Pasticceria Papa

Pasticceria Papa is an iconic Italian institution in Sydney’s Little Italy, Haberfield. Founded by Salvatore Papa, the business was established to share the rich culinary traditions of his native Sicily with the local community. For over thirty years, Salvatore and his team have handcrafted a range of authentic pastries, biscuits, and savory Italian delights that have earned the shop a dedicated following. The bakery is most famous for its legendary Baked Ricotta Cake, a secret recipe that has achieved cult status and is often cited as the best in Australia. Beyond the sweets, Pasticceria Papa represents the heart of Italian heritage in the Inner West, offering a vibrant atmosphere where generations of families gather for coffee and cannoli. The business has since expanded to multiple locations, but the Haberfield flagship remains the spiritual home of the brand, continuing to prioritize traditional techniques and high-quality ingredients that honor Salvatore’s original Sicilian vision.
