MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA - July 2, 2025 - Brunetti Oro, the iconic name synonymous with Melbourne’s Italian café culture, has recently taken a bold step into inclusive indulgence with its new vegan and gluten-free dessert range. This launch marks a move that celebrates both tradition and modern dietary preferences. The reputed pasticceria has introduced an exquisite selection of cakes and gelati that cater to plant-based and gluten-intolerant food lovers, who no longer have to compromise on flavour, texture, or elegance.
Suppose you are among those embracing a plant-based lifestyle, undergoing dietary restrictions, or simply seeking a delicious twist on classic favourites. In that case, Brunetti Oro now offers more ways than ever to indulge. The updated menu features a thoughtfully curated collection of new items, including handcrafted vegan gelato cakes, such as the rich and nutty Vegan Pistacchiola, the decadent Vegan Chococonut, and the refreshing Vegan Fragola al Limone. Each dessert is carefully developed by Brunetti’s master pastry chefs to deliver a true Italian experience, minus the dairy and gluten.
For those who prefer their indulgences flourless, Brunetti Oro now offers gluten-free renditions of beloved Italian staples. Highlights include the Torta Caprese, a sumptuous chocolate and almond cake hailing from the island of Capri, and the silky, deeply flavoured Chocolate Soufflé. Both are crafted with meticulous care to honour their traditional recipes, while offering a safe and satisfying experience for those with gluten sensitivities or celiac disease.
“We’ve always believed that food is for everyone, and now our menu truly reflects that,” said Yuri Angele, Owner of Brunetti Oro. “By introducing more vegan and gluten-free options, we’re hoping to embrace the diversity of our customers and make sure no one has to miss out on the flavours, textures, and memories that define Brunetti.”
The menu update goes well beyond desserts. Brunetti Oro is also bringing inclusivity to its savoury selection, with new plant-based and gluten-friendly options designed to satisfy all palates. Vegan cheese is now available on a variety of pizzas and pastas, and gluten-free gnocchi can be substituted in most pasta dishes, creating a seamless dining experience for those with dietary preferences or restrictions. The menu is a celebration of flavour, tradition, and innovation, ranging from a creamy vegan carbonara to a vibrant Margherita pizza topped with plant-based mozzarella.
The expansion arrives at a time when more Australians are looking for inclusive dining experiences that align with their lifestyles. According to recent data from IBISWorld, the demand for vegan and gluten-free products continues to rise steadily across Australia, particularly among Gen Z and Millennial consumers who are driving a shift toward more health-conscious and ethically minded eating habits.
Brunetti Oro’s new menu directly responds to this evolving demand, proving that dietary consideration and indulgence can and should go hand in hand. Whether customers are long-time patrons or first-time visitors, the experience promises to be as warm and delicious as ever.
The new vegan and gluten-free items are now available at both Brunetti Oro locations: Brunswick, Myer Melbourne and Flinders Lane. Guests can enjoy the new offerings in-store or explore the full menu online at www.brunettioro.com.au.
