Where To Get Cannoli Filled To Order On Court Street

Pasticceria Monteleone is a Carroll Gardens pasticceria on Court Street, where the shells for cannoli stay empty until you order and the counter pipes in sweet ricotta on the spot. The cases run long with sfogliatelle, lobster tails, rainbow cookies, and Italian cheesecakes, and an espresso machine works behind the register. Whole cakes and holiday trays come out of the same kitchen for the neighborhood's tables. Ask for a cannoli dipped in pistachio or chocolate chips, filled while you wait to keep the shell crisp. A 4.7 rating across the reviews reflects a steady Court Street following.
