The Places to Check Out for Great Cannoli in Manila

(SPOT.ph) For the longest time, Italian desserts didn’t quite get the love they deserved in Manila as most restaurants usually serve the stereotypical gelato and tiramisu. But in recent months, we’ve been seeing more small shops and restaurants serving the classic confection known as cannoli—and we couldn’t be happier! This Italian pastry generally involves tube-shaped fried pastry dough that are filled with a ricotta mixture plus toppings like nuts, chocolate, and/or dried fruit—and when done right, they deliver a swoon-worthy union of crisp, crunchy, creamy, sweet, slightly savory, fruity, and/or bittersweet profiles. No need to book a flight to Italy, either, as we’ve rounded up places you can order the dessert in Manila.

You might be tempted to load up on the pasta and pizza when ordering from Italian establishment a mano, but be sure to leave room for their Cannoli Siciliani (P410/three pieces). In every order, you get a piece each of classic, pistachio, and chocolate cannoli that you can share away—or savor for yourself! You can give them a call for orders, and book a courier for delivery.

You might recognize Cucina Artigianale (a.k.a. Gab’s Just Desserts) for their melt-in-your-mouth tiramisu, but don’t miss their Cannoli, either.

Some are decidedly more playful, like the Oreo (P549/box of six, P979/box of 12), Strawberry (P549/box of six, P979/box of 12), and Matcha Cookies & Cream (P549/box of six, P979/box of 12).
