I’m not a big fan of local home businesses, but that probably has to do more with the fact that most just sell different implementations of cupcakes and don’t really bring anything new to the local food scene. Pasticceria Di Pietro on the other hand is something new and going by the photos alone looks very appetizing.
According to the website, Pasticceria Di Pietro is the first family business Sicilian pastry shop in Kuwait owned by married couple, Mays and Luciano Di Pietro. They sell Sicilian Cannoli’s which are hand-rolled, crispy golden pastry shells filled with different cream stuffings.
I haven’t tried them out yet since they just started taking orders yesterday but their prices start from KD1 for the small sized cannoli up to KD1.750 for the larger ones with chocolate shells. If you’re interested, you can order directly from their website [Here]
Thanks Mohi

I’ve always wanted to say, “leave the gun, take the cannoli” 😀
That is exactly what I wanted to comment with! 😀
Grazie Mille Mark!
My wife & I highly appreciate your motivating view and compliments. 🙂
I tried these at the Qout market, they were delicious!
Thanks Tarek, We are glad you liked them
I wonder how they get around the alcohol that goes into the cannoli creme? One of my students just told me yesterday that he’s going to introduce real Italian cannolis to Kuwait! Goes to show there are no original ideas. My student, a young Kuwaiti, is trying to find a substitute for the alcohol — that doesn’t sound good to a cannoli fan from the USA.
Hi Dr.John
True, some cannoli’s do come with alcohol; but that is one of many ways it’s done in. There is a difference between cannoli’s done in pastry shops and homemade cannoli’s in Sicilia. Each family house hold does them with different ingredients, depending on their taste and preference.
My wife and I are certified from taking courses specializes in Sicilian pastries & desserts. What makes our cannoli’s authentic as well is the step by step process of making it, as we do our own ricotta cheese, candied orange peels from scratch and cannoli shells.
Our Cannoli’s are 100% alcohol free and made from the freshest ingredients.
I tried them at the Christmas bazaar at Salwa Al-Sabah Hall and I was very impressed with both the taste and presentation. I found them to be authentic.
Hi Haitham, We are happy that you liked them 🙂 Thanks!
Wow! I’m gonna order it.
I love cannoli’s and have been craving them for a while, but didn’t know where to find it in Kuwait! Thanks for the sharing! Can’t wait to order & eat this tasty goodness! 🙂
Devo provarlo ! in bocca al lupo Luciano.
Grazie Mille!
