I've developed this odd fascination with cannoli ever since I watched Godfather III. There's this scene where Don Altobello, one of the antagonists, devours cannolis in this dark theatre watching an opera. I knew they were poisoned and that he's going to meet his inevitable end soon, but I gatta say he really ate that shit good - so good that I started wondering maybe he died because of the flavours exploding in his mouth and not the poison. I still remember that scene clear as day. The way he chows down like a hungry hippo with pieces of the shell flying off with every bite. Finishing it off with an aggressive finger sucking trying to get all the flavours out. The way I see it, he's the OG mukbang star, a true A+ actor. RIP Eli Wallach - THIS ONE'S FOR YOU!
I babbled a bit but the point is T Cavallaro & Sons delivered. Their Fresh Ricotta Cannoli was mad proper. I could literally taste this thick dense chunkiness of fresh ricotta with every bite. Not to mention, shell was crunchy just like how I expected it to be. As if that wasn't enough, I was served by a lovely nonna which just completed the experience. Low key sad that I didn't grab more. If you happen to know a single Italian lady (preferably, from Sicilly because that's where Don Corleone's from) with a secret cannoli recipe, hollaaa. I'm legit down to settle if I can eat this everyday.
Holds a candle to cannolis in Italy itself.
Unlike many bakeries, here they fill each cannoli to order, keeping them crispy and flakey. The fillings are perfect in flavour and texture, whether you get ricotta (which you should) or choc/vanilla pastry cream. Just so ridiculously delicious.
The chocolate/vanilla custard and ricotta cannoli are great. Friendly service. Will definitely be back
The most delicious cannoli ever tasted!
freshly piped delicious cannoli
Got to try the fresh cannoli from T Cavallaro & Sons thanks to my boss bringing a selection into the office. The mini cannoli had a wonderful crunch and the filling wasn’t super sweet like others I have tried with can be a little overpowering. Up there in my top two cannoli in Melbourne.
After a long building inspection two surveyors took a well earned stop here to grab cannoli being Sicilian I of course had the ricotta and the calabrese the custard. The shell was perfectly made in house and filling excellent. Accompanied by a cAfe this place certainly earned our trust and after the sustenance enabled us to solve the hard stuff. Grazie e complimenti
On my list for a long time as being one of the best cannoli in Melbourne! This was a good one indeed , the outer casing was so crunchy and the filling was not too sweet !
Hands down the best cannolis in Melbourne; the ricotta cannolis and custard/chocolate cannolis are restrained, in the sense the flavours aren’t overpowering, offering the right amount of sweetness; and you can taste the ricotta. The cannoli shells are sensational! Frangipani tart is also fantastic; great flavours and not dry, which is important. Next time will try rum baba - forget any other cannoli store, even if it’s a fair hike to reach.
Take a trip to Nonna's house.
Great lost in time place to grab a quick coffee, and maybe a little sweet.
Old school service, that never disappoints
