Tony “Cannoli” Volpentesta learned the art of dessert-making in the heart of his Italian grandmother’s kitchen, where flour dusted the air and tradition was the secret ingredient in every bite. Driven by a lifelong passion and a relentless pursuit of perfection, Tony has dedicated himself to crafting the perfect cannoli shell—each one a golden, crispy vessel for his luscious, creamy fillings.
At Tony Cannoli, he blends old-world techniques with new-school creativity, serving up a delightful variety of cannoli-inspired treats that go beyond the classic. Indulge in bite-sized Cannoli Bites, scoop into his signature Cannoli Chips ‘n Dip, or celebrate with a decadent Cannoli Cake—each treat a playful twist on the timeless Italian dessert.
Located in the heart of downtown Mundelein, Tony’s dessert shop is a must-visit for anyone craving a sweet escape. Whether you’re a lifelong cannoli lover or just discovering them for the first time, there’s something for everyone.
Ages: 7 and up — because it’s never too early (or too late) to fall in love with cannoli!
