I'd love to try some of the food but way to expensive for me.  I live in the midwest so not used to those prices like the two coasts are.  Did anyone try the meatballs?

Wow, $75.00 for 12 Cannoli's...really???  What are they made

 

of Gold???


@gaga.  If they sell for up to $6/each locally and they are shipped dry ice by UPS Next Day Air tonyour home, that seems to be in line with the market price.

 

12 for $75. Is not a gold price.

  The price is that high due to ( drum roll )  " Free Shipping "

 In my area canolli's are $4 to $6 each .


 

 

 

??

 

$6 each x one dozen IS $72.00

 

 

I have no issue with the price, $6 each is the same price as my local Italian Market.

 

However, Cannoli's need to be consumed fairly quickly or the shells will go soft!

 

With shipping distance and time (regardless of dry ice), I would question the ability to keep a nice crisp cannoli shell unless they are shipping them unfilled??

Cannolis at my local Italian market are $3.99.

Little piece of information you might find interesting.  "Cannoli" is already plural.  The singular is "cannolo."  

 

I realize it is common for people to hear or say cannolis.

That is a bit high. We have Rispoli’s in our area which has been in business since 1930s & family run. I haven’t found any better & we have a large Italian population; my husband is Italian & we live there part time. Rispoli is $4.00 cash or $4.16 CC per large pastry.
