About Impasto Forno Antico

Impasto Forno Antico is a family-run Italian bakery, café and gelateria in Avondale Heights, in Melbourne’s north-west. Open since 2014 and operated by second- and third-generation bakers Armando and Alessio Villani, it’s known for traditional hand-moulded ciabatta, focaccia, sourdoughs, pizza, panini, pastries, coffee and house-made gelato. The bakery-café operates from 157–159 Military Road, Avondale Heights VIC 3034, and can be contacted on (03) 9331 1111; the business is also active on social media and lists its site as impastofornoantico.com.au.([broadsheet.com.au](https://www.broadsheet.com.au/melbourne/cafes/impasto-forno-antico?utm_source=openai))

A card charge related to this business usually comes from an in-person purchase at the bakery or café (for example coffee, pastries, bread, pizza, gelato or a sit-down meal). Typical transaction amounts can range from a few Australian dollars for a single coffee or pastry, to $20–$60+ for multiple items, family pizzas or dine-in meals, and higher for larger takeaway or catering-style orders. In some cases the charge may reference the owning entity rather than the shopfront name, so you might see descriptors such as “IMPST FORNO ANTICO AVONDALE HEIGHTS VIC”, “ASCESA PTY LTD” or similar variations on your statement, depending on your bank and card network. Larger or repeated amounts may reflect group dining, multiple same-day visits, or a prepaid bakery or catering order.

If you don’t recognise a charge, start by checking any receipts, email confirmations or mobile wallet history from the date of the transaction, and think about whether you visited an Italian bakery or café in Avondale Heights around that time. Compare the transaction date, amount and location with your bank’s details, then contact Impasto Forno Antico directly on (03) 9331 1111 or by visiting the shop at 157–159 Military Rd, Avondale Heights to request a copy of the receipt or clarification about the sale.([cybo.com](https://www.cybo.com/AU-biz/impasto-forno-antico_3V?utm_source=openai)) If you still believe the charge is incorrect after speaking with the venue (for example a duplicated transaction or wrong amount), your next step should be to raise a dispute with your bank or card issuer, providing any receipts or messages from the business as supporting evidence.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does my bank statement show ASCESA PTY LTD or a variation instead of “Impasto Forno Antico”?

Impasto Forno Antico trades under a corporate entity, so some banks use the registered business name (for example, an entity such as ASCESA PTY LTD) rather than the shopfront name. This can appear in different formats, often alongside the suburb and state (e.g. AVONDALE HEIGHTS VIC). If the transaction date and amount line up with a visit to the bakery-café at 157–159 Military Rd, it is very likely the charge is from Impasto Forno Antico.

What are typical charge amounts from Impasto Forno Antico?

Single-item purchases such as a coffee or pastry are typically in the range of AUD $4–$10, while a small selection of breads or a light snack might total around $10–$25. A sit-down meal, multiple pizzas or cakes for a family or group commonly runs between $25 and $80, depending on what is ordered. Larger charges may relate to bulk bread orders, celebration cakes or small catering-style pickups arranged directly with the bakery.

Can Impasto Forno Antico place a temporary or pending charge on my card?

For standard in-store purchases, your bank may initially show the transaction as a pending or ‘authorisation’ amount before it settles, but this should match the final bill once processed. If you used a card to confirm a phone order or a larger custom order, your bank may briefly display an authorisation that later adjusts when the final amount is charged. Any authorisation holds normally drop off within a few business days if they are not completed; if you see a hold that does not clear, contact your bank for assistance.

How can I get a copy of my receipt or tax invoice for a charge from Impasto Forno Antico?

You can request a copy of your receipt or tax invoice by contacting Impasto Forno Antico directly on (03) 9331 1111 or by visiting the bakery at 157–159 Military Rd, Avondale Heights VIC 3034.([cybo.com](https://www.cybo.com/AU-biz/impasto-forno-antico_3V?utm_source=openai)) Provide the exact transaction date, approximate time, the last four digits of your card and the charged amount so staff can look it up in their point‑of‑sale records. If you paid via a mobile wallet, you may also be able to view a basic receipt in your Apple Pay, Google Wallet or similar app.

Does Impasto Forno Antico run subscriptions or recurring billing for bread or coffee?

Impasto Forno Antico primarily operates as a walk-in bakery, café and gelateria, so charges are usually one-off payments for food and drinks made on the day of purchase. They do not commonly advertise subscription-style coffee plans or automatic recurring home deliveries; any repeat charges on your statement are more likely to be separate visits or multiple card taps. If you believe you’ve been set up on a standing order or ongoing account, speak with the bakery directly to confirm what has been arranged and how billing works.

How do I query or request a refund for a charge I believe is incorrect?

First, contact Impasto Forno Antico on (03) 9331 1111 or in person and explain the issue, such as a duplicated transaction or an amount that doesn’t match your receipt. Bring or send a copy of your bank statement (with sensitive details obscured) and any receipts so staff can reconcile the payment in their system. If they agree an error was made, they can usually process a refund back to the original card. If you are unable to resolve the matter directly, lodge a dispute with your bank or card issuer, who may investigate and reverse the charge if it is found to be unauthorised or incorrect.

How can I contact Impasto Forno Antico about a mystery charge on my card?

The most direct way is to call the bakery on (03) 9331 1111 during their normal trading hours, or visit the venue at 157–159 Military Rd, Avondale Heights VIC 3034.([scoop.com.au](https://scoop.com.au/places/impasto-forno-antico/?utm_source=openai)) When you contact them, have your statement handy with the transaction date, time (if available), amount, and the last four digits of your card. You can also check their website at impastofornoantico.com.au or their social media profile for any updated contact details or special ordering arrangements that might explain your charge.([impastofornoantico.com.au](https://impastofornoantico.com.au/?utm_source=openai))

Why do I see more than one Impasto Forno Antico transaction on the same day?

Multiple same-day transactions can occur if your party split the bill across several cards, if you made separate purchases (for example, morning coffee and pastries, then an afternoon bread or pizza run), or if you were recharged after adjusting your order. Sometimes an initial pending authorisation and the final settled charge can briefly appear as two separate items until the authorisation drops off. If you suspect a duplicate, compare times and amounts and then contact the bakery or your bank to confirm whether both payments actually settled.
