Best cannoli from Maria's Pastry @ North End, Boston, Massachusetts

Maria's pastry shop located at North End Boston has the best cannoli. However this little gems is less well known. It's a small family owned shop and generally isn’t as crowded as the others. But don't let this fooled you. Maria’s Pastry won the highly coveted Boston Magazine Best Cannoli Award in 2013. Filled to order Maria’s crunchy ricotta-filled cannoli are addicting. Maria’s is a locally loved institution.

Taste:9/10(Delicious. The cannoli were made on the spot. Shell were fresh, flavourful and crispy. Ricotta filling were the best after I tried Mike's pastry. Soft, silky smooth and generous amount of filling).
Price:6/10(Moderate. Ricotta filling cannoli at USD3.00 each).


The shell was so fresh and flavorful in a wonderful buttery way with the right amount of crunch and flakiness. The ricotta filling was silky smooth, slightly chilled, and sweet with a hint of cheesy savoriness.

It is an old-fashioned unassuming Pastry shop near the North End neighborhood. You can't never imagine that this shop has the best cannolis in Boston.

Maria's pastry shop. Small. Tucked away. Family owned. Not touristy.

Wonderful cannoli from Mike's Pastry @ North End, Boston

Before this, I don't even know what cannoli is. My impression was cannoli is a small sized pastry but Mike's version was huge. Now I know why people willing to wait in long queue just to have their favourite cannoli after I tasted it. The worst thing about this place is to decide on which cannoli that you want! Mike Pastry has so many varieties. Do take note that this is a cash only establishment.

Taste:8/10(Good. The cannolis here are huge! The filling is silky and fluffy. The shell is perfectly crunchy and they have a huge varieties of flavors to choose from. I picked the caramel pecan cannoli since I like pecan and sweet stuff. I love the taste of Mike's cannoli once I have a bite of it. Its not overly sweet but its filling).
Price:5/10(Reasonable. Each cannoli priced at USD4.00).


When you arrive to Mike's Pastry shop, do go into the shop and check out. The line looks long but actually there are many lines at the front of the counters.

Since the shop is so crowded, I have to eat the cannoli at the nearby park.
