It's funny, I never really "got" cannolis at all, I'm more of a chocolate torte cake kind of person, but my wife swears by them and always orders one whenever we try a new Italian place... and yes, Cafe Roma does serve a mean cannoli!

For the most part, I enjoy it with coffee instead. Angela, I agree, though I do enjoy a glass of champagne with certain desserts. For the most part, I enjoy it with coffee instead.

I guess, for me, it would only ever work in this sort of meal where the wines are chosen to match perfectly with the food---something I would never do at home. The whole meal sounds wonderful, Erin, and lucky you to be hobnobbing with Seattle gourmets!

I thought I took you to Cafe Roma, but I guess that must have been Sam. I took a lot of friends to Cafe Roma. Rainey, I couldn't agree with you more, I am so happy to be here!

It definitely wasn't light like yours at Barolo, but as it was my first cannoli, I was in no position to complain; but why would I? I was eating a cannoli from Sicily! It was so rich I could only manage half and I couldn't imagine eating one after a big meal, which is, I'm guessing, what the chef at Barolo had in mind. I'm glad you enjoyed your night of schmoozing and I'm looking forward to some proper Endive Chronicles restaurant reviews. :) Not to brag or anything… ok, I’m bragging, but last year during our adventures in Naples, Richard and I ate at a cafe near the ferry docks where they have cannoli shipped in daily from Sicily.
