The cornetto's origins are debated, with some tracing it back to the Austrian Kipferl. The Kipferl arrived in Italy, specifically Venice, during the Austrian rule and evolved into what is now known as the Cornetto. It quickly became a popular breakfast pastry throughout Italy, adapting regional variations.

The Cornetto offers a delicate balance of buttery, slightly sweet dough with a variety of fillings that contribute to its overall flavor profile.
The dough itself has a subtle sweetness and a rich, buttery flavor derived from the butter used in its preparation. Common fillings include crema pasticcera (custard cream), marmellata (fruit jam, often apricot or cherry), and cioccolato (chocolate cream). The fillings introduce distinct flavors, such as the smooth, vanilla-infused sweetness of custard, the tangy fruitiness of jam, or the rich, intense flavor of chocolate. The pastry may also be topped with granulated sugar or a glaze for added sweetness and texture.
