me, it's really worth it! So rich and flavorful, it was waaaay better than Max Brenner! Highly recommended!

Date of visit: May 25, 2025…read more After a wonderful meal near La Galleria, we needed something sweet and found this lively spot to score some gelato and a piece of cake for my non-dairy husband. Lively isn't halfway describing this place, madhouse is more like it! You start at the kiosk and you don't pick your flavors of gelato, just the type. Then you wait in line for them to call your number and people are jumping in front of you as though that will get their number called first (spoiler alert: it doesn't). But it is quite hectic and if you ordered cake too, that's at a separate counter and takes a crazy amount of time for a piece of semi-dry cake. The gelato itself is very good, it's just small for the price and the wait.

How can you not give this a 5 star and positive review?!?…read more Absolute perfection in a cone (or cup). My go to is tiramisu and coconut and I do splurge the extra 1€ to get the cone top filled with melted chocolate. On this trip to Italy I skipped lunch and enjoyed this treat and sat in the piazza to relax and watch the people. The shop is smaller but service is professional and quick. There is a lot of temptation to also purchase a variety of chocolate pieces/bars. Do yourself a favor and give in. You will do enough walking to justify it.

One of our group would normally get several items and we would then share the selections. In this case, I got a lemon tart and a nice cappuccino and quietly enjoyed my breakfast.

One of the most affordable Pasticceria visited in Italy, the prices closer to those in Mirano than the aforementioned fashion capitol or Venice, it was with limited English that clerks provided service after extensive perusal of the options, a total of eight selections totaling just €10,80 plated and delivered to a small table. In many ways similar to other bakeries, but also offering some novelties featuring housemade Fruit Compote, tastes of the Sugar Brioche as well as the laminated Butter Baton each proved mild yet pleasant in the face of more interesting options, the citrus-scented Rice Cake moist with Ricotta while the tender Baba found itself rich with Rum. Baking the typical Cornetto more crispy than many, its smooth filling rife with Vanilla notes, even better bites were found amidst two laminated pastries packed with Black Currant Jelly, a rounded item labeled as "Sfogliatta" not dissimilar to a Kouign Amann in texture with a center of Raspberries.

The facade alone is worth a visit. Inside you'll find dozens of hanging Parma ham legs, plentiful cheese, local honeys, jams, pickled veggies and so on. You could build out a really nice gift basket or Parma round up from this one stop. Try the cheese when they offer a generous sample! Note that like many other bizs in Parma, they close for a few hours in the afternoon. Traveling with your meat/cheese? They'll graciously vacuum pack your purchases for save travels! Enjoy an extra sample on my behalf when you stop in!
