HOLY CANNOLI - POSITIVELY GOOD NEWS!

When I lived in NYC eons ago, a favorite affordable pleasure on my meager publishing salary was to while away a few hours at a West Village cafe over cappuccino and cannoli. Cannoli are hard to come by in Cincy, but I stumbled on one at Capri Tavola Calda today!

I love this little restaurant downtown on Walnut between Fourth and Fifth (and blogged about its hauntingly good porchetta and a few of its panini here). I can't recall the last time I purchased dessert for a weekday lunch, but I was not about to let this slip past me. Although my lunch hour was cut short, the universe had good things in store for me today. So I'll be celebrating tonight with cannoli.

Had to come back and edit after eating: Chocolate, cherry, pistachio (and probably some other ingredients I'm forgetting). What a remarkable cannoli filling. Unlike any I've had before. Bravo, Capri!

Happy Monday!
