Meet Paolo Gatto
From Sicily’s Pasticcerie to Sydney’s Markets
The passionate founder bringing authentic Sicilian pastry traditions to Australia, one cannolo at a time.
A Sicilian Heritage
Born and raised in Sicily, Paolo Gatto grew up surrounded by the aromas of traditional pasticcerie and the warmth of family kitchens. His grandmother’s cannoli recipe, passed down through four generations, became the foundation of his passion for authentic Sicilian pastry.
After training in some of Sicily’s most prestigious bakeries, Paolo Gatto brought his expertise to Australia in 2012, determined to share the real taste of his homeland with a new continent.

Beyond Business
Despite managing a growing wholesale operation serving hundreds of businesses across Australia, Paolo Gatto still wakes up early every weekend to prepare fresh cannoli at Sydney’s markets.
Through SYDCILY Academy, Paolo Gatto now shares his knowledge with professional bakers, creating video tutorials and guides that preserve and spread authentic Sicilian techniques across Australia.
"I want every Australian baker to have access to the same quality ingredients my grandmother used in Sicily. That's the mission."
— Paolo Gatto, Founder of SYDCILY
