Seriously. All hand-piped to order, and the shells are glorious, delicate things. Who knew you could find such things so far out on Long Island?

I'm 32 and had my first Canoli last year in Boston. I'm an actor from California but now in NYC (on Broadway now Yeah in the 25 Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee) and when I came here I was in search of a great canoli. I found a couple but none were hand piped and they were not very good but I did find a decent one in Food Emporium on the 49th on the corner of 8ave. But thanks to you my search goes on to all the places you have mentioned throughout your blog. My first place is Rocco's. But I do have a question what do you think of Michaels Bakery in Brooklyn? I was planning a trip there today because it's down the street from my place. Thanks again. Dave,

Sometime around my 14th birthday, I went to visit my brother at Amherst College, and went out to eat at an Italian restaurant called Carmelina’s. There, for the first time in my young life, I discovered what cannoli was. Josh and his roommates ordered them, and I watched as the waiter squeezed fresh ricotta from the tube into the waiting shell. I had one bite and I LOVED it. But I didn’t really start eating cannoli seriously until a couple years later at the Giaquinta household of Potomac, Maryland. [...] [...] Yesterday was my 28th birthday.

The girl at the counter confirmed that they make the filling every day, and pipe the connoli to order. It was GOOD. La Salle Bakery, 3139 East Tremont Ave @ Coddington Ave, Bronx. Also what do you think about Anna Mia's in Middle Village? I haven't been there but supposedly their hand-piped connoli is good. Dunno if it's up to your Sicilian standards, though, cutter.
