best cannoli and ice cream place in the bay area, really like the old world vibe

by yelenagoodspy

Romolo's Ice Cream is a cute place in San Mateo near the hillsdale mall that serves traditional italian and sicilian desserts. Their ice creams and cakes are the best I have ever had, but its the cannoli that I love!! Its so nice to eat a cannoli and drink a capuccino. I feel like I am in the old world when I go there. The family that owns Romolo's is really nice too.

Oh! I just learned they are going to open this summer, so we can get cannoli and ice cream year round!

Sweet
