Peverelli Gianfranco (Bellinzona)

We offer our customers an extraordinary assortment of pastries and confectionery, suitable for every need or events both public and private.

Directly across the street from the Collegiate Church of Sts. Peter and Stephen you will find our pastry shop (Peverelli Tea Room), where you can can enjoy a variety of light meals, desserts, chocolate coffee and liqueurs. Coffee has a memorable place in the history of the local confectionery. Castelgrande once housed a mint that created a coin called Bissolo that depicted a snake coiled around a pole.

If you look closely at the snake, you will see that it is cut into three pieces, each representing one of the three cantons: Uri, Schwyz and Unterwalden, which once came to power here in Bellinzona. This snake is often painted around the city.
In 1997, Giulia Clerici-Cariboni, an employee of the venue, was was inspired by the image by creating the tasty treat that won the Bellinzona Pastry Shop competition called Bissoli.
