Italian pastry shop in DC?

[Anonymous]

Happy St Joseph's Day! I want to eat a cannoli. Any place I can get one in DC?

[Anonymous]

Call Vacarros in Baltimore and ask who they distribute to in DC (the one in DC closed but they send their stuff to local restaurants/cafes in DC I think). Theirs are the best.

Try Vace or Cornocopia in Bethesda

Vaccaros has an actual cannoli factory at 8949 Brookeville road in Silver spring. Go, knock on the back door and a lady will open up and sell you canolis, large or small, with the filling. You can't buy just one.... You have to buy a dozen with filling. Fortunately, a dozen of The small with filling bag is only about $12. The cream comes opin a plastic bag, frozen.

10:58, that is the best information I'll get all day! I've passed that place lots of times but never stopped. Now I am definitely stopping! In fact, I'll be over there on Friday! Oooh, I can't wait!

I know the Union Station location closed, is the foggy bottom one closed too? Agree they are the best in the area.

i have also passed by that place. i see their signs about cannolis and have always wondered about the mechanics of getting them since they look wholesale (but their signs are all like "come in, buy some!")

Maybe the Italian Store in Arlington? Their menu only shows the pizza, subs, etc. but you could call and ask.

You can do carry out from Two Amys.

Ok, DCUM, now where can I buy sfogliatelle!? I need my fix...

[Anonymous]

Foggy Bottom Vaccaros closed about 2 years ago. I thought they had gone out of business!

Vace used to have sfogliatelle. Haven't looked for a while, but I bet they do.
