I love Cassata cake! ... but haven't had it in years. Thank you very much for making me crave something that I can not find in my part of NC. I'll have to renew my quest.

Arancini! Now that's some savory slice (well, ball) of heaven right there. Surprising at it seems, they actually have fantastic arancini at Carrabba's. Oh god, now I'm drooling.
I have eaten a few cannolis in my life. Most Italian Americans around here have their roots in the Marches, northeast of Rome.
Don't feel bad. I'm in NJ, which has lots of Italians and Sicilians, and I never even heard of it.
Would like to try it, though.
