The most significant difference between Sicilian cannoli and New York cannoli (pictured) is the ricotta. In most provinces of Sicily (Ragusa is the exception and parts of Siracusa), they use sheep's milk ricotta. In the United States, traditional New York style cannoli use cow's milk ricotta. When you join me for the @cannolicrawl_nyc you'll learn this and more than you ever thought possible to know about cannoli. Join me for the Cannoli Crawl New York! Saturdays November 16 and 23 and December 14 and 21. Link in bio. And you too can become a Cannoli Connoisseur. #cannoli #cannolicrawl #cannolo #newyorkcity #thisisnewyork #walkingtour #cannolilove #nycfoodie #thisisnewyorkcity #foodietravel #foodtravel #experiencesicily #sicily #sicilia #siciliabedda #italy #italia #sicilyvacation #sicilians_world #ig_sicily #igerssicilia #instasicilia #gf_italy #siculamenteDoc #sicily_tricolors #ig_visitsicily #Sicilia_PhotoGroup #smallgrouptours #traveltogether

New York City history is a significant element of the Cannoli Crawl walking tour. For example, you'll learn about this great man, Lieutenant Joseph Petrosino, who was a trailblazing detective in the New York City Police Department before he was killed in the line of duty. Join me for this beyond the ordinary walking and food tour of New York City. Dates through December!

This was an impulse cannolo. I was leaving Sicily earlier this month, and I just wanted to have the taste of sheep's milk ricotta one last time and a good espresso macchiato. The cannolo was sweet (expected, since it was at Sicilia's Caffè in the Catania Airport. They have to add a lot of sugar to keep it fresh longer.). Smartly, the shell was coated on the inside with chocolate to keep it crunchy. That worked. Overall, it was more about the cute barristers than the pastry! #cannoli #cannolicrawl #cannolo #newyorkcity #thisisnewyork #walkingtour #cannolilove #nycfoodie #thisisnewyorkcity #foodietravel #foodtravel #experiencesicily #sicily #sicilia #siciliabedda #italy #italia

Senza parole. There's absolutely nothing like a homemade cannolo. Especially when it's a Sicilian mamma who makes it. Antonella, the mother of the owner of Hybla Major B&B in Avola made this masterpiece for me and my friends upon a special request. Cows' milk ricotta with a bit of cinnamon and whipped to perfection. I truly was taken aback by my first bite, which my friend Jodi documented. No words. Please don't interrupt me... The shell made with Marsala, sugar, butter, one egg... Wonderful. One of the best I've ever eaten. No doubt. Stay at this Bed and Breakfast. Antonella makes everything from scratch. She bakes the bread from Mother yeast. Makes the yogurt herself. A treasure! #cannoli #cannolicrawl #cannolo #newyorkcity #thisisnewyork #walkingtour #cannolilove #nycfoodie #thisisnewyorkcity #foodietravel #foodtravel #experiencesicily #sicily #sicilia #avola

During lunch with a group of northern Italians (we were hiking around Ragusa), I ate this cannolo made with the milk from Modican cows. They are a beautiful breed that are chocolate colored. This cannolo was very, very fresh. The shell reminded me of graham crackers, with a lot of cinnamon... Which is very nice. I might guess there was some nero d'Avola wine in the mix too. The cream was wonderfully light and fresh. Not too sweet, since the ricotta didn't need it. It spoke for itself. #cannoli #cannolicrawl #cannolo #newyorkcity #thisisnewyork #walkingtour #cannolilove #nycfoodie #thisisnewyorkcity #foodietravel #foodtravel #experiencesicily #sicily #sicilia #ragusa

I was back at Eurobar in Dattilo today. Look at this gorgeous shell! It's a masterpiece. The shell, in general, really doesn't get the love it deserves. Look at the bubbles! I mean, do they get more beautiful? Remember: the town of Marsala, from where the wine comes, is right down the road... That's how this pastry gets bubbles like that! The wine (and probably some vinegar too)! But not only--they make the pastry really light. It's a feat of engineering! And then, well, the form of it is unique for how it holds this magnificent cream... Oh, the creammmm. *sigh* But back to the shell... This one stays in one piece for 85% of the consumption time. That, my friends, is why this cannolo continues to rule! Because it's a complete package. #cannoli #cannolicrawl #cannolo #newyorkcity #thisisnewyork #walkingtour #cannolilove #nycfoodie #thisisnewyorkcity #foodietravel #foodtravel #experiencesicily #sicily #sicilia #siciliabedda #italy #italia #sicilyvacation

Wow. Just wow. The entire experience visiting I Segreti del Chiostro inside la Chiesa di Santa Caterina D'Alessandria in Palermo is magical. But this cannolo, for sure is the best I've had in Palermo center. The shell alone is outstanding. So crunchy. I'm guessing made with lard. It's texture and integrity was truly remarkable. Light while being firm. There's a trace of Marsala wine in the taste (The color also says so. It's a rose gold color. ). But otherwise, just pastry, which for this cream makes sense. The cream is sheep's milk ricotta. Super smooth. Super fresh. It's been worked by loving hands. And in the style of Palermo, super sweet. I'll guess it's about 40% sugar balance against the ricotta. Just like the Palermitani like it! And today, I did too. I was ready for it at 4:30 in the afternoon. The perfect time of day after climbing the stairs of the church to take in the outstanding views of this fascinating city! But I degress... Filled upon order. And decorated according to my liking. The candied orange against the pistachio was a great combination. (In summa, the shell really complimented the cream.) Exhale... Definitely need to include this on my visits with my @experiencesicily groups. And you should too. #palermo #sicily #sicilia #cannoli #cannolicrawl #cannolo #newyorkcity #thisisnewyork #walkingtour #cannolilove #nycfoodie #thisisnewyorkcity #foodietravel #foodtravel #experiencesicily

Highlights from today's Cannoli Crawl. We started at Caffè Reggio today (Pasticceria Rocco is on vacation.) and were swept up in the excitement of the San Gennaro Feast in New York City. What a wonderful group of people! We ate outstanding Cannoli and remarkable savory foods. @cannolicrawl_nyc @polosudnyc @caffepalermonyc #cannoli #cannolicrawl #cannolo #newyorkcity #thisisnewyork #walkingtour #cannolilove #nycfoodie #thisisnewyorkcity #foodietravel #foodtravel #experiencesicily #sicily #traveltogether

OK, OK... Normally I would just say no. But my curiosity got the best of me. This. Is. A. Vegan. Cannolo. Yes, it is. And it was tasty. Made with cashew cream, cinnamon, and something else (obviously chocolate chips and a vegan pastry), despite the fact that the shell was soggy (I'm letting that go, since this is in a coffee bar on the boardwalk in Asbury Park, NJ, and if it wasn't vegan, I would not have touched it!), the texture of the cream was impressive. Would I make a habit of this? No. But for my vegan friends, there is hope!! #cannoli #cannolicrawl #cannolo #newyorkcity #thisisnewyork #walkingtour #cannolilove #nycfoodie #thisisnewyorkcity #foodietravel #foodtravel #experiencesicily #vegan #vegancannoli #vegano #vegancannolo

When making cannoli, you want to wrap them a bit loose around the form. But not too loose! There's an art to it. And be sure to use your egg wash to seal the ends to the rest of the dough. You don't want the canal to open while it's in the fryer. #makingcannoli #cannoli #cannolicrawl #cannolo #newyorkcity #thisisnewyork #walkingtour #cannolilove #nycfoodie #thisisnewyorkcity #foodietravel #foodtravel #experiencesicily

Cannoli Tip: Don't eat a cannolo that has been filled before you order it! You want the shell to be fresh and crunchy as a contrast to the creamy filling. #cannoli #cannolicrawl #cannolo #newyorkcity #thisisnewyork #walkingtour #cannolilove #nycfoodie #thisisnewyorkcity #foodietravel #foodtravel #experiencesicily @polosudnyc
