    Best cannoli hands down! They have a baked cannoli and I've never tried a baked one and it is absolutely delicious! Probably my new favorite cannoli place! All other ones I've had were too sweet, but the sweetness level was perfect 😍

    And so I came here because of the rave and comments online, what a bunch of lies. First I came across a young girl at the counter with no personality, not even a crack of a smile. I asked for prices and I felt like I was bothering the girl. I ordered the hazelnut cannoli, and I'm so upset that I didn't taste it at the store, because I would have returned it. The filling was not thick and kind of tasty, the shell was totally burnt and it was all I really tasted. I wouldn't go again. Who ever says these cannolys are the best, obviously only had them from the supermarket.

    Ricky approves. Come for the cannoli, stay for the gelato. The great-tasting & rotating flavors and nice people at the counter make Ricky dance with happiness.

    Best cannolis I've ever had, they actually get their shells from Palermo and the ricotta is made fresh. They even fill them to order unlike a lot of places I've been. They also have amazing home-made Gelato which on these hot days is perfect. The store is clean and service is friendly. I highly recommend checking them out

    I feel sorry for whoever thinks this was the best cannoli clearly haven’t been to local italian bakeries in New York or to Italia. And I mean not the fancy celeb pastry chef bakeries. First off the price for the cannolis were $9+, for that price I expected much more. The cannoli cream filling had NO flavor, only thing that saved it was the Italian sprinkle shell. What a shame. Sweet tooth craving? Move along else where, there’s other dessert spots near by. Highly disappointed.

    $18 for 2 cannolis is ridiculous and this place is not worth it the cream has a super gritty texture in my opinion not worth it also the lady at the front counter is rude and snappy but the young gentleman is nice and respectful !! Please improve on your customer service lady

    Best cannoli we ever had! Service was awesome as well. We were full and splitting a Cannoli. The guy even cut the cannoli in 2 for us without us asking. Truly THE KING! Thank you for the great cannoli and service.

    Wow, what a diamond in the rough. A lot of various tastes and flavors in the form of Cannoli deserts. They also have ice cream available as well. Server was great and the Cannoli was delicious!

    Definitely deserves the title of being one of America's best. Very tasty pistachio canoli (and HUGE!) though a bit pricey. Came on Tuesday and the place was quiet...almost every shop in Little Italy was closed too. Will try other dessert next time.

    The young man at the register was anything BUT cheerful. Rude, condescending, snotty, need I continue? We went in planning to buy a dozen cannoli, gelato, and 4 coffees. Possibly more. Instead I got the least expensive coffee (which was $5 for a 6 oz. cup - it was truly delish) and we left. Went a few stores away and encountered another cannoli place where the service was much more pleasant. Probably a decent Wednesday order for such a small shop.

    After eating a Philly, we need dessert right? WHAAALE, that's what happened lol. We were "stuffed" from Geno's next door, however who can say no to dessert? Not EYE. Anyway.. I never had a cannoli eveeer, so this place did set the bar for other places. The prices weren't bad at all and I was happy about it. I tried a medium cannoli and it tasted so sweet. The cream was perfect. I enjoyed how the employers answered questions and also had different suggestions. My friends that came with me got gelato. I just . . couldn't pass up a cannoli! If in the area again, I def will be back.

    Complete joke staff and prices. The staff we had walked passed up 23 times (from when I started counting) without asking what we would like to order when we obviously where ready to order as we where right on the counter for the fillings. Then we ordered what we wanted and they looked terrible. They put no effort into it. I wish I could post a picture of it. Anyways the staff after we finally asked to be served where really disrespectful and argued with us on how it's not their fault. We then checked out and get this... 4 canolis are 40$ NOT WORTH IT AT ALL. The nuetella which is the flavor I had was just chocolate. Not only is their no prices any where for the product your buying but it's so over priced. I was at your store Sunday July 28th at 11:30 They also where saying they where closing when it was 11:30.

    I stopped here on a business trip.... 2 times in a week. This place is deliciously amazing. I highly suggest the hazlenut cannoli. The gelatos are amazing. Whole pieces of fruit mixed into it. I loved this place. I highly suggest if you’re in the area you go here. It was all delicious.

  • 5/5 Erica K. 1 year ago on Google
    A wide variety of amazing cannolis. s Stop in and try amazing flavors!!

  • 5/5 Sabrina Y. 1 year ago on Google
    The amaretto gelato was to die for!! So delicious and authentic, the shop was clean and staff were friendly. Will definitely be back to try more :)

  • 5/5 Renee W. 1 year ago on Google
    The best cannoli! We got cookies and cream. After the Philly steaks we wanted to split one and they kindly cut it for us. Definitely worth the stop and highly recommended!

  • 5/5 Victoria B. 1 year ago on Google
    Loved the place, the coffee was excellent, it has the best cannolis I’ve ever had. The ladies that work there are super nice, I left my purse there and when I came back for it she was super nice about it and helpful. If you go there you have to try de pistachio cannoli, it really is the best thing ever

  • 3/5 Yeni T. 1 year ago on Google
    My partners enjoyed this place, but in my opinion I can't say the same. The pistachio ice cream didn’t taste like pistachio and the chocolate one was quite bland. You definitely need to tray. The staff was very polite.

  • 5/5 Jessica K. 1 year ago on Google
    From Virginia and saw this place when I pulled up to Geno’s. Hands down the best cannoli I have ever had. Huge and they definitely overfill their cannoli’s so you definitely get your moneys worth! The woman at the register was very friendly and polite! Definitely give them a try! There’s so many options!

  • 5/5 Savannah S. 11 months ago on Google
    first time trying cannoli and this one was perfect! I got a plain cannoli, but they have a variety of flavors to choose from if you want something more adventurous

  • 5/5 Benjamin K. 5 years ago on Google
    The best and only cannoli I ever had! Fresh and hits the spot like no other sweets out there. I would recommend getting the mini-sized cannolis of one of each delicious flavour if you want to sample all of em!

  • 5/5 Melissa W. 8 months ago on Google
    This was an awesome experience! The person that waited on us was so friendly! We wish his boxing career all the best! The cannoli's were decadent! Rich cream and a crunchy shell. We got a reeses and a chocolate. The coffee gellato was so bold, we got a caffeine buzz. It's definitely a place we're going back to!

  • 5/5 Todd P. 8 months ago on Google
    Great service. Even better cannolis, wide variety to chose from. Have several other Italian desserts as well. Nice little store with great food! Highly recommend!
