cannoli (plural cannolis or cannoli)
(chiefly in the plural) A tube of fried pastry, typical of Sicily, filled with ricotta or similar cream cheese, and flavorings, eaten as a dessert.
• Those with a good knowledge of Italian may properly use cannolo in the singular and cannoli in the plural, but English speakers without this experience generally say a cannoli, some cannoli(s).

Espresso is both a coffee beverage and a brewing method that originated in Italy. When making an espresso, a small amount of nearly boiling water under pressure forces through finely-ground coffee beans. It has more caffeine per unit volume than most coffee beverages. Its smaller serving size will take three shots to equal a mug of standard brewed coffee.
