Stefania Mantero Dolci & Caffe' In Genova

The review I never thought I'd write... The brioches remain, in my opinion, the best in Genoa. The service has become worse than any seedy bar in the historic center. If those in charge allow a rude and inadequate young woman to ignore a customer, to refuse to serve him simply because the customer, after the fourth instance of disrespect, reacted by asking the owner to intervene... then the famous "Mantero Style" goes to hell. I will clearly never set foot in the bar again, and I don't think it will be a great loss for a bar that works so hard... in fact, it will be a victory for the gang of rude women who run it: the defeat of one of the last bastions of courtesy and professionalism we had in Sampierdarena remains. How bitter.

Fabulous croissants!!! I love the cream brioche ❤️! Superior quality! The staff are always super helpful, kind, and patient 🥰🥰🥰!!! When I go to my mom's place in Sampierdarena, breakfast is a must (actually, going to mom's... it's almost an excuse to have breakfast at Mantero's!!)! Compliments to ALL the staff... managing everything quickly isn't easy, even if some people (fortunately, a few)... don't always understand!! Congratulations again and thank you for opening this "little salon" on Via Cantore!

The best breakfasts in Sampierdarena. Try the Hollandaise pastries and much more.

This has always been a leading pastry shop in Sampierdarena, with the excellent idea of ​​adding a coffee shop. However, while some of the products are excellent, others are overrated, and everything is definitely overpriced. The ladies at the counter aren't all the most welcoming.

Always the best. Every time it's a constant discovery.

I live across the street from Mantero and often go there for a treat. The brioche section is excellent; after all, Mantero was originally a pastry shop (which is next door). Some people write that it's chaotic. I'd say it's normal at certain times, given that it's a high-end café where you stand at the counter. Don't worry, turnover is very fast, and you won't have to wait in line. The girls behind the counter are truly extraordinary at handling all the orders while simultaneously cleaning and preparing drinks. High prices? Well, yes. There's no denying it. The quality and variety of brioches comes at a price. The prices are clearly displayed. However, if you want to enjoy a coffee or cappuccino plus a plain brioche/cream/chantilly/jam, etc., the price will be absolutely normal. It goes without saying that certain brioches with fruit or chocolate, etc., cost as little as 3 or 4 euros each. Sometimes, it's a good deal. I thank the owner for deciding to open a place like this here on Via Cantore. Her courage has paid off, apparently. PS: To whoever wrote that "not even a glass of water" I say that all you had to do was ask. I always get it, and it's free.

Excellent pastries, though quite expensive. It feels like being in the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele in Milan.
