This guy makes the greatest spumoni and cannolis in the Bay Area. What else can I say. He goes on vacation to Sicily for about two months during the summer (they will be closed from 6/16 - 9/26)....

So the canoli is beyond yummy but the hazelnut ice cream is creamy and has just the right amount of flavor and not too sweet. It's fresh too. The rum raisin is beyond good too. Try the canoli to take...
