Il Baretto Gallese In Genova

09/04/2026: I bought a really beautiful Easter egg, hand-painted, delightfully decorated. But I was disappointed by the surprise: a voucher for one person for coffee and a croissant at the same pastry shop. Really stingy compared to the egg and its price.... they would have done better to at least offer a voucher for two. Personally, next year at Easter I certainly won't be buying it again.

24/02/2026: A neighborhood pastry shop between Sturla and Quarto. Even though I'm local and often ride my scooter, I think its corner location doesn't enhance its appeal, especially since unless you're walking right past, it's hard to see. Upon entering, the place has a rustic, simple, clean, and tidy feel, and the blonde girl behind the counter is truly knowledgeable and professional. The Hollandaise pastry was delicious, and was perfectly puffed; I didn't give it all 5 stars only because I like the cream less sweet and more vanilla-flavored and aromatic. Regardless, it's a good, high-quality pastry shop that focuses on a few, but good, products: in addition to the café section with puff pastries, they also have cremini, Sacher-style pralines with various fillings, pandolcini, semifreddo cakes, and Sachertorte. How talented they are!
