Brunetti Classico Carlton

It is a very busy place (Sunday), but that is the happy vibe you come here for. People enjoying their food, coffee, and chitty chat. There is a wide selection of cakes and some other food too. Service is by ticket machine, take a number, wait a bit before your number is called, then select food and pay. Order coffee, wait some more, and collect it. There are tables inside and outside in the mall.

Have come here many times, it’s a great place to bring family and friends. Service is always nice with really friendly and welcoming staff. Cakes are very yummy and one of my favourites is the tiramisu. The interior is also very elegant and fancy creating a nice dining experience

This restaurant is a fantastic spot for a late-night hangout with friends. The location is excellent, making it easy to reach, and the ambiance is warm and inviting. Whether you're in the mood for drinks, coffee, or dessert, they have you covered. Open till 12 AM, it's a perfect place to relax and enjoy a variety of pastries, cakes, and delicious gelato. The food is great, and the menu offers something for everyone. With plenty of seating, you never have to worry about finding a comfortable spot. Highly recommended for a fun and casual night out.

Maybe one of the shorter reviews I've done, because, well.... who doesn't know about this place already?.. As you can see we love ordering from here. Slowly slowly we are working our way through their lovely selection of cakes. Not only are their cakes and desserts delicious but the people who do the deliveries are great too, always so polite and actually know how to find an address. Always gets delivered with care and on time . Thanks for the amazing desserts and I look forward to ordering again very shortly, now it's time for me to jump on those scales 😀 Cheers James

Brunetti’s in Lygon St ~ this place is insane, we made the mistake of coming here on Mother’s Day (in a good way) as it was soooo busy. No reservations needed, you just walk in & hope you can find a table to cater for your needs.. The place was absolutely pumping, we eventually found a table for eight, placed our orders at the registers & surprisingly didn’t have to wait that long at all for our meals. The service was great ~ friendly, fast & efficient, there were so many staff on board, it was great to see in a place so big & busy where you’d expect the wait times to be long. The menu ~ classic Italian dishes, our meals all came out together & were all deliziosi 🤤 The pizza bases were the perfect thickness, delicately topped with the right amount of toppings, the pastas also cooked to perfection & packed with fresh ingredients & authentic Italian flavours. The cakes looked & tasted amazing, with sooooo many to choose from it was actually so confusing 🫤 too spoilt for choice!! The coffee was also 👌🏾 The selection of ice cream was huge, I opted for the double matcha which I can honestly say has got to be the best matcha ice cream I’ve ever had…. This restaurant has it all, cake, coffee, meals, ice cream, excellent service, nice clean bathrooms, outdoor & indoor seating, they were even selling flowers, not sure if this was just a Mother’s Day thing?!? I wouldn’t recommend going on such a busy day as it wasn’t a relaxing vibe, but I would definitely recommend coming & having the whole Brunetti Italian 🇮🇹 experience!

Brunetti Classico Carlton delivers an exceptional experience every time. From the moment you step inside, you’re immersed in the vibrant atmosphere of an authentic Italian pasticceria. The selection of cakes, pastries, and coffee is simply outstanding — everything is beautifully presented and full of rich, traditional flavour. The service is prompt, warm, and professional, even during busy periods. It’s clear that staff take pride in maintaining high standards. Whether you’re stopping in for a quick espresso or sitting down for a leisurely meal, the environment is welcoming and stylish. This place is more than just a café — it’s a Melbourne institution that honours Italian culinary tradition with elegance and flair. A must-visit for locals and tourists alike. Five stars, without hesitation.

This spot is my go-to for cakes, pastries, and a really good cup of coffee. But honestly, they’ve got way more than just sweets—think pasta, sandwiches, pizza, and salads too. It’s one of those places that just works for any meal, whether it’s a quick breakfast, a chill lunch, or a cozy dinner. Bonus points for the outdoor seating, which means I can bring my furry friend along. Great vibes, tasty food, and pet-friendly—what more could you want?

Fantastic dessert, coffee and pizza. We ordered affogato coffee with liquor. The coffee was good and the whole experience of affogato was wow. Pizza inferno - the thin crust and the sauce was yummy with spicy salami. Pastry we tried tiramisu, amore. Profiteroles , chocolate canoli.
