  • Cannoli Crawl Smiles

    Today’s Cannoli Crawl was packed with smiles! Our Cannoli Connoisseurs voted Polosud number 1… But it was a toss-up between numbers two and three (Caffe Palermo and/or Pasticceria Rocco). What do you think is the most wonderful cannolo in New York City (or at least on our tour)? Come on the Cannoli Crawl to find…

  • Fill Your Stomach And Heart On The New York Cannoli Crawl

    My favorite part of the Cannoli Crawl is when my guests are confident about what makes a good cannoli. By the end of our day-long tour of New York City’s Village and Little Italy, they have learned more than they ever thought they would about this beloved pastry to become true Cannoli Connoisseurs. A certificate…

  • Become A Cannoli Connoisseur

    Too often I’ve had people tell me that they don’t like cannoli. But to me, that’s like saying you don’t like red wine. Because like red wine, each cannolo (in Italian, the singular of cannoli) has a distinct flavor, texture, and ultimately, culinary experience that is dependent on how it’s made, the ingredients used, and…

  • It’s The People

    I love sharing Sicily with you. And the New York City walking and tasting tour I’ve created enables me to do that State side–as much as one can! Saturday’s Cannoli Crawl was a joyful experience of sights, sounds, tastes, and people, like our Experience Sicily client (for whom we designed a tour last year), Susan,…

  • Cannoli: Traditions Around The Table

    My breath has been taken away by this beautiful documentary film, Cannoli: Traditions Around the Table, made by Andrea and Francesco Cordaro of Fusion Box Films. I feel so blessed to have been a part of it as the cannoli expert. This evening was a private, industry screening. When available for general viewing online, I’ll…

  • Cannoli: The Gateway To My Heritage

    Cannoli were the gateway to my Italian and Sicilian heritage. Yup, the Cannoli Crawl and Experience Sicily stem from my love of this world-renowned pastry. Growing up, I thought everyone ate cannoli for holidays. I didn’t know it was an Italian dessert. Today, I know a lot about cannoli, and I love sharing an outstanding…

  • Pistachio Or Chocolate Chip

    How do you like yours? I am partial to pistachio. But of course, chocolate chip offers a bitter-sweet contrast that is irresistible! Decide for yourself which cannoli you prefer during one of the upcoming New York Cannoli Crawls! Registration is now live for six dates this fall. Spots are limited, so don’t wait! Oct. 13,…

  • A New Connolo in Town

    There’s a new cannolo in town, and today, on a research version of the New York City Cannoli Crawl, we delighted in its crispy, flakey shell and sheep’s milk ricotta cream imported from San Biagio Platini, Sicily. We’re getting ready to announce a handful of dates in October, November, and December, so stay tuned for…
