Italian bakeries & pasticcerie in Melbourne

Our guide

Post-war migration made Italian baking part of the Australian mainstream. In Carlton, Leichhardt, Haberfield, Norwood and Five Dock, family pasticcerie still fill trays with cannoli, sfogliatelle, cassata and amaretti, and bakeries sell focaccia, ciabatta and pane di casa by the loaf.

These are the bakeries and pastry shops identified as Italian by their name or cuisine. Many “continental” cake shops share the same roots and appear on the European page. The list is built from each shop’s name and the details recorded in open map data. If a specific requirement matters (allergies, certification), call the shop before you go.
