Located in Footscray, Cavallero's is a hidden gem that has been owned by the same Sicilian family for decades. The small shop offers a truly authentic Italian experience with freshly baked pastries and strong, delicious coffee. The cannoli, filled to order with fresh ricotta or pastry cream, are a must-try. Visitors rave about the crispy pastry shells and whipped ricotta that is just the right amount of sweet. In addition to the cannoli, Cavallero's offers a variety of other delicious treats including Sicilian biscuits and chocolates. The family-run business provides excellent service and a warm atmosphere, making every visit a memorable experience. Overall, Cavallero's is a must-visit destination for anyone looking for a taste of Sicily in Melbourne, T Cavallaro & Sons Pasticceria typically has an average rating of 4.5.
