> Nestled in a quiet strip mall near a hair studio and music school, on an unassuming North York street, Rustic Bakery at 318 Rustic Rd., near Keele and the 401, is one shop whose quaint name belies its vast offerings. > > The cannolis are especially popular and tasty, made with fillings such as ricotta or custard. But what reels in many customers is the heady range of prepared Italian food, including pizzas and such hot-table goodies as lasagna, veal cutlets, roasted veggies, fried fish, and arancini rice balls. > > The shop has more than 40 shelves packed with dozens of different pastas, 14 types of olives and 23 kinds of cookies and biscuits. > > “This is more than a bakery,” she says, and she’s not even talking about the offerings. “It’s a community.”
Rustic is one of my favourites for cannoli in Toronto – the ricotta is super light and milky, it’s very distinct.

Rustic has some of the best cannoli in the city. Hot table is lacking though. Cataldi has surpassed them imo.
