Amaretti is a wonderful work of passion and purpose coming together. In 1996, Nada, a woman with an entrepreneurial spirit, a passion for food, and a talent for bringing people together, set out to create a space she wanted for her family, friends, and community, a meeting point to gather, enjoy good food, and always be welcome. This was when she founded a charming cafe in the heart of her neighborhood in Hazmieh, Lebanon, which initially offered delicious desserts inspired by her travels. Today, Amaretti specializes in European bakery and pastry items providing a wide range of cakes, tarts, ice creams, biscuits, breads and viennoiseries. The star item is the brioche, a light and fluffy sweet bread with almonds, cinnamon, and raisins. These sweet options are complemented with a fresh selection of savoury bites, freshly made sandwiches, hearty mains, and healthy salads, as well as great coffee and freshly squeezed juices. Amaretti has established itself as a trendy urban café that attracts people from all walks of life to grab their favorite desserts on the go, hang out for a coffee, enjoy a delicious meal, hold meetings, or simply gather. Over the years, Amaretti has transformed from a neighborhood cafe to a full-fledged, sought-after brand, and a landmark in its city and neighboring ones too.
