I grew up on the east coast where a canoli isn't so rare as it is in California. But one day I discovered Dianda's at the Italian Festival Street Fair held each year in San Mateo. I was really surprised at the quality, size and value of the pastries, which are authentic and use real imported cheese. My favorites are the Tiramisu and the Mocha cake. I always stock up at the street fair, but there's a location in Crystal Springs Plaza as well.
