We Started Delivering to Melbourne Before It Was Cool

In 2006, long before same-day delivery apps and online food gifting became a trend, we launched Australia’s original luxury brownie gift. Back then, most small food businesses didn’t have a website — we did. We began shipping overnight to Melbourne almost immediately. Why? Because we knew Melbourne would get it.

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 food culture deeply. Dello Mano was born from that understanding. Our brownies are rich, fudgy, not dry or cakey. We use real Belgian chocolate, real butter, and crack eggs by hand , every batch, every time.

Melbourne customers love our Classic Luxury Brownie Gift Box. And the Espresso Walnut Brownie, with real espresso, is a favourite among grown-up palates.

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.

Dello Mano Isn’t a Pop-Up - We’re a Legacy Brand

Melbourne loves discovering the new, but it also treasures longevity and resilience. Dello Mano is a small business that’s weathered floods, pandemics, and market shifts — always by staying true to our roots. We’ve shipped to Melbourne homes, offices, events, and even celebrities for over 18 years.

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. Read our full story here.

Why We Think Melbourne and Dello Mano Just Work

• Melbourne values authenticity, and we’ve built our brand on real stories and real food.
• Melbourne loves design, and every Dello Mano brownie is individually wrapped in  coloured foil, then placed in elegant gift boxes.
• Melbourne supports artisans, and we’ve never strayed from the handmade process.
