What you should know about Amorino.
Amorino is best known for being founded in 2002 by childhood friends Cristiano Sereni and Paolo Benassi, who created the brand around authentic Italian gelato prepared without artificial colors or flavorings before pioneering its internationally recognized rose-shaped serving technique that allows customers to combine multiple flavors in a single handcrafted flower. Inspired by traditional Italian gelaterie, Amorino produces its gelato from carefully selected natural ingredients including fresh whole milk, free-range eggs, Sicilian pistachios, Madagascan vanilla, Piedmont hazelnuts, and seasonal fruit while expanding from its first Paris boutique into an international network spanning more than 20 countries, establishing the company among the world's most recognizable artisan gelato brands.
Silky pistachio gelato reveals the deep, naturally roasted character of Sicilian nuts, while intensely aromatic Madagascan vanilla delivers remarkable richness. Bright fruit sorbets capture the freshness of ripe mangoes, raspberries, lemons, and strawberries through exceptionally smooth textures that allow pure fruit flavors to shine. Freshly filled gelato macarons, warm Belgian waffles, delicate crêpes, and luxurious hot chocolate complement the signature frozen creations, while every rose-shaped serving is assembled petal by petal into an elegant presentation that is as visually memorable as it is delicious. Every spoonful reflects traditional Italian gelato craftsmanship, exceptional ingredient quality, and meticulous preparation that has defined Amorino since its founding.
