From a Food Trailer to a Shop Front, with a Nod to "Nonna"

Joe holding a plate of cannoli

Joe DiLisio, born and raised in Dandenong North, has opened a café in a nod to his ‘nonna’. Following her passing Joe wanted to reignite his grandmother’s passion for making cannoli. 

Joe’s story is one of starting small and growing with a passion for celebrating and sharing traditional Italian handmade pasta. His customers must agree. Joe’s business started from a food trailer, then grew as online orders took off. Joe has now boldly opened an outlet locally.

You can now get freshly baked authentic cannoli at Joey’s Cannoli’s in Birch Avenue, Dandenong North. They are experts when it comes to traditional handmade cannoli’s and other gourmet baked goods. Joe proudly told us how much he wanted to serve his community. He thought what better way than to open a shop in the area and share a piece of his heritage with locals.
