They've got a perfectly crisp shell, and a chocolate-chip-studded ricotta filling that is effortlessly creamy, with just the right balance of flavour. Even my Italian nonna swears she couldn't whip up a better version. Definitely worth the drive to the city's west end.

Melissa, Commisso's is worth the trip any day. Plus, they have a yummy lunch counter in the back that makes a pretty tasty veal on a bun, too. And Dave, I am very intrigued by the thought of cannoli crepes. I'm not really sure what to think about that. I'll definitely have to try them next time I'm in the area. Thanks guys!

I live nearby Terroni, and will ask about these next time I stop by! I'd thought of them when I planned the article, but wanted to try and keep it to bakeries rather than restos (excluding the Dip from Sheryl's initial challenge that is). I hear that Black Skirt and Libretto also make excellent cannolis. Danielle, thanks for the recommendation.

I believe one of the mothers made them. I never 'got' cannoli before, as any I'd tasted up to that point were always stale in both taste and texture. A complete letdown. Not those at Terroni - they were crisp and light, yet decadently creamy and flavourful. Pure heaven.
