Truly, it is my fault for choosing to sit right across from a cannoli vendor and think that I could resist. But I am so happy, I did not.
I actually found Casa Cannoli near Kings Cross station and ordered a classico right after it was freshly piped. Sadly the candied orange was forgotten but it was not missed. The filling was sweet and smooth but you could tell it was a bit milder than american cannolis, which is nice. The shell was nice and crisp. Tender enough to fall down and feed the pigeons who were slowly surrounding me.
If you ever find them at their original location or at King's Cross, I think they'd make a wonderful sweet treat to pick you up! read more
