Cannoli may not be as American as apple pie, but they can taste like it. Or so says Stuffed Artisan Cannolis, the storefront outgrowth of a Little Italy street cart dedicated to miniature and full-sized confections in a staggering array of oddball flavors, inspired by everything from special occasions to soda fountains. Besides the fairly conventional pistachio and chocolate varieties, the menu lists French toast, birthday cake, and root-beer float—“the N.J. Diner Classic.” (176 Stanton St., nr. Clinton St.; 212-995-2266.)
