In the end of an era for Melbourne’s latte sippers, Italian cafe chain Brunetti today announced the business would be splitting into two different arms: Brunetti Classico and Brunetti Oro. Brothers Fabio and Yuri Angelé will assume sole ownership of each arm.
A Melbourne byword for strong espresso, proper gelato and elaborately decorated cakes packed into red carry-boxes, Brunetti’s reach expanded well beyond its original Lygon Street location that Piero Brunetti opened in 1974.
