Best Brownies in Brisbane | The Dello Mano Dream

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.


Our Dream Begins

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.


Crafting Brisbane’s Best Brownies

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.

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.
