The final stop on my cannoli tour was D'amato's in the West Loop. (Just a note: they close at 2:00 on Sundays, but if you are totally unaware of the time and knock on the locked door at 2:11 and with a sad face explain that you have a blog and need to try their cannoli, they will let you in. However, chances are all they will have left is chocolate shells, and they will make you pay in cash.)
After puppy dog eyeing my way into a bag full of chocolate cannoli I headed out to visit my friends John and Marla. It didn't take much convincing to get them to help me taste both the Pasticceria Natalina and D'amato's cannoli. It has to be said that these two know their cannoli and I knew they would not be easily impressed. Because we didn't want to have all the fun, their son Logan got in on the taste testing action. As you can see from the pictures, Logan liked D'amato's, and so did we. The cannoli was out of this world. The filling was perfect, not too sweet, not too sour, not too thick, not to runny. The shell, even though it was covered in chocolate, was still crispy and delicious. Overall, D'amato's gets a perfect 5.
D'amato's: 5
