Wittamer is excellent. The story I heard from them is that Marcolini trained there and then started his own shop. I can taste some similarities. Both excellent chocolatiers. When I run across the "menu" for Wittamer, I'll post the names of some specific pieces, but I do remember that Galler's Earl Grey tea piece has gone over better than Marcolini's piece at more than one chocolate tasting that I've arranged.
