from Google"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)."
"Having grown up in NJ, so close to NYC I am a snob when it comes to Italian desserts. Could not believe finding this cannoli treasure on the West Coast tucked away on 37th St, off El Camino Real. I remember a few years ago passing it a few times but it was never open when I wanted to go in. So on Good Friday, when my co-workers and I had a Mexican lunch next door, we walked in to find it open and ready for our taking! I was in heaven. The aroma of freshly baked shells just tickled my nose. There was a crowd ahead of us which gave me time to check things out. I picked up an ice-cream cannoli (coffee ice-cream with toffee toppings - tasted so divine). I tasted their berry and vanilla ice-cream which if I wasn't so full from lunch, would've picked up a cup. Then when it was my turn, the lady behind the counter talked me into getting the DIY cannoli of 6 for $36. I had 3 chocolate filled shells, 3 regular, a small bag of mini chocolate chip toppings, and a HUGE baker's bag of cannoli cream. She said to keep the bag of cream refrigerated and leave the shells in the box (which I placed the whole box in a big ziploc bag to keep fresh). I wanted to serve the cannolis to my family 2 days later. Fast forward to 2 days later, I bit into my DIY cannoli and just about died with delight! The shells were still crispy and the ricotta cheese filling was creamy, not too sweet with a slight hint of vanilla. My family loved their treat; my family loves me! Haha"
"Super flavourful and fresh cannolis and spumoni ice cream! At first the business looked empty, little place to sit, a little 90's/retro ambiance, could be better taken care of, fridge shelves in the front were empty, later found out the spumoni, tiramisu, popsicles, almond cookies were in the fridges inside to keep them fresh! The filling and topping options of the cannolis are few but well executed. I would absolutely come back for cannolis and ice cream again!"
"Craving an Italian dessert, we were led to this place. Cute small shop, friendly people. Ice cream and desserts in the fridge section, cannolis on the counter. You get choices for each cannoli. Plain or chocolate inside cone. Original, pistachio or chocolate filling. Sides of chocolate chip, pistachio, cherries. It is crispy and flavorful. It would have been great with an espresso or tea but so yummy."
"A nice little authentic Italian dessert shop with a long history of family ownership. This is my first time here, and I met another very kind customer that give us so many great suggestions. I ended up having a regular shell + pistachio filling + pistachio & toffee garnish. To be honest, I didn't find it to be my cup of tea. However, I still decided to give this place a 4 star because what I saw in the shop is filled with love and 2 generations of hard work."
