Where Handmade Meets Chocolate Obsession
Melbourne brownie lovers know their food. In a city where artisan markets thrive and food stories matter, Dello Mano Melbourne brownies have quietly built a loyal following, one gift box at a time.

Delivering to Melbourne Since the Very Beginning
In 2006, when online food gifting was still new, we began sending our handmade brownies to Melbourne. There were no delivery apps, and most small food makers didn’t have websites, but we believed in our idea and built one ourselves. From the start, Melbourne felt like the right fit. A place that appreciates craft, quality, and the joy of thoughtful food.
Melbourne Recognised Our Vision Early
From the start, Melbournians embraced Dello Mano. They saw our brownies not as a trend, but as an experience. We partnered with the Etihad Stadium (now Marvel), Moonee Valley Members events, and were proudly stocked at the iconic King & Godfree.
Our clients include Melbourne law firms, medical specialists, and design-forward companies like Coco Republic. We’ve also partnered with BMW and Universal Records to deliver branded brownie experiences nationwide, Melbourne included.
Our Brownies Match Melbourne’s Food Ethos
I grew up in Melbourne and studied food science there, so I understand the city’s deep connection to quality, creativity, and food culture. That understanding helped shape Dello Mano. From day one, we set out to make a brownie that was rich and fudgy, never dry, never cakey. We use real Belgian chocolate, real butter, and crack every egg by hand, batch after batch.
Melbourne customers have embraced us from the beginning. The Classic Luxury Brownie Gift Box remains a favourite, and the Espresso Walnut Brownie, made with real espresso, is especially loved by food lovers. Explore our full range of handmade brownies and find your favourite.
Year-Round Delivery That’s Reliable
Unlike chocolate bars, our brownies don’t melt in transit. They ship safely across Australia all year round. We include cold packs in warmer months and use express overnight couriers; Melbourne CBD orders often arrive the next day. That’s why our brownies are a great option for corporate gifting and boardroom-ready treats.

How It All Began - Inspired by Italy, Built in Brisbane
Dello Mano began not with a business plan, but with a question: could a humble food, the brownie, be elevated into something meaningful? The answer unfolded on a family trip through Italy.
Wandering through Rome’s neighbourhood bakeries, the Market in Florence and Bologna’s bustling food markets, we saw how even simple things were treated with reverence. Bread was handed to customers with care, and cakes were wrapped like gifts.
The philosophy was clear: food wasn’t rushed; it was respected. That slow, thoughtful approach became the seed of Dello Mano. When we returned to Brisbane, we began baking at night in a borrowed soccer club kitchen while our young children slept nearby, slowly shaping the handmade path we still walk today.
Why We Think Melbourne and Dello Mano Just Work
