A personalised Christmas hamper delivery service that’s easy to use.

Prices start at ten pounds, and you can spend as much as you want! Orders range from a small nest of cheese, to a wide-ranging array of food; it really is up to you. Once you’ve chosen your food we’ll lay out your gifts on rafia and dress the hamper so that you have a present that looks as good as it tastes, and that is unique. If you’re buying online you can either collect the hamper yourself or, more usual, have it sent to any address in Norwich NR1-NR7. (Do feel free to write a note for us to include in the hamper at the check-out stage; most people do.)

If you come in to the shop we can happily advise on popular Christmas hamper ingredients for loved ones of varying tastes. If you’re buying online, then do just browse our online shop and the collections there.  Most people order a mix of dry and fresh ingredients. The fat Gordal olives are a favourite, finocchiona (fennel) salami, and fontina cheese, and of course our popular gift bags of cakes.

Why Amaretto?

We are a small award-winning Italian deli in Norwich, run by Fabrizio Fiaschi from Tuscany. When you browse the shop you’ll find Christmas gifts from the best suppliers at prices that don’t cost the earth. Your gift is put together and delivered with a personal touch, and, like any well-stocked bottega in Italy, quality is key. For example we have exclusive coffee from Vinci, olive oil from Fab’s cousin in Tuscay, and the best Italian cheese and olives. We also have a whole range of Italian Christmas goods in stock across the Christmas season: you can read more about those goodies on our special Christmas food blog.

Easter Table, Amaretto Deli, Norwich

Did you know we make bespoke Easter Hampers? Filled with the gifts of your choice, and then only £3.50 extra for the hamper materials, they make for a lovely gift. Do come in and ask in the shop if you’d like one made up, or you can also order online and have the Easter hamper delivered in Norwich, NR1-NR7. It’s the perfect gift if you live further afield.

Our Classic Colomba Cake is lovely in a hamper, or on it’s own. It’s been around since the 12th century in Italy, its dove shape symbolising peace. Made by our first class panettone makers Gilber, in Turin, the cake really does melt in the mouth. Gilber use quadruple leavened dough, candied orange peel and a sweet hazelnut and sugar glaze to make this Italian classic. Similar in taste and texture to the panettone, the Colomba is lighter and sweeter than it’s cousin. Understandably, it’s a cake that’s really beginning to gain in popularity in the UK.

La Perla 70% dark chocolate truffles

(Please note our eggs are not currently available online).

We also have plenty of Italian chocolates and biscuits, as well as plenty of other deli food that works really well in mixed Easter Hampers. So, do browse our online shop or come down to the deli at 16, St Georges Street and see what works for you.

Valentine's Day hamper

Why not choose some good food and celebrate in style by sending a bespoke Valentine’s Day Gift Hamper this year. It’s a great gift for your loved one but February 14th doesn’t have to be for one special set of love-birds only; if you know someone else who needs a pick-me-up some good food could be just the ticket. We offer a bespoke hamper service either online or in our shop. You just pay £3.50 for the hamper basket and then choose any of the food in our shop in order to craft a gift that is perfectly suited to you and your loved one.

Most people go for a mix of sweet and savoury gifts in their Valentine’s Day Hamper, but the choice is yours; you can make a picnic hamper, a sweet hamper, a savoury hamper… We have a range of antipasti: olives, our Italian cheese and hams; that make up a lovely hamper. For those looking for a full three course meal, why not choose some speciality pasta, and a rich tasty sauce. Sweeten things up with our special gift bags: the chocolate brownies are a particular favourite. We also have lots of specilaity chocolates to choose from; Italian favourites that are lovely in a sweet gift hamper. Top it all off with some Leonardo Cafe.

Mothers Day Gift Hamper

Mother’s Day falls on Sunday 14th March this year, the fourth Sunday of Lent, as ever.

Given that Easter is earlier this year, so is Mother’s Day, and it’s coming at a time when we are still in fairly stringent lockdown.

What to do?

If you’re looking for a Mother’s Day gift for delivery or to pick-up/ choose in store in Norwich then we can help you.

We have a range of lovely food that would be good for a picnic, if you are able to meet up with your mum and fancy braving the cold.

Picnic food includes olives, cheeses, salami, hams, nice bread, artichokes, crisps, sausage rolls, sandwiches and so on.

Cheese Hamper

If you’re looking for a special gift then why not make up a hamper, using some of the fresh and dry food in the shop; according to taste. We are a speciality Italian deli, and have won awards for the quality of our produce, which we source from the best producers. You could build a hamper for an easy and high-quality dinner, using pasta and sauce, or you could make up a sweet hamper, or a mix of the two; you know best.

We have a whole range of products to choose from, which you can browse in our online shop. The food is then placed in a hamper basket with raffia and ribbons (for only £3.50 on top of the price of your food).

Please note that we are unable to deliver on Mother’s Day itself, as we are closed on Sundays. Please let us know the ideal day for delivery on your order – we can drop off on Saturday afternoon. Do pre-order as soon as possible if that’s your preference.

Do browse the gifts on our online shop now, or come and see on at 16, St Georges Street.

Looking for some special Italian Coffee that you won’t find anywhere else?

Caffe Leonardo Italian Coffee Norwich

Our coffee from Vinci called La Torrefazione Caffè Leonardo is back in stock in our Norwich deli – and you won’t find it anywhere else in the UK.

The coffee is roasted just along from the hill-top village where Leonardo da Vinci was born in 1452, and our Fabrizio a few years later – this coffee is his taste of home.

In operation since the sixties, the artisanal producer has had decades of experience in the hard coffee drinking Italian culture. They have perfected a roasting process that eschews all chemicals in order to create distinctive bags of beans or ground coffee in either medium, strong or decaffeinated blends for expresso machines, your stovetop coffee pot or cafetière.

The coffee is available in small or large bags, beans, or ground, depending on how your habit goes.

They bags of coffee also look great; and do well in a hamper or as an original Christmas gift.
