Our Story

Mama Cannoli began with a tent, some tables, our family’s cannoli recipe and a dream to share our family traditions with our local community.

Teresa’s father learned how to make delicious authentic Italian pastries in the Bronx, NY after coming to the United States from Naples, Italy. Owning his first pastry shop at the age of 18 in Brooklyn, he found his passion through hard work and dedication. We have had the amazing privilege to share a piece of that passion with all of you!

Combined with Jimmy's family traditions, rooted in the importance of community and service, son of an Air Force veteran and dedicated school teacher, we found the perfect recipe for our small business!

With our dream in hand, the timing just felt right.  Our weekends and evenings got a lot quieter with all our kids in college or working now. So outside of our full time jobs,  we began to spend our weekends filling cannoli at farmers markets, food truck events and local breweries. And we are enjoying every minute!!!

We love to see the look on someone’s face when the taste of one of our cannoli brings them back to their childhood memories, just as much as we love seeing someone try a cannoli for the very first time!!

The encouragement and support we have received from our family , friends, the vendor community and all of you has been overwhelming. We are so grateful!

Our first first brick-and-mortar cannoli shop is now open in South Daytona, FL

This new location will allow us to expand our cannoli menu to include more of our popular featured flavors, introduce new menu items, pastries, cookies, Italian ice, and full coffee menu.

This shop represents everything we’ve worked toward — a place filled with tradition, community, and the joy of sharing food made with love.

We can’t wait to open our doors and welcome you in!
