The handmade candies are a bit expensive but if you value quality over quantity then this is the store for you. I particularly enjoy the chocolate covered orange peel, but everything is great. And if your a fan of marzipan then you will love it here.

The boxes in the shape of the Duomo were especially captivating. Migone has been in business since 1906 so that says a lot about the quality of their goods.

We bought some panforte and marzipan bars to bring back home to friends and family. But we ended up eating them all ourselves! So we kept coming back for more. It’s a family owned and ran business. They don’t ship nor do they have a website. So be sure to stop by Migone to satisfy your sweet cravings. You won’t be disappointed.

I have sampled a range of treats and thoughts everything was delicious. The chocolate orange is not overly sweet which is a good thing . The ladies who work here are lovely and your treats are beautifully packaged. Yes perhaps it’s a little expensive but given it’s location and the nature of handmade food it’s fine. Probably makes for a nice gift for friends and family if you can manage to get some home.

The shelves are stacked with all manner of candy, traditional torrone, panforte, chocolate covered almonds, candied violets and roses, biscotti, riccarelli , chocolate creams and fruit jellies. The absolute best part are some of the unique containers you can select for your candy, boxes in the shape of the dome of the Duomo, or the facade of the front. Excellent small gifts for special people and that includes you, after all you deserve it!
