Romolo's Cannoli, San Mateo CA

I'll take a chocolate on chocolate cannolo please! That's my order now after getting a thorough overview of "How to order cannoli" lesson from the folks at Romolo's Cannoli and Spumoni Factory in San Mateo, CA who have been in the business for over 40 years. Chocolate on chocolate is a chocolate coated shell, freshly filled with sweet ricotta filling, with chocolate chips covering the ends. 

Even if you self profess to not really like cannoli (which was me before), try Romolo's at least once. And if you aren't convinced, they have a whole bunch of other treats to try - like ice cream cannoli, spumoni and other ice cream, or tiramisu. You really can't go wrong.

Tips: 

  • A single "cannoli" is actually "cannolo" (duh!)
  • The chocolate shell helps freshly filled tiramisu last a couple hours longer than a regular shell. But, I also think these taste better.
  • If you really want to put yourself through the ordeal of not eating your cannoli sooner than later, you can get the cannoli kits and fill the shells yourself at the desired time - but you have to buy a minimum of 6.
