From 1966 Martesana is considered a synonymous of high-quality patisserie. Its success derives from the attention for raw materials and from the team that everyday amazes customers with tasty but light sweets, creative and beautiful.

Martesana, which has become a reference point in Milan and in Italy, is managed by Vincenzo Santoro (Master of the Accademia Maestri Pasticceri Italiani), who left Apulia when he was very young to give our city a sweet paradise.

The masterpiece of Martesana are little pastries: here you will find the great classics, but also original and contemporary recipes, prepared using seasonal products.
