Brunetti Classico Gelato Bar

Brunetti Classico Gelato Bar brings an Italian dessert stop to Carlton’s Lygon Street, with a focus on handcrafted gelato made from quality ingredients. The range includes classic flavours alongside more creative combinations, available to enjoy in store or order online. For a quick takeaway, a scoop with friends or something more substantial to share, it offers a straightforward way to finish a visit to one of Melbourne’s best-known dining strips.

The gelato selection extends beyond traditional scoops. The online range includes gelato-filled cannoli in Bacio, pistachio, caramel and Amarena varieties, along with chocolate gelato cake, pistachio gelato on a stick, and versions featuring cookies and cream, Biscoff and bubblegum. There are also cakes and sweet offerings listed through the store, making the venue suitable for picking up a dessert for a gathering as well as settling in for an individual treat. The website also provides options for pickup, delivery and catering enquiries.

Brunetti Classico’s Carlton café has a longer history than the gelato bar alone: the Lygon Street café began trading in 1985 and has built its reputation around sweet and savoury Italian food. The broader menu covers breakfast, lunch and dinner, with house-made breads, pasta, wood-fired pizza, salads, pastries, hot and cold drinks, and desserts. That makes the Carlton location more flexible than a dedicated dessert counter, whether you are starting the day with breakfast, meeting for a meal or stopping by after dinner for gelato.

The venue describes the café as family-friendly and welcoming to a range of tastes and dietary needs. Its location in the lively heart of Carlton suits casual catch-ups, family outings and group meals, while the gelato offering works just as well for a solo stop along Lygon Street. With a 4.5 Google rating from 211 reviews, Brunetti Classico Gelato Bar is a well-established option for Italian-style sweets and café dining in Melbourne.
