Cannoli Week at Brunetti Oro

Overview

Brunetti Classico is a proper Melbourne institution, having served Italian biscotti, cakes and coffee up in Carlton for decades. It's one of the best cake spots in the city. And even though the CBD outpost Brunetti Oro split from the original back in 2021, it is still a standout spot to head for a sweet treat in the city. And this year, it is going all out for Cannoli Day.

Not only have the pastry chefs created a selection of limited-edition flavours, but Brunetti Oro will also be giving away 100 free mini cannoli each day during the week leading up to Cannoli Day — Monday, June 10–Sunday, June 16.

It's a first come, first served situation — only the first 100 punters will get a free cannolo — so make sure you get there as close as you can to its 10am opening time.

The flavours available include classic Sicilian ricotta, cioccolato and vaniglia. An additional three sweet flavours will also be up for grabs, either individually or as a part of the tasting box. Plus, those wanting to go down the savoury route can opt for their shells to be pumped full of either mushroom cream, ragu bolognese or salmon mousse filling. You're totally spoilt for choice.

And if you're left wanting more, but still don't want to pay, Brunetti Oro has set up a competition that could see you winning a whole host of cannoli prizes. For the entire week, visitors can check out the giant cannoli tower and guess how many cannoli were used in its construction. The closest to the actual number, wins.

But, in fact, we're all winning with this cannoli-filled week of specials and giveaway.
