Mezzapica Cakes – Leichardt NSW Restaurant Review

We went here essentially after my partner eavesdropped on two of her bosses talking about their separate weekends cycling to Leichardt and having their mini cannoli. Sadly and conveniently we don’t own bicycles.

We had the ricotta, vanilla, and chocolate mini cannoli ($2.20 each). The pastry portions are pre-baked, with the cannoli piped in with filling to order to minimise sogginess. The pastry was crisp at the time of eating and the ricotta filling, the least sweet of the three, was my favourite. I don’t have any prior experience with cannoli though, so I can’t actually say if they were good or not. I am told by general consensus, though, that they are considered good.

I do have prior experience with Portuguese tarts ($3.80), however, and Mezzapica’s was a bit sweeter than I would’ve liked. The pastry was also neither flaky nor crispy, and overall not something I’d want to have again.

At least they are close to Harris Farm.
