Last Saturday was spent with the bros I’ve known since second grade on a hiking trip in the woods. After all that dude time, encountering dragons, or ruffians, I had a craving for one thing: Cannoli. Walking around Loz Feliz, I noticed a girl in the pastry shop, Palermo, making a cannoli for me.

Palermo is a longtime, Los Feliz favorite, serving up the best (and large portions) in Italian pasta dishes, pizzas and much more. It’s always busy there and I love the family-owned feel to it. Even if it’s your first time there, they make you feel like you’re their favorite regular. I had a serious sweet tooth so instead of the dining room, I sat in the cafe, which is called Cafe Presto. I’m not going to be that person alone in the dining room hogging up a booth for one dessert item. People who do that are jerks.

I’m going to be frank with you, the service here was on point. I was greeted right away by a kind server who had a fire in her eyes and a big, fat cannoli to shove in my mouth. I thought I ordered just one cannoli but she brought out a ton on one platter. What a pleasant surprise!

NOMNOMNOM! These cannoli are YUM-OH! The shells are perfectly crisp, and the soft vanilla cream explodes in your mouth when you bite into it. I could eat a billion of these.

The fun really kicked in when my buddy Rivers joined in on the cannoli action. This night went from “awesome” to “bomb.com.”

At the end of the day, Palermo cannoli will have you shouting THANK GOD!
