“We did a side by side taste test today vs the semi-famous Victoria cannoli from north beach in San Francisco. Both are good, but Romolo’s really is far better. All three people who tasted both agreed that it wasn’t super close. Romolo’s have a clear and delightful flavor, a better shell, and a hint of citrus in the filling that makes it even better. You can’t go wrong with either, but you can go right.“

Chocolate Ice Cream

“Coldstone @375 2nd Ave, San Mateo, CA

This is the nearest branch to South City after the Junipero and San Bruno locations closed. There is ample parking available, and parking is free after 6:00 PM.
The restaurant is clean and well-maintained. Although the dining area is a bit small, it did not feel crowded when I visited shortly after noon. The facilities were clean, the serving sizes were good, and the prices were reasonable. There is also a code required to access the restroom.“
