I love cannolis. Not the kind carelessly fried with whipped cream inside, but the kind made with love and real ricotta filling. Maybe it's because half of my mother's family descended of Southern Italy or maybe it's just because they taste good, but I can't walk through Little Italy without lusting after a cannoli.
I heard about Stuffed Artisan Cannolis and thought that the multitude of flavors sounded fun. I tried the Pistachio, Peanut Butter and Birthday Cake varieties. They were indeed novel and I appreciated that, but unfortunately I am unable to say that I loved any of them. The Pistachio wasn't very pistachio-y and the Peanut Butter failed to impress as well. The Birthday Cake was probably my favorite of the three and it came with cute little sprinkles peppered over the filling.
But they were adorable and attractive, and that counts for something. Side note: their online flavor list includes tantalizing options like Limoncello, Lemongrass, Curry Chocolate and Thai Iced Tea. I did not try them therefore I am unable to vouch for them, but they sure sound innovative. They also have an Eggnog and a Pannetone for the upcoming Holidays. 'Tis the Season!
