My kingdom for a cannoli!

Cannoli in Los Angeles? Seriously...

Unfortunately this is my reference point, so the bar is set high.

Isgro Brothers does ship, you know. So does the other Italian Market pastry place..

Have you tried Al Gelato on Robertson? I've heard their cannoli's great, though every time I've ever been I can't bring myself to order anything other than the exquisite gelato. (Seriously. TO DIE FOR.)

There's also Bay Cities Italian Deli & Bakery on Lincoln (near Broadway) in Santa Monica, which makes fantastic bread. They also make cannoli, but I haven't sampled it. (Btw, they're closed on Monday.)

Palermo on Vermont near Franklin, in Los Feliz. Great Italian food overall, though I don't have any reference point with which to compare their cannoli. Still, they've got them, so it's one more data point for your search.

I'll second Bay Cities... The Cannoli's are fantastic. It's also one of the best Italian speciatly markets.
