Homemade Sicilian-style cannoli
Homemade cannoli
Traditional Sicilian-style cannoli in Pittsfield, made from a family recipe associated with Congetta Colombari of Canicattì, Sicily.

The cannoli originated in Sicily — cannoli di Sicilia — tube-shaped shells of fried pastry dough made with Marsala wine, filled with sweetened ricotta.
Papa Joe's serves a traditional Sicilian cannoli. Paul makes them using his grandmother Congetta Colombari's recipe, brought from Canicattì, Sicily, with high-quality ricotta and pure flavors such as vanilla, lemon, almond, or orange — not an Americanized custard of sugar, milk, and cornstarch.
The restaurant has also listed additional flavors and cannoli pies. Flavors and pies change — please call or ask when you order.
Cannoli flavors and pies listed here come from Papa Joe's published dessert copy. Selection is ever-changing — call or ask when ordering.
