I went to Mike’s Pastry last night—allegedly the best Italian bakery in Boston. They are most famous for their cannoli and they have a ton of different flavors, among those, amaretto, pistachio, and chocolate mousse. I tried two types: one yellow cream and one ricotta florentine (pictured below).
No picture of the yellow cream because it was finished yesterday, but I just ate the one above for an afternoon snack after a late breakfast of the last piece of peach pie.
The pastry is good but the best part of the whole deal is the packaging—blue and white boxes tied up with string. The picture above is my sloppy retying job rather than the impeccable twirly tying by the woman who served me. For a few blocks around the store you spot a lot of people carrying these boxes.
