My favorite Chocolatier was Mary -- down the street form the Royal Palace. Google maps showed it to be in the wrong place; it was a bit farther. The Royals get their chocolate there, I hear.
Marcolini is reportedly great, but it was the only place we couldnt sample chocolates - - everywhere else we went you could buy by the piece for 1.6 to 7 euros per kilo. I thought they were pretentious and spent elsewhere.
Sorry to hear you had a bad experience at Marcolini. Our experience there today was wonderful. Sampled and bought some of the best chocolate in the world. Even sampled the macarons.! Talk about a religious experience.
