Cannoleria's 1000 Free Cannoli Giveaway
Cannoleria is setting up shop at Queen Vic — and shouting 1000 mini cannoli to early birds on opening day.
Overview
Set your alarms and mark your calendars, folks: Thursday, October 5 is set to be a big day for cannoli lovers (so, basically everyone). Cannoleria is opening a permanent residence at Queen Victoria Market's dairy hall, and it's celebrating in style.
The first to step through their doors between 10am–12pm on opening day will be treated to free cannoli. So be quick, 1000 will quickly become 900, then 800 and so on. (We don't need to explain maths to you.)
Friends, this is the stuff that ricotta-filled dreams are made of — That's Amore ricotta to be precise. Launched in 2018 by the creators of That's Amore Cheese, Cannoleria has been filling its cannoli daily with fresh ricotta and other classic (and not-so-classic) fillings ever since. Do yourself a favour and experience the rocher, as made with Nutella ricotta and hazelnut crumble.
After setting up shop in South Melbourne Market in 2019, Cannoleria began popping up all over Melbourne, going so far as to establish a factory in Heidelberg West in 2020. So, in short, these babies are popular — and a new permanent location in the heart of the city is just plain good news.
If you miss the initial opening, you can still go and grab yourself a cannolo or two at the permanent Queen Vic store every Tuesday, Thursday and Friday from 6am–3pm; on Saturdays from 6am–4pm; and on Sundays from 10am–4pm.
So, whether you're a local out for your weekly shop or perusing Queen Vic for the first time, you might want to swing by and grab yourself a little taste of Italia. Ciao for now.
