AUSTRALIA. Sydney Airport has opened the first stage of its new Terminal 3 dining precinct, welcoming much-loved Sydney favourite Maggio’s as the first brand to begin trading amid the domestic terminal’s major dining redevelopment.
The opening of Maggio’s – a renowned Italian pasticceria and café from Sydney’s North Shore – is neatly timed just ahead of the peak Christmas travel season.
Maggio’s Owner Andrew Maggio said: “Opening Maggio’s at Sydney Airport is an incredibly proud moment for us. This airport first allows us to share our favourites including bombolini, pastries, fresh pasta, pizza al taglio, and hearty sandwiches made from scratch, with a whole new audience.”
The launch of Maggio’s marks the start of a roll-out of 14 new food & beverage brands across coming months. The broader line-up includes a mix of local favourites and acclaimed hospitality names, adding fresh flavour and greater choice to the terminal’s F&B offer.

Sydney Airport Group Executive Commercial Mark Zaouk said: “Launching Maggio’s couldn’t come at a better time, with the busy Christmas travel period about to begin. We’re proud to see our vision for dining in T3 come to life, resetting the tone for our domestic terminal and introducing travellers to a new standard of food and dining experience.
