Reply to comment by nsolarz in Are there any places/activities in Boston that are underrated because they are typically associated with tourists or being touristy? by MrMadLeprechaun

This may be an unpopular opinion but I lived in the north end and was never enthralled with anything from Bova’s. Mike’s or Moderns for me

Agreed—never understood the Bovas hype, feels like a “I’m a local so I don’t go to tourist traps” snobby thing. Mikes, any weekday or weeknight, no line. It’s the best

I think the appeal for Bovas is simply the fact that if you want a cannoli at 330AM after drunken shenanigans, you can get one there... unlike Mikes or Modern..

The “don’t go here go to bova’s” like clockwork posts WHENEVER cannolis is brought up leads me to believe you’re 💯right

I don't know why people like cannoli so much when lobster tails (if you can handle the size) are the superior option.

My feeling is that once you reach a threshold of not being terrible, they plateau and are pretty much the same -- an okay, but overall unremarkable dessert in the mix of options.
