"This legendary pastry shop could go head-to-head with Mike’s Pastry in the North End. The original owners were of French origin, but the shop started offering cannoli and sfogliatelle to please the village’s Italian population. Don’t be concerned about the hollow cannoli shells on the shelves — the ricotta is filled fresh to order. Be sure to try the Nutella-twisted pretzels and the Neapolitan rum baba. Antoine’s is open for in-store shopping." - Tommy Ranucci
