Had some cookies and a cannoli from the food truck. The cannoli was amazing. Fresh and crispy. Ate one and the other one i had save to bring to work. The next day at work the cannoli wasn't as crispy as it was the first day. But it definitely wasn't soggy either. Which I was amazed. Most places when you eat the cannoli the next day it has that refrigerator softness to it. This definitely did not. Will definitely go the actual bake shop next time to see all the goodies they have. I 100% recommend this place to everyone to give a try. read more

Meriano's Cannoli Truck - Food Trucks Near Me - Madison, Connecticut

Meriano's Cannoli Truck is a mobile cannoli bakery that launched in Madison, Connecticut in June 2013. It is a food truck spin-off of Meriano's Bake Shoppe which opened in Guilford in July 1988. The bakery was founded by Anthony Meriano: the son of Italian immigrants. After managing Lupone's Department Store for 28 years, he opened his own bakery with his wife Elizabeth. Their children Anthony J. Meriano, Liz Meriano Neumann, and Andrea Meriano Fanelli also worked at the bakery. After Anthony and Elizabeth retired, their children took over the bakery. Elizabeth passed away in 2008 and Anthony followed her in 2010. The bakery moved to Madison in 2014. In 2013, the Meriano Family decided to launch a cannoli food truck: the only one of its kind in Connecticut. Today you can find the truck at various festivals, farmers markets and private events around the state. I recently sampled a delicious cannolo from the Cannoli Truck before attending a CT Cult Classics 'Triple Feature' at the historic Strand Theater in Seymour. I had previously tried some of Meriano's cannoli at a cannoli-tasting event and was impressed. On this particular occasion, the truck was parked in the parking lot adjacent to the movie theater so patrons could get some delicious cannoli before the show. The truck was offering a variety of flavors including "Traditional", "Pistachio", "Death by Chocolate", "Chocolate Dip" and "Oreo". The one that caught my eye was "Peppermint Latte". This sounded like the perfect cannolo to enjoy for the Christmas season! The employee asked me if I was planning on eating it right then and there. When I acknowledged that I was, he replied, "That's the right answer!" The shell was so crispy and the filling was bursting with refreshing peppermint flavor and some nice notes of coffee. It didn't take long for the pastry to disappear. I look forward to the next time that I see the Cannoli Truck at an event! read more

These guys do a very good cannoli. They are not the best out there, they definitely make their cannolis appeal to the fair crowds. But they are tasty and the shells are fresh. With as many sweet treats that fairs attract, this would be the truck I would make a stop to if I had nothing new to try. They are very good for that one last treat to take home. Give them a try! read more

One of the best family owned businesses. Everyone is there is so kind and sweet. All the delicious treats are SO delicious.

The best cannolis I've ever eaten. Fresh and crispy shells, fresh and delicious filling. Great varieties from which to choose. Loved them!

The variety of cannolis is impressive. The Oreo cannoli was a crowd pleaser as well as the chocolate dip shelled cannoli. I love the pink pastry boxes, I will be visiting again in the near future! read more

I am beyond amazed at this bakery. I had a destination wedding, so needless to say I had no cake top to celebrate my one year anniversary. I contacted Meriano's to see if they could replicate my original wedding cake so I could surprise my husband for our one year anniversary. They were able to do so and I was beyond excited. Keep in mind this was all done with pictures through Facebook messenger as it was during COVID-19. Unfortunately, the day of my anniversary my husband was rushed to the hospital for emergency surgery. I went and picked up my cake a put it in the freezer. I figured, oh well, maybe next year. Well this past weekend we were invited to a friends for food and a bonfire. I had nothing to bring, so I took my cake out of the freezer and decided to bring it. A friend of mine that actually came to my wedding was at this party. When the hostess opened the box my friend said, hey that's your wedding cake!" I told everyone my story and we all dug in. Well, needless to say the cake was amazing. It tasted like I picked it up 2 hours ago, not 3 and half months ago. I love the ladies at this bakery. They really do work miracles. I will always do business here going forward. read more

For $3.50 at the Coventry Farmer's Market, I had the best cannoli I've ever had in my life. The Mounds cannoli is a generous size with coconut and chocolate-y goodness. I've also had the Heath and Peanut Butter-Chocolate, which were somewhat similar to each other but also rich and delicious. The cannolis are a great treat and easily shared. read more

Meriano's Cannoli Truck - Food Trucks Near Me - Madison, Connecticut

I've had Meriano's cannoli's in the past. The ones sold from their truck are no different than the ones sold from their Guilford shop. Their selection of different types of cannoli's is just right....not too many and not too few. They offer eight flavors. Their cannoli's have a thicker shell and a slightly sweeter filling than ordinary cannoli's. They're not bad. The chocolate dipped ones are double dipped both on the inside and outside with lots of chocolate. Yum. $3 bucks each. What a great concept. Selling cannoli's from a truck! Now if someone can figure out how to sell cupcakes from a truck. .... Oh. Wait. read more

Meriano's Cannoli Truck - Chocolate Dipped Cannoli $3 - Food Trucks Near Me - Madison, Connecticut

Really great cannoli and unique flavors I've never seen offered before. I've been lucky enough to come across The Cannoli truck at two CT fares. At first I tried the original which was freshly piped which kept the integrity of the crispy shell and the filling was just right- not too sweet but creamy and velvety. Yesterday I tried the chocolate strawberry after someone passed by with it and it looked divine. I normally don't go for the chocolate covered shell but this one was excellent. The filling tasted like a fresh strawberry sauce was mixed in with chocolate chips included as well. Delicious! I will be buying a cannoli every time I see this truck. They also had additional options like Oreo to name one I can remember. Oh how I can't wait to see you again! read more

I have always loved raspberry vienna cookie.... These are the best I have ever eaten. The butter cookie aspect to these cookies are so light and fluffy. They virtually melt in your mouth. The raspberry is simply, but that that's the beauty of filling it compliments the butter cookie. The same can be said for chocolate dip. I will have to locate the truck and try their infamous cannoli. I bought these cookies at Liuzzi in north haven. The clerk said they were the best she ever had as well. So glad I tried them read more

Hands down, they are the best cannolis in the area, they even rival the best ones for little Italy... They make them fresh in front of you, so no soggy shells! read more

Here was my first even cannoli experience and I was instantly hooked. Unfortunately they did such a great job that I have been disappointed every other time I ordered a cannoli from anywhere else. They had (and still may) this peanut butter cannoli which I still think about sometimes. read more

The best cannoli I've found in southeast CT. Not soggy or overly dry/crunchy, sweet but not overly so. Just great!

Oreo cannoli is delicious! And my brother got a strawberry cannoli in a chocolate dipped shell which was great.
