What We Offer
Cannoli
Sam offers both Sicilian and Venetian cannoli in regular or mini sizes, made completely from scratch, using only the freshest ingredients. The miniature cannoli must be ordered in advance to ensure availability. The Sicilian cannoli has a ricotta based filling with a deep fried shell. Small bits of chocolate in the ricotta filling make this a sweet yet savoury treat. Venetian cannoli have a custard cream filling in a flaky baked shell.
