Was in the neighborhood and I was craving a cannoli. I didn't want to sit down but instead decided to take out. I was waited on quickly and ordered a chocolate covered cannoli. I couldn't help but notice that the size of the cannoli was about 2/3 the size of the cannoli I purchase at my favorite NYC bakery, Veniero's and also more expensive. The cannoli itself was OK but unremarkable. Besides being a bit on the small side, the shell was more more like a biscuit than the crunchy shell I prefer. There were a few meager chocolate chips scattered at the ends of the cannoli. I think Ferrara's is probably a pleasant place to sit down and have an expresso and a pastry and probably has great appeal to tourists but this native New Yorker won't be rushing back.
