Word of warning Ladies and Gents! Watch their videos AFTER you have eaten. Safest way to go! Lol! Cannolo 🥰
Agreed, even watching while eating will cause you to feel hungry while having your food. 😩💗
TOO LATE! I had no cannoli so I had to grab some chocolate instead. Le sigh
So true! I got ravenously hungry watching this video. Doubly hard, because I try not to eat sugar or sweets. But one thing is for sure, if I ever get back to Sicily, I will cheat and sample the cannoli! Harper, I can't believe you resisted the urge to incorporate the line "Take the gun, leave the cannoli" from this video. (Unless I missed it.)
Yes, excellent advice, but before you go food shopping 😁
Yeaaah... I paused the video halfway through to get a snack. Not a cannolo, unfortunately
Armando seems like the kinda guy who has his priorities straight: keep the shop busy or make more Cannoli
Armando looks very like Super Mario, so italian ❤️😂
I need to meet Armando, what an amazing man. The fact his shop was open but empty, shows how respected he is in his village. Why steal when he's so generous?! May he live long
@@ErnestoCeccoDOrtona super Mario è giapponese.
@@ErnestoCeccoDOrtona If Super Mario represents the average Italian then I'm the king of Denmark (spoiler: I'm not) 😂
Mr Armando.. we love you. God bless your hands
The very best Canolo I've ever had was made by a Sicilian grandmother of a friend. She spoke very broken English. She made her own shells, used imported ricotta, and put candied fruit, pistachios, and only a few chocolate chunks in.
I had a cannolo years later in Rome that wasn't as good. The Sicilians know their cannoli.
Ode to Sophia Petrillo!
They do. Indeed.
My nonna's skipped the fruit for my dad, but was the same otherwise. I've never had a complaint from recipients!
My mom made her own cannoli, too. She made the shells and the filling. She wasn't Italian but was married to my dad who had an Italian heritage but not Sicilian - Abruzzi. She taught me how to make them.
Eva: Thank you for highlighting the South of Italy! Most Americans think that Italy is Rome, Tuscany and Venice and never venture to the south. We are going next year to Sicily and Calabria and plan to go to Acquaro, Calabria where my grandfather was born in 1897. Can’t wait to eat my way through Sicily and Calabria!
The real italy is rome and the south
As Italian i totally agree with you 👍
I’m leaving for Rome and heading south to Calabria in a week! So excited!
Italy is Milano. Punto.
Very true. It’s vilified so much n I always wondered if there is another side of the beautiful history of this island
Finally ….. The pilgrimage to Sicilia was made! Every Italian and Sicilian is happy! Grazie Harper and Eva ! 👏👏👏🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹
Bravo💗
My husband and I are in Sicily with one of our son's right now. We were in Palermo May 11-14 and went to Cefalù yesterday on our way to Polizzi Generosa. We are heading next to Taormina then Reggio Calabria to see my cousins. Our last stop is in Puglia. I love watching your channel! Keep up the good work.
Finally someone who knows that when there's one it's called a cannolo. More than one it's cannoli. It drives me insane when restaurants offer cannoli for dessert and only bring you one. Only one Italian restaurant I used to frequent many years ago got this right. They were the real deal. My girl Eva never disappoints.Thank you both for having this amazing channel.
Any fans of cannoli will appreciate this. I found a good Sicilian cannoli baker in my hometown. He was the best in the city. I had him make me 24 cannoli for a family get together. There were nine people present including me. Eight people had never tried cannoli before. Not one of them liked the cannoli. Absolute sacrilege! The only consolation was I had 15 left over to take home for my own consumption.
My grandmother was from Messina. She left when she was 6 years old. I took her back 60 years later. It was an amazing experience for both of us!
Wow 🥰
I am from the North but my soul is certainly in the southern half because I love the pastry of the South, in particular the Sicilian one. Seeing the video made my mouth water.
After watching this, I think you guys need to test the different ricotta cheeses in America and give us the true Italian taste bud test. It has been 37 years since I lived there, and I remember that the worst one I had there was better than any I have had here.
Good idea! We’ll see what we can do…
Please, take me with you!! After watching this episode, I have never been more envious of anyone in my life! My dream is to eat my way through Sicilia, stuffing cannoli after cannoli, and other foods, into my mouth - my last stop being where my family is from, Palermo! Love this video! You breathed new life into my dream of visiting this beautiful place!
I am with you on this one Missie. My people are from the north, but I too want to go! On the next trip where they bring people, whether it's Italy or Sicily, I will try to sign up.
Me too💗💗💗
I’m Australian of Italian heritage and when we were young and we had an important occasion to celebrate. My father would go into the city which was a couple of hours to travel, and would buy dozens of cannoli for family and friends. I’ll never forget how excited we would be to have these amazing cannoli made by a Sicilian bakery. The bakery doesn’t exist anymore but no one has been able to replicate the same kind of exquisite cannoli as they used to make. But they were chocolate and vanilla flavour that my dad would buy. The flavour and texture of them was amazing. I didn’t try ricotta ones until I was older but they are nice also.
I am one of the few unfortunate human beings who has yet to try cannoli. Born and bred Vermonter, I was not exposed to many ethnic or culturally significant foods. However, at 65, I am bound and determined to expand my culinary experiences. Living now in Tennessee, there are not many authentic Italian eateries (at least in the rural area where I am), but the search is on! Will report back . . .❤️ Love your videos and appreciate your hard work and "sacrifices" on our behalf! The experiences and adventures you are sharing bring me great joy and continue to entice me to someday visit Italy. Thank you for showing us this beautiful country!❤️❤️
Try it you will be in heaven💗💗💗
My bucket list is to go to Palermo Sicily. My family immigrated from there and I’ve always wanted to visit. My great grandma lived to be 103 years old and I grew up eating food that she was making and eating her entire life. Most of the recipes were passed down from her to my grandma and then mom. Every time I watch videos from this channel I’m constantly reminded of my childhood I love it.
I agree, wherever it is in Italy or Sicily when they come to America, they still make it the same way. My Nona passed her Bolognese sauce down and now the recipe is way over a hundred years old, unchanging. Thank god.
@@algini12 yes me to I still have my great grandmas sauce recipe as well. Only thing with a bunch of other recipes I have they are just a list of ingredients no specific amounts lol
@@SAPPERJASON1 LMAO, Me too on the specific amounts!! But even with that pinches of this and that, it still by some miracle turned out the same every time for them, not for us 😗!!! I've been trying to taste more. Like after the 1st and 2nd hour on the 3 hour bolognese sauce, and still don't get it perfect every time like those women could. I almost believe they were all closet witches, who had the POWER 🤷♀. Maybe being a guy is the problem with us? We'll never know.
God Bless💗
Glad to see you've recovered from Bologna, and are enjoying the cannoli! They all look amazing!
I was eating my own homemade tortellini with ricotta and spinach filling and wrapped in homemade spinach pasta dough while watching this because I knew this would make me hungry. Glad Harper is feeling better.
Gotta question for Ava. My grandmother from Terrasini, Sicily has always made 100 cannoli for her entire family, and grandchildren every Christmas. She always made the cream from heavy cream, and corn starch, on the stove, and would lay the sheets of cinnamon into the cream after it was cooked to the flavor, then when cooled would fill the shells. She never used ricotta. And we had other Sicilian relatives and distant relatives that also made the cream oon the stove. Ever hear of that? I've searched all over TH-cam, and no one shows how to make it that way.. THUMBS UP!!!
Fantastico! Without the advantage of tasting them, I was rooting for Armando's cannoli because the idea of goat's and sheep's milk ricotta is almost too wonderful to contemplate. I'm jealous four times over.
great video! I really enjoyed this!!!
Thank you for this great video!
This video needs a part 2 the next time you go to Sicily. I kinda want to meet more home bakers and learn about their techniques when it comes to making cannoli. But I also understand that a lot of those are family secrets so it might be a bit a challenging to accomplish. But meeting the people and hearing them talk about food is probably my favorite part of your travel videos.
Wow! So much fun in this video.
Grazie melle
I'm so envious of you two, and all the people of Sicilia who have these cannoli in their lives!! Thanks for sharing and safe travels.
You two are the best! Buon appetito! Thank you very much for the tour!!! It looked like so much fun.
Io ho mangiato degli ottimi cannoli a Dattilo e a Napola tutte e due in provincia di Trapani
You always create interesting and enjoyable episodes all the time. I really enjoyed this one. 👏👏👏
Happy to see you well and with sparkles in the eyes again Harper !
Ava is just wonderful to watch and learn from!
I can't wait to go back to beautiful Italy! Thank you for the videos, I'm living through you guys!
Love this video!
My mother made the best. She was legend. We had a family friend who would call ahead of time to let my mother know she was coming and that she was expecting to be served her cannoli w the coffee. Me and my brother would make a guessing game of how many cannoli she'd eat on her visits. My mom also had the bamboo forms for the dough that came from Italy.
Fantastic video Thank you for sharing
One of your best episodes ever! I am filled to the brim with envy.
I love these videos!!! Please make more of these with different foods. I am bookmarking all of these places for when I visit Italy one day. I want to try the best and most authentic food :)
Heading to Sicily and Calabria on Thursday. Can’t wait. You guys are helping build my excitement.
I love you two. I love these travel videos too. I need to learn more about Italian cuisine but as I can’t travel, it helps for me to live this through you. Armando seem like a good dude too.
Amazing video! Really enjoyed watching it. Thank you for all the effort in making this video8
This comes close to my favourite Video, thankyou (with cravings)
Thank you guys. My grandfather worked as a pastry chef at Irrera from 1920 to 1954. Family history here.
Another gem city town for a good cannolo is “Dattilo”.. small city in the Trapani, amazing cannolo maybe the best ever tasted in Sicily
Hi Eva and Harper! I was so happy watching your video and dreaming 💭 the whole time! I know I probably will never get to where my ancestors are from in Italy…..but at least you both have given me a special tour❣️thank you so much!🙂
Timely posting as I picked up some sheep’s ricotta from the market in Roma and decided to sweeten it a little bit and add zest as a delicious breakfast spread this morning. It does indeed have that trademark mild “sheep” flavor that’s less aggressive than goat. Can’t wait to go visit Sicily and try the significantly upgraded version, so thanks for the ideas of places to check out. I’ve really been enjoying your content with my extended stay here in Italy as I work my way through the market.
wonderful!!! good to see you happy and healthy again, Harper. I love Sicilia and have many relatives there. Hope you both enjoyed your time there.
I absolutely loved this one both of my father’s parents were born around Palermo and I remember my dad cutting metal pipe into pieces, heating them up and making my first canolo. Memories are sweet.
Messina: One of my most treasured possessions is a photograph of my 19 year old Nona in Messina dressed in traditional clothing just before she boarded a ship headed for Ellis Island...
Brolo: I am told that the most recent research has revealed that the longer lifespan attributed to eating a Mediterranean diet comes largely from eating medium chain triglycerides found in abundance in sheep and goat cheeses...
Sicily: Gosh, what a treat seeing the little bit of the island we did - Thank you!
💗💗💗
You guys made my mouth water!!! ❤️
Wow, wow, wow!!! The desserts looked amazing, :). Loved the expressions on your faces, it spoke everything about the cannolo!!! Thank you for sharing! The view of different parts of Italy is breath taking! I feel I am traveling with you both! I look forward each week to see your videos, it is quite the adventure each and every time. I learn so much from you both. Harper so glad you are feeling better! God bless you both! :)
Ottima scelta la pasticceria delle suore. L'ho scoperta per caso un'estate di un paio d'anni fa. Ma Piana degli Albanesi è indubbiamente al primo posto, specie per gli innumerevoli premi che i cannoli del posto hanno vinto. Ora aspettiamo il video di voi che provate le altre specialità di Palermo ;-)
I migliori cannoli sono quelli di Dattilo la ricotta fa paura quella di piana mettono dentro il miele e copre troppo il sapore della ricotta, alla lunga disgusta.
I absolutely love cannoli. I've never had them with cherries or candied orange but I've had them with chocolate chips & pistachios.
I agree, my Uncle was from Sicily and he bought Cannolo from the best Italian Bakery where he lived. Fortunately where I live now, I can buy a true Sicilian Cannolo. Yum. Thanks for one of my favorite dessert. Blessings to you and your families. 😊🇺🇲
One take away from this is that for my entire life I’ve been pronouncing it wrong . Being of Sicilian heritage in Detroit, my family pronounced it in singular form as Cannola instead of Cannolo. They would also often say Cannolas or Cannoli interchangeably for plural. But the “s” was from english usage being absorbed into the language.
The singular form in standard sicilian language is cannolu. Cannola is the plural form. In the middle of sicily we have a different pronunciation (cannulu) only for singular form.
Happy to see that Harper has his appetite back! As always, a great video!
I'm looking forward to spending an enormous amount of time in Sicily.
My dads family was from Messina. Thank you for the tour. I would have picked the pistachio and orange cannolli also, but also appreciate the ancient recipe also.You two are so fun to watch.
Lovely video! I bought sheep ricotta from a local farmer/cheese maker here in the eastern U.S. I’m going to make something delicious from Eva’s recipe collection today. 😀
Great episode! Love cannoli and had some great ones in Catania many years ago. Keep the videos coming please.
I'm dead. I cannot imagine many things better than going to Sicily to sample cannolo. Simply amazing.
Exactly!!!!! It’s the perfect trip!!
That was a beautiful tour of Sicily not to mention the yummy cannoli!!!😋💕
This was awesome!
16:33 le "minne e sant. Agata" come le chiama mio padre 😂 ciao ragazzi, divertitevi.
Amazing video Eva and Harper! Thank you for making these wonderful places known to us.
The channel Italia Squisita also went to Piana degli Albanesi for the best Cannoli. They use wine to make the dough for the shell and few other simple astonishing tricks. Definitely on top of my wishlist.
Absolutely love Eva’s bag. ❤️
Ciao Eva, ti ringrazio per essere venuta in Sicilia e per essere venuta nella mia bella Cefalù!
(Per essere onesti cangelosi non era il posto più buono dove prendere un cannolo ma hai fatto un bel lavoro con il video!)
Messina, la mia città... Comunque nel cannolo di irrera non ci sono le arachidi ma mandorle tostate e sbriciolato
Next time, try the cannoli in Dattilo (TP).
I’m from Messina, but I live in Torino, I’m so happy to see you there♥️
Wow! I am green with envy. You guys really know how to titillate the palate.
This video has the best form of mouthwatering tunnel vision you can get! Airy and insightful at the same time! I perceive the film the same as a canollo I can't get enough of it! So if you want to return, I can't wait to see the film! Keep up the remarkable quality in every sense of the word!
Wonderful!! Love Sicily….my wife’s aunt was from Castronova near Palermo. She and my mother in law, who was from Calabria made pignolata ever year for Christmas….but they would cover the balls with candied honey….it would harden a bit and was just great with coffee, black or brown…..on the eastern shore we made a stop in Giardini Naxos. We got a tip from our host about the Cannoli….Like you, we learned to cook from the best😊
Great presentation.
I loved the video on cannoli. Now how about a video on arancini(e)?
Wow that looked like a great trip. Yum.
Omg the musicians in Palermo with the donkey sounds were amazing
That looked like a wonderful trip thru Sicily. I hoped you enjoyed my hometown of Cefalu. Every time I see that beautiful beachside town hugging that mountain, it brings a tear to my eye. God bless you both.
This is a very timely video for me! My wife bought me cannoli forms for my birthday and I'm planning to make my first cannoli today!
That beignet looks heavenly
5:54 Gotta love the owner attitude when Eva says “This is the best cannolo I’ve ever eat in my life”, the owner is like: “No shit” 😂
Omg …FoodGasm ! Mega yum! Thanks for this delightful episode. Love you guys xoxo Justin & Michael 💕
Best cannoli I ever had was Ferrara Bakery in Chicago. I remember being told that the ricotta was sheep ricotta when I was little, but it be cows milk now. Sheep ricotta is hard to find.
Ferrara in New York (different company) sells pre-made filling sold frozen in bags. You deforat in the fridge for a couple of hours, cut the tip off the bag, and pipe into the shell. I buy, shell, and chop my pistachios fresh.
Vizzini is known for its ricotta. It is south eastern Sicily in Catania but closer to Siracusa. Best ricotta sweets I’ve had in Sicily. They have a ricotta festival in April it’s a most do in Sicily.
I’m so hungry now. Loved this episode. Armondo’s! Great seeing this experience. What a nice person.
Can't wait to get back to Sicilia, land of the best cannoli! Had many a cannolo in Sicily, but now have a list of stops for my next visit! Grazie Eva & Harper! So glad you are spending time in the homeland. 🇮🇹❤🇺🇸
Harper, go to Cefalù in the height of summer when the town is full, the sun shining and the sea warm. It's a tourist hotspot for Sicily.
I've never eaten cannoli and been in Sicily! Thank you for the video😊 I noted the places where I should eat cannoli 😜
Delicious, as always.
Yeah! Making on Saturday! Woo hoo!!!!!
Mom was from Agrigento.
I am too jealous to watch. Those canolo look amazingly scrumptious😋😋
THANK YOU FOR GOING TO SICILY!!!!
Hello..Eva and Harper..sono felice ke Harper si è ripreso!!.. È sono molto felice ke sieti arrivati nella bellissima Sicilia!!..i hope That people That would like to vesit Italy comes to Sicily..its another life..of course its a beautiful Island..B.Domenica a tutti..💓
Thank you, thank you, thank you for confirming for me…less sugar in the ricotta! Here in the US most commercial cannolo I’ve had are filled with a thick/pasty and very sweet ricotta. Our family always made them lightly sweetened with confectionery sugar.
If I had to pick one connolo, judging by your reviews, I would have to combine ‘Orlando’s’ sheep/goat ricotta with the flaky shell from ‘Segreti del Chiostro.’ That matches the connolo our parents and grandparents made (Our family is 45 mins from Orlando’s pastry shop. And if f I remember correctly they used coffee and/or marsala wine in the dough.)
Harper's hair in the beginning of the video is sooooo cute! Thanks for the video. Wish we had real cannoli here in central Brazil.
Ohhh how I miss Sicily, My favourite cannolo Is the One from Eurobar in Dattilo (TP) whenever I landed on Trapani I took a detour to Dattilo, the best welcome to Sicily
Now this is a great video
Cannolis are and gave always been my favorite dessert!
Canada cake is so wonderful! My favorite after cannoli!
I had the best canolo ever while in Malta. Of course, it was shipped in from Sicily that very day!
Sensational and yum 😋
The last cannoli I made was with a drop or 2 of cinnamon oil mixed into the ricotta.. It was delicious. I will try to find the sheep's ricotta for the next batch...
