There is an ongoing debate around who makes the best cannoli in Boston. The most popular answers are Mike’s, Modern, and Bova’s. We were recommended to these three bakeries by different friends, and we ended up choosing Modern. (1) Unlike the other spots, Modern Pastry fills the cannoli with fresh ingredients when you order. This ensures the crispiness of the shell, as the fillings won’t make the shell soggy while sitting in the pastry shelf all day. (2) You can customize the filling, shell and toppings at Modern. They even have gluten-free shell available. Chocolate dipped shell and ricotta filling are fire. (3) The takeout line is long but it moves fast. They also do delivery via Grubhub if you want to avoid the wait. ＊Pistachio Plain Cannoli I picked plain shell with crushed pistachio and ricotta filling. The shell felt so crunchy and fresh. The ricotta was rich, creamy and not sickly sweet. I loved the generous amount of pistachio dip. ＊Chocolate Chip Cannoli My bf chose chocolate dipped shell with chocolate chips and ricotta filling. The chocolate dipped shell was so good that I regretted a little not getting it! ＊Key Lime Pie The sharpness of the lime was like a punch in your face. The lemon custard filling was very acidic and citrusy in a good way, while the biscuit crust added a crunch to the pie.

The local oysters and lobster ravioli were 🔥. Numerous gluten-free options for my wife. And Judy brought it home with excellent service.

Wait can be long but we arrived around noon on a weekday and only waited 5 mins. At 3pm the day before, the wait would have been about 2 hours. Restaurant is very tiny. Everyone is very friendly and service was great. Now... on to the food! The chowder was delicious with tons of flavor; the broth wasn't too thick, more like a stew. Hot lobster roll was excellent, loaded with meat and fries were very good. My girlfriend who has Celiac really appreciated the option of the hot lobster roll with a generously portioned arugula salad instead of fries which were not gluten free. She raved about the anchovy lemon vinaigrette! I will never let my girlfriend forget her $16.50 blood orange Bellini which she very much enjoyed. Neptune Oyster is a definite must in Boston!
