Okay, so any Italian knows that Cannolis are very time consuming, but sooooooo delicious … right? So what if I told you that I found good quality cannoli in Los Angeles? Not those soggy, sloppy, yucky ones we find in random coffe shops in Beverly Hills (and get charged like 5.00 for) I’m talking crisp, creamy and even chocolate coated CANNOLI! Hard to believe?

Okay, I was totally on the hunt for some Cannoli for Christmas last year. I searched online, newspapers and even companies who would ship from the East Coast! I was sooooo frustrated, and about to give up on the idea when I found Tutto Latte in LA. It’s some little tiny hole-in-the-wall Italian cheese import place on VIne Avenue. They say don’t let looks fool you … so I went in. OH MY GOSH! They had so much stuff from “The Old Country” it was like walking into my grandma’s pantry!

So, I ask about the cannolis. The owner is a little hard of hearing, but he pointed me to a huge fridge. They don’t sell cannolis, they sell the ingredients – EVEN BETTER!!! So I bought the bag of filling (about 10 bucks makes about 40) and 50 shells. He even had chocoloate coated shells! It was heaven. My whole sale cost about 25/30 bucks and we had cannoli for Christmas!!!

The address is 1233 Vine St in Los Angeles, CA 90038. Be careful, you will pass it right up if you aren’t paying attention! The first time, we even lost it while using GPS! So keep your eyes peeled. It has a faded little round shade cover on the top of the door, and a little rusted sign on the wall. Call ahead for hours, I know they are closed on weekends though! (323) 463-5041
