Toronto’s Sweetest Secret? Holy Cannoli Might Be It
What started as a family tradition rooted in Sicilian heritage has quickly become a local obsession in Toronto’s Long Branch neighborhood. Founded by Vanessa Chiara and her husband Tom, Holy Cannoli is serving up what they proudly call “Toronto’s best fresh-filled cannoli”—and the community is here for it.
From classic ricotta to unique seasonal flavors, each cannoli is made with love, passion, and a whole lot of history. With roots tracing back to a family-run bakery in Scarborough and generations of Italian baking, Holy Cannoli is more than just a dessert shop—it’s a slice of tradition wrapped in a crispy shell and filled to perfection.
With overwhelming support from the neighborhood and big plans ahead, one thing’s clear: Holy Cannoli isn’t just a treat, it’s a movement.
