This cannolo has pistachio filling only at visible ends, giving the impression that it's completely filled. In reality, the middle part is empty. Bought in Lidl, UK.

This is every cannoli I have ever had, even at very expensive restaurants and bakeries. They are nothing but disappointment in a hard shell. It's one of those things everyone thinks they make the best one, how I haven't had a good one and I just need to try theirs. Nope, still half filled sadness.

Sorry to hear that. I love cannoli, I had them in my local Italian restaurants and street food stalls, as well as in Italy, and was never disappointed. The best one I had was in a cafe in Palermo.

The trick in recognising an actual cannolo is they should only have empty shells on display and fill one in front of you.
