Pasticceria Tamborrino

In the bustling Italian community of western suburbs' Five Dock, Roman pastry chef Vincenzo is right at home. With wife Cristina, their namesake bakery Pasticceria Tamborrino serves well-priced cakes, sweets and savouries. Also a cafe, enjoy a fabulous and fun sfogliatelle pastry. Upon first bite, it's crisp, paper thin layers fan out like an accordion. Afterward, cruise down Great North Road with its continental delis galore.
