Sadly, due to the weather, I had to move away. Mamma Maria&#39;s was our fave place too! I once got a big box of goodies from Mike&#39;s Pastry, one of each of their desserts. On the same street there was a place that sold whole ricotta pies. Oh my goodness they were sinfully good.

Less sweet and not pre filled. Never buy a prefilled canoli, eat promptly and do not refrigerate. That goes for sfogliatelle too: buy at Modern and not refrigerated--trust me- I&#39;ve always followed these rules--and I&#39;m 83!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15897188.post-11814873404561822832009-10-29T08:22:16.266-05:002009-10-29T08:22:16.266-05:00I love Mike&#39;s. Back when we were first dating, my husband and I would walk up to the North End, grab some cannolis, and then sit down in the Fanueil Hall area to eat them. And we too take every out of towner there when they come visit.Lindsey@pickyeatingshttp://pickyeatings.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15897188.post-86859935951935074222009-10-28T14:20:21.105-05:002009-10-28T14:20:21.105-05:00I LOVE Mike&#39;s Pastry!!!

My favorite cannoli so far is the one stuffed with pistachios. One of my coworkers just recently made some fresh cannolis using marscapone cheese and whipped cream.

I live in Boston and am a student at Berklee and I must say that Mike&#39;s is one of the best things I&#39;ve discovered on the East Coast! I love it!Katynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15897188.post-33711603016084263272009-10-27T18:03:29.843-05:002009-10-27T18:03:29.843-05:00I lived in Boston for seven years, and have been down here in GA for 2 years. I have to say, good cannoli is hard to find down here. It has me tempted to try my hand at making my own...Reading this has me practically drooling, though. I miss the North End, and I miss Mike&#39;s!Joyful Melodyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13259602030395815881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15897188.post-87350177850779311662009-10-27T17:24:31.717-05:002009-10-27T17:24:31.717-05:00I&#39;m going to vote for Modern but I also like Maria&#39;s I&#39;m hoping to do a taste off. Send three friends off to each of the bakeries and meet at a table in the park to taste test the cannolis as they were handed off by the bakeries.Pennyhttp://www.bostonzest.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15897188.post-77857776147166394492009-10-27T11:53:50.486-05:002009-10-27T11:53:50.486-05:00Somehow, I&#39;ve gone through my life without eating a single cannoli! And now I really want to go to Boston to try Mike&#39;s! They really look incredible.Hungry Doghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09176958081093165894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15897188.post-38164768855499364532009-10-27T10:30:41.444-05:002009-10-27T10:30:41.444-05:00Maybe the coolest thing about my Dad is he gets Free Mikes Pastries. Very underated and he brings them home alot because he works close.<br /><br />Im a chocolate mocha guy and or a canoli here and there. I like how you left room for Modern which is very solid and often less crowded. We got a few other places for whoopie pies and such but anything in that area is mostly GOLD! good postZ Farlshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04639475897052789947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15897188.post-35423725577357732432009-10-27T09:24:48.344-05:002009-10-27T09:24:48.344-05:00I loved this place when I visited Boston!
