Numerous well-respected sources including The New York Times, National Geographic and the Boston Globe recommend Modern Pastry for its perfect cannoli. Three generations of master chefs have perfected the Old World Italian recipes Modern Pastry uses to craft its tasty treats.

According to Boston Magazine, another contender in the race for the best cannoli is Caffe Paradiso. This city landmark for Italian desserts boasts three generations of expert bakers. Patrons are invited to stop in and enjoy coffee, pastries and gelato "with gusto," as well as to pay their respects to the family matron, Antonietta DeStefano. Whatever you do, though, don't take her chair.
