| - Corbo's had me before I even walked in. Case in point: a sign on the door that reads 'Leave the gun, take the cannoli.' (As a disclaimer, this is not a political statement about gun laws, this is a quote from The Godfather).
Cases upon cases upon cases of doughnuts, cassata cake, biscotti (my favorite), cannoli and more will greet you when you enter. Don't be scared to ask the girls behind the counter questions. They'll give you great suggestions! Corbo's is basically a Cleveland institution and you can't go wrong with any order. I love that not only does the bakery have readily available items in the cases, but a freezer full of gelato and other frozen treats, a wall of $3 "odds and ends" boxes of biscotti and cookies (such a deal), and other to-go cakes boxed and ready to go. The "odds and ends" are literally just as good as anything else deemed as perfect.
We all know parking in Little Italy can be tough. Should you be in the neighborhood and happen to find a spot, just take it. Go in and get something even if you don't need it! Store it in the fridge and eat it later. For me, the must tries at Corbo's are the freshly stuffed cannoli and the cassata cake. Definitely leave the gun and take the cannoli.
