"Modern is hard to miss, with its neon sign and brightly lit windows showing off cannoli, cakes, and other sweet treats. The cannoli at Modern are piped with ricotta filling fresh to order (a key factor that sets it apart from its touristy neighbor). Modern is also home to the city’s best lobster tail, which is a bigger take on sfogliatelle, perhaps the most famous dessert from Naples. Pair your baked goods with a cappuccino, and take some tiramisu and/or amaretto cake for the road. There’s a location in Medford, too." - Erika Adams, Nathan Tavares, Tommy Ranucci
