Tiramisu and Cannoli are two of Italy’s best-known desserts, and both are on the menu at Joe’s Pizza Italian Cuisine & Bar. They share an Italian pastry heritage, but they’re built very differently — here’s what each one is, and how Joe’s Pizza Italian Cuisine & Bar serves them.
What Is Tiramisu, Generally?
Tiramisu is a no-bake, layered Italian dessert. In its traditional form, ladyfinger cookies are soaked in espresso (sometimes with a splash of liqueur), then layered with a sweetened Mascarpone cheese mixture and dusted with cocoa powder. It's served chilled, in slices or individual portions, and eaten with a fork.

Joe’s Pizza Italian Cuisine & Bar’s Tiramisu is described on the menu as: “Ladyfingers soaked in espresso, layered with Mascarpone cream and dusted with cocoa — Italy’s most beloved dessert.” It’s priced at $6.00.
What Is Cannoli, Generally?
Cannoli is a Sicilian pastry: a tube-shaped shell made from fried dough, left crisp and hollow, then filled (traditionally just before serving, so the shell stays crunchy) with a sweetened ricotta cheese filling. Unlike tiramisu, it’s a handheld dessert rather than a plated, layered one.

Joe’s Pizza Italian Cuisine & Bar’s Cannoli is described on the menu as: “Crisp pastry shells filled with sweet, creamy ricotta filling — a classic Sicilian Italian dessert.” It’s priced at $6.00, the same as Tiramisu.
