"Dinnertime was rolling near, but it was hard to resist one last treat: a cannoli with cow’s milk ricotta (shown at the top of the post), which they told me was a southern Sicilian thing, different from the sheep’s milk ricotta used in the north of Sicily. The smoother cow’s milk ricotta was more refined, less-grainy."

"Sicily's oldest chocolate factory is the perfect place to taste Modica's famous chocolate. Leave room for Bonajuto's 'mpanatigghi, sweet local biscuits filled with chocolate, spices…and minced beef!"

"And their cannoli? Freshly made and perfectly chilled. Oh boy, do they hit the spot."

"This place not only prepares excellent cannoli of strong artisanal connotation, but also uses completely different chocolate than the one you are accustomed to. The cannoli here are filled and decorated with typical chocolate from Modica, ensuring absolutely healthy and natural flavours."

"We had cannoli in several places during the tour in Sicily, but they were especially fantastic at Antica Dolceria Bonajuto."

"A real heaven for those with a sweet-tooth, the Dolceria does not only offer chocolate bars of different colours and kinds, but also other cornerstones of traditional Sicilian pastry; delicious cannoli which are filled before the customer's eyes with ricotta and chocolate cream before being decorated with pistachios."

"What really blew us away were the cannolis. They filled them on the spot, hazelnut and pistachio, the latter being the best Sicilian cannoli I’ve ever tasted!"

"Antica Dolceria Bonajuto is one of the historic shops where you can find the classic Sicilian products and the Mpanatigghi are truly fantastic."
"One of the best "Cannolo" I have eaten. The "pasta" is crisp and ricotta is so tasty and sweet, and its texture was perfect."
"A special sweet I like to have after the launch, but also in the morning for breakfast. The ones from Bonajuto are certainly some of the best you can find in Modica."
