Cannoli Day at Brunetti Classico (13–16 June)

Few desserts capture the spirit of Italian indulgence quite like a freshly filled cannolo, and this June, Melbourne’s favourite Italian pasticceria is once again celebrating the iconic Sicilian treat in style.

Brunetti Classico has partnered with Floridia Cheese to bring back its much-loved Cannoli Day celebrations, transforming four days into a citywide tribute to crisp pastry shells, creamy ricotta fillings and authentic Italian craftsmanship. While Cannoli Day officially falls on 16 June, the festivities will run from 13–16 June across all Brunetti Classico locations, giving dessert lovers plenty of opportunities to get their cannoli fix.

Throughout the celebration, guests can enjoy mini cannoli for just $2.50 and large cannoli for $4, available at Brunetti Classico venues in Carlton, Coburg and Melbourne Airport. Whether paired with a morning espresso, enjoyed as an afternoon treat or shared with friends after dinner, the special pricing makes it easier than ever to indulge in one of Italy’s most beloved sweets.

A highlight of this year’s event is the return of Brunetti Classico’s live piping activations at Carlton and Melbourne Museum. Visitors will be able to watch skilled pastry chefs fill crisp cannoli shells to order, showcasing the time-honoured ritual that ensures every bite delivers the perfect contrast between crunchy pastry and velvety filling. It's a simple process, but one that remains central to creating an authentic cannoli experience.

Leading the special flavour lineup is the Tiramisu Cannoli, developed in collaboration with Floridia Cheese and featuring rich, creamy mascarpone inspired by the classic Italian dessert. Another standout is the Chilli Honey & Ricotta Cannoli, created alongside artisan condiment producer Bippi. Combining Floridia Cheese’s fresh ricotta with a subtle chilli warmth and honey sweetness, the flavour offers a contemporary twist on tradition.

For purists, Brunetti Classico’s signature cannoli flavours remain firmly on the menu. Guests can choose from traditional Ricotta, silky Vanilla and decadent Chocolate Custard fillings, each freshly piped into golden pastry shells.

More than simply a dessert promotion, Cannoli Day celebrates the enduring appeal of Italian food culture and the craftsmanship behind one of Sicily’s most iconic treats. With fresh fillings, special flavours and live demonstrations, Brunetti Classico is once again bringing a little slice of Italy to Melbourne.

And with prices this sweet, stopping at just one cannolo may prove impossible.
