So you’ve eaten your North End lunch (and maybe you’re a little drunk too), and now it’s time for your North End dessert. It’s maybe a bit of a cliché, but an eater in the North End could do worse than stopping at Mike’s Pastry, Modern Pastry, Bova Bakery, and Caffé Vittoria.

Forget the cannoli wars, though: Get your cannoli at Mike’s — it’s good for the ‘gram — and go for sfogliatella at Modern. Hit Bova for biscotti — and maybe even an M&M cookie even though it’s decidedly not Italian — and finish up at Vittoria for a cappuccino.
