Mannarinu is one of Malta's best-known confectioners and caterers, working from Valletta with outlets in Naxxar and Kalkara. It sells cakes, tarts and gateaux, packaged home party menus, brunch dishes and full outside catering for weddings and corporate events. Visitors to the capital will find its head office on St John's Street, in the middle of the city.
It sits in our directory of catering companies in Malta, alongside other firms for parties and events.
From ice cream to modern hosting
The business traces its origins to 1950, when the late Manuel Cachia started a modest ice cream trade. Carmelo Borg later took over and moved into confectionery, a diversification that quickly paid off, and the firm became one of the leading confectioners in Malta. It is now run by Noel and his wife Bridgette, and catering has grown into one of its main areas, with parties, wedding receptions, corporate events and special occasions.
Mannarinu presents itself as a pioneer of modern hosting, built on fresh ingredients bought daily, more than 15,000 events served and around 90 signature creations a year. Its range runs from brunch to weddings, catering and signature cakes, all with a Mediterranean feel.
Cakes, gateaux and seasonal collections
The online shop lists 67 products, including almond cake, apple crumble, apple pie, banoffee tart, carrot cake, cassatella Siciliana, cheesecakes and muffins.
