| - Nothing really outstanding. I tried the Canolli. It's sweet, it has a chessy creamy yet thick like the icing on a supermarket carrot cake, but it lacks any subtle or distinct flavor/aroma to make this great. Tried the pistachio Sicilia and others like as recommended by some of the reviewers, while it does have an apparent pistachio flavor and whatever flavor associated with the said dessert, there isn't any special dimension to them that made it great. It just tasted like pistachio/passion fruit/[insert whatever flavor you've purchased] cream that you could imagine in your head before you put it in your mouth. The tastes are really standard. If you like your food straightforward and basic and predictable, this would be right up your alley, but if you are looking for subtle, complex flavors and surprises, I got none of that here...and..Everything I tried seems to be on the rather sweet side for desserts, not enough to be sickening sweet, but it's sweet enough that it leaves your mouth feeling sugary 5 minutes later. Maybe I expect too much at this price point, but when it's ranked in the top 20, I was expecting something that would put your Italian grandma's desserts to shame..
