Our Storia

More Than Dessert. A Family Tradition.

Welcome to Cannoli Bar, Australia’s first cannolificio (dedicated cannoli shop) in a former 1950s milk bar.Our vision is to bring a slice of Sicilian culture (and nostalgia) to Melbourne. Everything – including our shells, or scorza – are made on the premises using our family recipe. Our cannoli are filled on the spot, too. Shells are piped – generously – with more than 20 different fillings including the Sicilian classic cannolo alla ricotta, Oreo, Nutella and Ferrero Rocher. Stop by for other Sicilian treats too, such as almond biscuits and cassata siciliana, as well as a small selection of pizza and focaccia.

Bringing Sicilan Culture to Melbourne.

Every Bite Tells a Story.

At Cannoli Bar, every bite tells a story—one that begins in the streets of Milan in the 1960s and finds its home in Melbourne today.

Founded in 2018 by father-son duo Achille and Carlo Mellini, Cannoli Bar is built on a rich tradition of Sicilian pastry-making passed down through generations. Inspired by the Sunday sweets of his childhood and honed in some of Melbourne’s finest kitchens, Achille brings a lifetime of passion to every shell, swirl, and spoonful.

Together, the Mellini family has transformed Cannoli Bar into a neighbourhood institution and destination for dessert lovers from all over.
