We were staying across the road from this restaurant and we decided to walk in and book. Very glad we did as we got the last two chairs at the bar facing outside! It was wet and cold outside but very warm and friendly inside. All the staff were happy and smiling and so were all the regulars eating there. I had the ravioli and my husband had the lasagna. Both were very tasty and good serving sizes. We also had the Millefoglie for desert. Yum. The restaurant is light and bright and clean. Displays of some of the deserts. Great drinks and wine lists. Perfect local restaurant.

Really nice place. We had different pizzas and lasagna and the authentic tiramisu for desert and I can highly recommend them all. Everything was so delicious. The service was excellent and the only downsize was the lack of menus in other languages.

Nice cozy place, with good wine and decent food. Could improve on music but nevertheless a good place to hang out with your friends

Excellent restaurant!!! Highly recommended!! It feels amazing to discover a gem like this one in the city. I’ve been travelling all over North America within the last 25 years and currently living in Canada (Toronto) and honestly, the service at Cannoleria is top notch. Try “Pinsa Trufe Cotto & Pinsa Gricia” and it basically melts in your mouth, I don’t know what spices they use so it tastes soooo good. I will definitely return!!!

I can confidently say that the Trufe Cotto was one of the best pizzas I've ever had; I really, really, really liked it. Delicious dough, fine quality ingredients. PS: Try with olive oil with chili pepper dressing on top. Adds amazing balance & flavour.

The food is really good! The pasta and salad were amazing. The service is so-so. The girls there seem annoyed by English speaking people, but we were trying our best as we spoke a little Romanian. Not sure. Maybe they were having a bad day.
