Pasticceria Papa @ Five Dock

Oh wow, I think I just had one of the best desserts in my life. The ricotta cheesecake with nutella was sweet but not overpowering, and had a richness that was consistent with every bite. Amazing.

Take away their signature ricotta cheesecake. Nothing like the regular New York cheesecake served in most cafe, the flavor and texture is kinda special. The ricotta cheese is heavy but also soft. The cinnamon add a delicate flavor. But the ricotta is really heavy, it's really easy to feel cloying. So I can't too much at one time.

Amazing sweets and great coffees! If you have sweet tooth or just feeling peckish papa's the place to go to. Its great as well if you want something to bring to a friend's place. Can be pricey but its worth if you only need to go once in a blue moon!

Located inside Norton Plaza, it's hard to walk past this cafe without being tempted by one of their many cakes, biscuits or pastries. The carrot and red velvet cakes were both nice and moist. Ricotta donut and cannoli had generous amount of filling and really delicious. Hot chocolate is good and coffee is ok. Ham and cheese toastie terrible flavourless and dripping in oil, was not able to be picked up as it was so soggy, soaking through many napkins to pat out the oil. Best to stick to sweets here as they are definitely the highlight.

You need to try the ricotta cheesecake! It's smooth, not too creamy, not too sweet, aromatic and soft with a biscuit-like base. <br/ <br/ It's not like the regular cheesecake where you feel sick, full and gross after a few bites. This cake is so delicious, I pretty much ate the whole slice to myself and wanted more after. <br/ <br/ Even though its a busy store, service is still fast and there's a nice little dining area upstairs. The arancini ball had a nice little crunch to the outside and was filled with cheese and mushroom. It had great texture, flavour and balance. <br/ <br/ I can't wait until next time I go to try the Nutella Ricotta cheesecake
