Denver isn't exactly known for its cannoli[2], but I've found a spot that does it right.
Order the pastry after a round of Napoletana pizza at Marco's Coal Fired Pizzeria[3] in the Ballpark neighborhood. The restaurant, included in our Best New Restaurants[4] feature (on newsstands now), keeps the dessert simple with a crispy shell, lightly sweetened ricotta cheese, and a judicious allotment of mini chocolate chips.
