Step away from busy Hanover Street, and enjoy a quieter scene. The authentic cannolis are not pre-filled (thank goodness!) and these veritable Tubes of Love will make you want to fall down on the floor and die of happiness. You will not be disappointed. Maria herself seems like she is a bit of a stern mother who would have slapped you across the head with a spoon if you even tried to put a single grubby finger in the pasta sauce before dinner time. Don't look at me like that, you know what I'm talking about. Her hands are those of a woman who has worked all her life. While you're at it, pick up a few cookies to take home, they are worth bringing back for the rest of the family.
