Young fella at the counter was too busy talking to his friend instead of taking our order. His friend had to cut the conversation to tell him “to help the customers first then we’ll talk” The cannolis were good but overpriced in my opinion! If you’ve never tried them before, I’d recommend! Just don’t think I’d pay almost $40 for 6 cannolis 😅
This place doesn’t look like a place trying to impress anyone. It looks like a shop that has been doing one thing long enough to know what shortcuts ruin. The counter is small, the room unadorned, the kind of space where quality hides in plain sight because the people making it assume you’ll figure it out on your own.

Cannoli demand precision. If the shell softens, you failed. If the filling weeps, you rushed. If the ricotta is grainy or heavy or over-sugared,...
It’s probably a good thing I don’t live closer…I can’t get enough of the cannolis! I like the plain cannolis but the wife likes the chocolate dipped ones. Can’t go wrong with the pistachio topping but will have to try with Maraschino cherry on the next visit (was told this is the traditional topping).
