The real North Enders eat at the Modern Bakery, on the other side of Hanover Street. Blind taste tests showed that there was simply no comparison between Mike's and the Modern (and both of those are head and shoulders above anything else in the North End).--Rob
Also, Mike's Pastry shop (I think its called) next door to Cafe Vittoria makes great cannoli's as well...

First of all, let me state here that _all_ bakeries in the North End _buy_ their cannoli shells. They make the ricotta mix themselves. Secondly, although Vittoria is very good, Modern Pastry is, IMO, better. Former resident (2 and 1/2 yrs) of Nort End. _____ Alexander M. Milstein, M.D. _____
