⚠️ The trap
In Italian a 'cornetto' at the bar is a croissant-shaped pastry, not a musical instrument. For the brass instrument use 'cornetta'. The ice cream cone meaning does overlap.
To say "a brass musical instrument; also a type of ice cream cone" in Italian:
cornetto (the ice cream cone meaning overlaps)
"cornetto" in English means:
a croissant (pastry); also an ice cream cone
