We had been told to take a visit here and decided to walk the short distance up the street to try it. We had cones and tubs of gelato in different flavours, all were amazing. The kids loved it as did we. Quick service and lots of flavours to choose from.

This is well-deserving award winning gelateria! I went out in the rain and took a twenty-minute tram ride to get there, and it was worth it. I had a waffle cone with mango and lemon. The gelato was excellent. The mango tasted strongly of mango and the lemon was nice and tart. The servings were generous for the price. Don't expect "cheap" gelato in Geneva -- if you want good quality! I would recommend this place over another popular Geneve gelateria, which seems to get more attention.

We came for an ice cream, but we could have had a 4 course meal and, still save time for a coffee. The ice cream is good, for sure, but their customer service really needs to be upgraded...

This summer while I was walking around, I stopped to refresh myself with an italian ice-cream. I was really astonished by the amazing home-made taste of the ice-cream! It is one of the best ice-cream I ever ate. I suggest this ice-cream chain if you are around Geneva!
The service is super friendly ;-)

Awesome place with awesome ice cream! 5 stars to that. I tried the nutella and melon flavors. Melon is really like the fruit and nutella... Is fantastic.

We had to stand in line at the Paquis branch but it was worth waiting for. The chocolate ice cream is as good as it gets. So much so, that I brought one back home - chocolate and coffee mixed. My husband decided to get a litre and chose five different flavours. I had a taste of some of them - I forget which ones -which also tasted wonderful. I shall try the pistachio next and look forward to the taste experience.

It has the perfect amount of flavours and a nice variety. I feel that for an expensive city such as Geneva, this place offers a very good price in function of the quantity served. I had chocolate and mango ice cream and I think that in my entire life I've rarely had better.

Absolutely perfect gelato in two separate locations in Geneva. Fanciful flavors catering to all tastes - from the chocolatey and nutty to a wide range of sorbets made with real fresh fruit - this is the best, most refreshing homemade ice cream in the city. Manu has one location in the Paquis and one on Rue de Carouge. Both places serve fresh, delicious gelato at reasonable prices.

I needed to write this review because I think Manu Il Gelato Italiano deserves it. I have tried lots of ''authentic'', ''best'', ''customers's choce'' home made, italian ice creams and neither of those is even close to this one. Best taste, consistency, great ideas for mixtures. Ideal. Now i go there every day. Not to mention that the staff is over polite, always ready to help you to pick up something you like and to even give you to taste something before you buy it. Excellent in every sense!

hands down the best icecream in Geneva. Don't waste time and calories with other icecreams. Try the pistacchio and dark chocolate.. it is like eating the real ingredient cold. amazing.

Best ice cream experience outside Italy. Well, sort of outside. It's an Italian ice cream shop in Geneva. Amazing flavors, super creamy "artisanal" ice cream.

Best ice cream in the world. Once we tried it, we became obsessed with it. Very large scoops, and they even have pots for take ice cream home. Prices are average for Switzerland.

Without hesitation Manu sells the best ice-cream in Geneva. The service is friendly and the prices are correct... this being Geneva.
