There is an ongoing debate around who makes the best cannoli in Boston. The most popular answers are Mike’s, Modern, and Bova’s. We were recommended to these three bakeries by different friends, and we ended up choosing Modern. (1) Unlike the other spots, Modern Pastry fills the cannoli with fresh ingredients when you order. This ensures the crispiness of the shell, as the fillings won’t make the shell soggy while sitting in the pastry shelf all day. (2) You can customize the filling, shell and toppings at Modern. They even have gluten-free shell available. Chocolate dipped shell and ricotta filling are fire. (3) The takeout line is long but it moves fast. They also do delivery via Grubhub if you want to avoid the wait. *Pistachio Plain Cannoli I picked plain shell with crushed pistachio and ricotta filling. The shell felt so crunchy and fresh. The ricotta was rich, creamy and not sickly sweet. I loved the generous amount of pistachio dip. *Chocolate Chip Cannoli My bf chose chocolate dipped shell with chocolate chips and ricotta filling. The chocolate dipped shell was so good that I regretted a little not getting it! *Key Lime Pie The sharpness of the lime was like a punch in your face. The lemon custard filling was very acidic and citrusy in a good way, while the biscuit crust added a crunch to the pie.

Food was delicious, the waiters and staff were very accommodating and pleasant. The restaurant has a nice well lit view and relaxing ambience. Come here for the homemade pasta and oven fired pizza. Very good. I got the carbonara with gluten free penne.

Das mit Abstand beste Lokal in Boston, sowohl für Frühstück als auch für Mittag! Noch zwar ein Geheimtipp, gleichwohl muss man sich auf ein wenig Wartezeit einstellen, denn dieses Kleinod im Northend hat nur wenig Plätze! Nicht nur große Portionen und leckeres Essen locken hier, auch die Möglichkeit, glutenfrei zu essen Ist in Boston doch noch sehr selten. Die Bedienung ist auf Zack und sehr freundlich, das Essen kommt recht zügig. Einzig der Kaffee wird für alle Italiener eine Enttäuschung sein. Achtung: Bezahlung nur mit Bargeld möglich, wer einen Geldautomaten sucht, wird lange Wege zurück legen müssen…
