I had been on a small quest to try and find really terrific Cannoli's, a Italian pastry with creamy ricotta, 
that I got curious about after watching The Soprano's. After a bit of googling, a place in Santa Rosa, LoCoCo's Cucina Rustica popped up. They seemed to get rave reviews, so I had to check it out. Indeed I think they were right, the best darn Cannoli's I've had. I'll be back. Admittedly I had only had them in three other places before and they were all fairly terrible in comparison. I'm wondering if if the problem is that they had been refrigerated too long, I don't really know. It could be that this pastry has to be REALLY fresh to be good, and no other place actually made them in house, but these guys do though.

finale.
finale. Before I forget to mention it: as we got seated, we were served sourdough bread with a homemade wonderful tapenade-type spread with chopped olives, olive oil and I think it had some walnuts. Too bad I couldn't buy it, it was terrific.
You can find this restaurant by the old railroad square in Santa Rosa. It's a fine Italian establishment for sure. Be sure to try the Cannoli.
