Mara's Italian Pastry

In You've Got Mail, Tom Hanks' character, Joe Fox, said that the move "The Godfather" is a source of wisdom, like the I-Ching. For example, in deciding what to pack for a vacation: "Leave the gun, take the cannoli." And that's my first encounter with this Italian dessert. I've tried it previously with Ate Maddie but it's been a long time!

While in Little Italy, Allan's (the TA) machine learning mentor invited all of us to try cannolis at Mara's Italian Pastry along Columbus St. Anna and I have walked down this road before but I didn't notice the pastry shop (we probably were focused on finding pasta back then). Anyway, the machine learning mentor highly recommended this pastry shop because he loves the cannolis there.

And the tiny pastry shop is impressive! There were a lot of goodies to choose from! If we weren't already primed for cannoli, we would have taken a longer time to decide what to eat here!



The cannoli? It was terrific!! Inside the tube of chocolate-lined pastry dough was a rich serving of creamy cheese. It wasn't too sweet and the serving portion was not overwhelming; just the right size for someone to savour the dessert. 


Yum!!
