Read MoreRising out of the suburban homes in Avondale Heights is this pretty darn delicious slice of Sicily, disguised as a Cannoli Bar! It is hidden among houses so you'd be forgiven if you thought you were in the wrong place - but as you round the corner you spot the old-school shop and your taste buds will let you know you've just found heaven!
We came for Cannoli but it is so much more! The music alone creates a fantastic atmosphere and the selection of food and fare on offer is mouth watering!
Of course the cannoli is amazing - the classico, nutella and pistaschio options were creamy and crispy (yes mamma tried them all - oopss!) the coffee is amazing too!
Mamma's special mentions: there is a cool park called Canning Reserve on the river not far away - grab some yummy treats and go and have a picnic !
