About Us

The Big Cannoli was established in 2007 on the foundation of family, with father and son partners Val & Michael Cappelli tapping into their love of rich, pure, and irresistible desserts.

Using all-natural and preservative-free ingredients, The Big Cannoli prides itself on our flagship product: the cannoli. Light, fried dough gently cradling a sweet, creamy ricotta filling, and topped with traditional pistachios and confectioner’s sugar; it’s a confection loved by millions and made with love right here in Woodbridge.

But we’re more than just cannoli; rich yet light European pastries & cannoli line our café shelf, ready to receive their creamy filling as soon as you order one. Custom cakes are artfully crafted, topped with intricate details and ornate accents, perfect as the centerpiece of your next grand event. Our aromatic espresso bar provides the perfect European pairing of a piping hot espresso or a freshly steamed cappuccino, while a summer’s day invites a refreshing taste from our varieties of homemade gelato.

All of our confections are made with the care and attention we provide to our own family, so you will be proud to serve them at your events. With the 2012 and 2013 Reader’s Choice Award for Best Cannoli from the Vaughan Citizen, our loyal customers know exactly what they love about The Big Cannoli and we can’t wait to show you ourselves.

Drop by for a macchiato and a cannoli to see just a glimpse of what we can provide for you or for your next event.

Take the gun, leave the cannoli.
