When you think of Italian food, you probably think of pizza and pasta, but the desserts at Pasticceria Alati-Caserta in Montreal's Little Italy will remind you that cannolis are your favourite flavour from the country.

Alati-Caserta makes these tasty treats like nowhere we've ever seen before.

Opened in 1968, Alati-Caserta has been bringing the tastes of the old country to its new home and smiles to the people of Montreal for over 50 years.

A bakery and a pastry shop, the spot makes things like Sicilian pizza, olive bread, biscotti, tiramisu and more.

But what's really popular here are the cannolis, which are beautifully created and are just as delicious as they are magnificent. 

You can, of course, get your classic cannoli, but while you're there, why not pick up a red velvet, pistacchio or any of the other amazing flavours?

They're so good, they'll have you saying, "Holy cannoli!" from start to finish... and probably even after that.
