A gourmet adventure for Emanuele Zanchi, the owner of the arcade and the Manu Il Gelato Italiano brand, and above all the^first Swiss artisanal ice cream maker. This ice cream maker has imported the know-how of Italian ice cream and has created his own shop-workshop in Geneva, where he prepares hundreds of liters of ice cream and sorbets of all flavors every morning! If you're looking for the address, in the middle of summer, just look for the queues stretching out in front of the stores. The creativity of the ice creams and the multiplicity of the proposed flavors are impressive.

Taste while watching the crowds of tourists and locals pass by on one of the city's busiest sidewalks.
