Solid cannoli! Just a bit pricey but understandable considering it is Eataly and it is inside a casino resort. Tried the original and the pistachio and gotta say, pistachio was the better of the two for me. Bomboloni unfortunately was a disappointment but gelato makes up for it. In the morning, the line is here shorter for coffee/lattes compared to the other stands inside Eataly. Also possible to order online via the QR code that's posted on the side. read more

Don't skip the cannolis at Eataly. They are exceptional, and you can't go wrong with the original. The shell is crispy and the filling is nice and creamy. Our group all got one each. read more

Cannoli e Bomboloni - Desserts Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Cannolis are one of the most common Italian desserts found all throughout the world and especially in Los Angeles where, although we lack a "Little Italy" of sorts, plenty of Italian bakeries and delis exist to serve our needs. Sadly, a majority of those cannolis are simply not good, either by the fault of the restaurateur making them below standard, or said restaurateur purchasing pre-made cannoli shells and creams therefore selling below-standard cannolis. After the disappointment we had with the baba ah rhum upstairs, we hoped the cannolis would be a saving grace for Eataly. As I'm sure you have seen, the four stars posted atop may tell you the result before you finish reading this review. The cannoli shells are lined up on the glass display just begging you to order them. The menu is small, to the point, but perfect for what you want and need. The cream isn't filled into the shells until you order so you know it will be fresh. Today we ordered the tradizionale or "traditional" and pistachio cannolis. I think the problem with most cannolis stems from two parts - the shell and the cream(obvious, right?) Well here's the deal - when the shell is undercooked, it's not crispy enough and when it's not prepared right it's not airy or light, where as when it's overcooked it can be burnt or just too hard. As for the cream, most times the filling is just bland, boring, and does not offer that rich excitement for such a simple dessert. The tradizionale is made with sheep's milk ricotta which is truly a world's departure from cow's milk ricotta. It's dense, rich, decadent, creamy, and the sweetness is just right to make it perfectly balanced with the somewhat savory shell. I almost asked for chocolate chips (typically my favorite way to order cannolis) but I am glad I didn't because this cannoli definitely does not need it and the true flavors of the ricotta come out nicely. The pistachio filling can be distinctly realized because it uses the cow's milk ricotta BUT that doesn't deter your taste buds from enjoying every might of the milder, softer cream paired with the nutty, savory, almost salty pistachios mixed in. Exceptional cannolis that will surely surprise you. read more

Update: I called the eatery to let them know about the spoiled cream they served. I wanted to let them know before someone got sick since my niece and nephew were going to eat them too! And they were most apologetic. And even offered a refund. Which was a nice gesture. I will go back and try it again. But if it is spoiled again then the relationship is over. Ok i use to come here a lot to get their cannoli and gelato. It's amazing. Always had to wait in line to get it, and be patient with the amount of people just wanting to get one. Now with the pandemic, I don't know if it's because there is less people or I don't know what.. I just got chocolate, pistachio, and original. The original is still great and creamy. However, the chocolate and pistachio was rotten!! It has gone bad. It was sour! That's just disgusting! One...ok...but two flavors?! Wow. The quality of this place has gone down read more

Cannoli e Bomboloni - Two has gone bad!!! It's rotten cream - Desserts Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Unfortunately a let down. I was excited for all eataly had to offer and planned to get a cannoli after dinner from cannoli e bambolini. They offer gelato as well. We went in the early afternoon around 4 pm. Still, after waiting in line and ordering a classic cannoli we were told they were out. I asked for a different flavor and she said they were out. I asked for another flavor and she said they were out. At that point I asked ok what DO you have. She said only chocolate. Was she going to let me run through the whole menu, lol? We finally got our $6 cannoli and we're deeply underwhelmed. The shell was not crunchy and was clearly sitting out all day in a moist restaurant. The filling was rich we were all done after one bite. The service was deeply rude and the cannoli underwhelming. Gonna have to pass next time. read more

Cannoli e Bomboloni - Ordering area - Desserts Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Would I eat cannoli and bomboloni for breakfast? You bet I would! We descended upon Eataly on a quiet Thursday morning in early January, post holiday and post opening month hype. I had a plan, we arrived starving, so we went down to the second floor of Eataly to have coffee and sweets before going back upstairs to shop and eventually have lunch. I took my Italian friend with me and all she kept saying was, "OMG, OMG, OMG...". Lavazza & I provided the morning coffee and, in divide and conquer strategy, my friend was tasked with cannoli and bomboloni retrieval. I'll preface by saying that I have never had a "fresh" cannoli in Los Angeles...and in restaurants it's never crisp and sometimes a bit soggy or else super refrigerated. Here it is filled fresh to order and so the outer shell stays crisp and crunchy and the filling is room temperature. It's amazing! You'll taste the difference right away. The ricotta filled is a bargain at $3.80. The flavored choices, each $4.20, are: pistachio, honey/caramel, chocolate, tiramisu and hazelnut. We had the hazelnut and it was incredible. The bomboloni we had to wait for because it was being fried fresh! OMG indeed. The cream filled is $4.80 and came warm and oozing with just the right amount of cream filling. If we hadn't had a lunch reservation, I dare say we'd have never left the second floor. I need to go back to try the flavored fillings, strawberry jam or apricot jam for $4.80. You may also get a plain unfilled bomboloni just dusted with sugar for $2.80. These are both addictive. You need to go... Yelp Challenge 2018: 3/100 read more

Cannoli e Bomboloni - Desserts Near Me - Los Angeles, California

The dessert spot at Eataly on Level 2, in between the cooking school ("La Scuola") and the coffee shop ("Lavazza Caffe"). They serve cannolis, bomboloni, and many flavors of gelato! I ordered a bombolone (solo) with custard filling, and it provided an amazing sugar high! Highly recommend going downstairs after your shopping/eating upstairs on Level 3. read more

Cannoli e Bomboloni - Amazing bombolone, next to the bag it was served in - Desserts Near Me - Los Angeles, California

After dining at Il Pesce Cucina for lunch, it was dessert time! What trip to Eataly wouldn't be complete without cannolis! I never had a bomboloni before, and so this was my first trying it. Originally, Tora M., Isobel L., and myself were going to have cannolis and bombolonis for breakfast, however, they didn't open until 11 a.m., on the Sunday when we had gone. Therefore, we came back here after lunch for dessert. We ended up sampling just one cannoli and one bomboloni, before heading back upstairs to go shop at Eataly (and of course, to burn it off too, lol!). Parking: Mall parking, and they don't validate anywhere in Eataly! Located right next to LavAazza Coffee, Cannoli e Bomboloni is a beautiful shop that sells freshly, hot baked bombolonis and cannolis with generous piping of your favorite flavors. In addition, they also share their space with IL Gelato that sells gelatos. Tora got the cannoli, I got the bomboloni, while Isobel secured a table for us. Afterwards, Isobel and I got coffee drinks from LavAazza. She got a Correcto with Sambuca and I got a Bicerin. Isobel also did a great job of cutting up the desserts evenly amongst the three of us. We joked that since she's a Mom, she's tasked with cutting it, and true to her motherly nature, she sliced it evenly and neatly for us, lol! $4.80 Bomboloni (Round, Fried Doughnut) - vanilla flavored. With so many yummy flavors to choose from, I wanted to get them all, but wanted to place myself so that I can have another opportunity to come back here again, hehe! Tora recommended the apricot jam flavor, but, I was bummed that they didn't have that in stock. Therefore, I settled on the vanilla flavor. The bomboloni itself was quite tasty! Not as sweet as an American doughnut. The fried dough was lightly dusted with sugar on the outside, while the inside was soft, fresh and fluffy. The custard itself was pipped generously inside, and not overly sweet either. It tasted a little bland and wasn't as aromatic as vanilla should be. I wouldn't get this flavor again. Afterwards, we tried the $4.20 Hazelnut Cannoli (Specialty Flavor). Between eating the Hazelnut flavored and the vanilla flavored bomboloni, clearly, the cannoli won. Generously piped with hazelnut flavor, it tasted sweet, light, nutty and had a really aromatic scent to it. The cannoli itself was thick, hearty and easy to bite into. Best of all, when Isobel split the cannoli for the three of us, it cut through the plastic knife with the greatest of ease, and the shell didn't break into tiny pieces either! Overall, I would come back here again to try out the other cannoli and bomboloni flavors. Had we not had lunch upstairs, we would've probably stayed down here for a while, lol! read more

To be honest, I've never had a cannoli in my life until today, and if all cannolis tasted like this, the. I've definitely been missing out! In the past cannolis just appeared too sweet since there's so much thick creamy filling. I always had the impression that it would be sweetness overload and there was no way I would ever finish one. I decided to give it a try for the first time, and wow! It's not too sweet at all! It was perfect! Also the outside cannoli gives it a very nice crunch to every bite! Pleasantly surprised, and I ate it all! I mean, one cannoli in a sitting is plenty enough, and I couldn't come here everyday, but I would definitely come back! read more

Average cannolis. We had the pistachio, original/chocolate chip, and tiramisu. All were good, but the pistachio had the least amount of flavor. The original with chocolate chips was by far the best. The shell was the perfectly crispy, but sadly didn't have much flavor! I was expecting a little bit more. Don't get me wrong, I loved that the cannolis weren't TOO sweet, but these just unfortunately lacked any distinguishing flavor. read more
