Why Choose Il Pasticcino?
Il Pasticcino is a family-run Italian pasticceria where Sicilian cannoli (filled to order), almond biscuits and traditional sweets are made fresh daily alongside hand-baked bread and focaccia.

About Il Pasticcino
Il Pasticcino is an Italian pasticceria in Reservoir, Victoria. The kind of place where the bread is baked old-fashioned style and the cabinet is full of traditional sweets. One customer has been coming back regularly over many years.
The cannoli get the most love, Sicilian-style and filled to order, and one local had the team build a cannoli tower for a 60th birthday that disappeared before the singing finished. Almond biscuits, vanilla slices and a pistachio croissant that one regular calls divine appear on the menu, along with a traditional Italian continental cake that is hard to track down elsewhere in Melbourne. On the savoury side, they make ciabatta, focaccia, pizza and arancini on site, and sausage rolls are a customer favourite. Everything is made fresh without preservatives, and the bread is reasonably priced.
Coffee is a quiet strength here. They roast their own boutique blend, Buondi Coffee, on the premises. You can dine in, take away or have orders delivered, and they take custom cake orders and do catering for bigger occasions. The entrance is wheelchair-accessible, and they accept cards and tap-and-go payments.
What people mention most is the welcome. Staff are described as friendly, kind and helpful, and one long-time customer singled out Maria. It is not a big, glamorous cafe. It is an old-school shop, the sort that makes you feel like family. One visitor was unhappy about how bread was handled at the counter, and another found a noise above the entrance distracting. It is worth speaking up about allergies when you order.
If you are looking for a bakery in Reservoir for bread, pastries or a proper Italian coffee, it is a solid pick. Check the hours before you head over, as they vary through the week and the shop is closed one day.
