Cannoli are Italian-American crisp fried pastry shells filled with sweetened ricotta cheese and chocolate chips, dusted with powdered sugar.
Cannoli reached Milwaukee with the Sicilian immigrant population in the late 1800s and early 1900s, who settled the Brady Street neighborhood. Peter Sciortino opened his bakery on East Brady Street in 1948; his ricotta-filled cannoli became the canonical Milwaukee version. Festa Italiana on the lakefront each July features dozens of cannoli vendors. The Milwaukee cannoli uses fresh whole-milk ricotta and includes mini chocolate chips and citrus zest in the filling.
