Step into Mike’s Pastry, the bustling cornerstone of Boston's Italian district, where cash-only treats like colossal cannoli and decadent lobster tails draw a throng of sweet-toothed locals and tourists alike.
"In addition to churning out massive numbers of cannoli, Mike's also offers a creamy ricotta pie, served by the slice or as a whole pie available to order. Plan ahead if you want to order a full pie, as it can often be sold out." - Celina Colby, Dana Hatic
"The subject of one of Boston’s fiercest food debates is cannoli. In the eyes of locals, Mike’s Pastry may or may not win out all the time — you’ll get a different answer from every person you ask — but it’s been a destination for tourists and Bostonians for decades, and there’s something about that tied-up white box that always triggers a cannoli craving." - Eater Staff
