Cannelloni Montanara: comfort with altitude

Some dishes feed you.
But others: they comfort you, gather you, and tell you a story.

At MyCaffé, our homemade Cannelloni Montanara is more than just a dish.
It’s a message, rolled by hand, filled with depth, and baked with care.

📜 The origin of cannelloni?

The name comes from “canna” (meaning “reed”), referencing the shape.
Although there’s no confirmed inventor, the dish became popular in Campania, Piedmont, and Emilia-Romagna, where families created their own versions.
Some say a Neapolitan chef once made them for King Ferdinand I.
But truth be told? It’s a legend; like most Italian recipes, the real story lives in the hands of those who make them.

✨ So what’s inside our cannelloni?

🍄 Earthy porcini mushrooms, straight from the woods
🐑 Slow-cooked lamb, tender and rich
🌰 A touch of almond crunch
🍄 A hint of truffle, like the whisper of the forest
🌿 And not one, but two pestos: one tomato, one basil

Each one is carefully rolled, baked like a love letter, and served with pride.
