📌 Editor's Note (2025 Update):
This article was originally published in 2013. We've refreshed it to celebrate over 18 years of Dello Mano and our ongoing journey crafting Brisbane’s best handmade brownies. Thank you for being part of our story.
We believe true luxury lies not in excess, but in craftsmanship — and in the connection between the maker and the food.
👉 Discover why handmade is the new luxury at Dello Mano
At Dello Mano, we believe the best things in life are handmade — with heart, with hustle, and with chocolate.
More than 18 years ago, we set out with a simple dream: to create the best brownies in Brisbane.
Today, that dream lives on in every bite of our handcrafted luxury brownies, enjoyed by locals, celebrities, and visitors from across Australia.
When we first imagined Dello Mano, the dream was simple but bold: to bring back the art of handmade food.
Inspired by a love of slow food and the joy of crafting with care, we started baking brownies in small batches using the finest ingredients — Belgian chocolate, real butter, and time-honoured techniques.
From our humble beginnings at a local Brisbane farmers market, Dello Mano grew as word spread: these weren’t just brownies — they were something extraordinary.
At a time when mass production ruled the food world, we chose another path.
Every Dello Mano brownie is handmade, hand-packed, and infused with the same spirit of quality and care that inspired our first batch.
We believe true luxury lies not in excess, but in craftsmanship — and in the connection between the maker and the food.
Our brownies are still made with:
Rich Belgian chocolate
Real farm-fresh butter
No shortcuts, ever
Handmade precision and small-batch quality
Every square is a tribute to the beauty of doing things the right way, even when it’s the harder way.

Since that first farmers market, Dello Mano brownies have made their way into the hands (and hearts) of many:
Cartier: Our brownies have been served to Cartier clients in Australia, reflecting luxury aligned with handmade excellence.
Celebrities and icons: We’re proud that our brownies have been enjoyed by many well-known figures around the world.
Over two million brownies baked: A milestone we celebrated with deep pride — and a commitment to keeping each batch special.
Through it all, we remain a small family business, devoted to the handmade and the heartfelt.
Among the milestones we cherish most are the small moments that remind us how far a handmade dream can travel.
During a family trip to Paris, one of our daughters playfully held up a Dello Mano brownie to the skyline, lining it up with the tip of the Eiffel Tower — a sweet and simple reminder that dreams really do rise when you believe in them.
