Cannoli kitchen | Application Preview
Cannoli Kitchen, a long-standing pizza restaurant and community staple in Boca Raton since 1996, is applying for government funding to support continued operations and growth. Under new ownership since 2017, the business has maintained a strong commitment to its employees and customers, weathering challenges like COVID-19 without laying off staff.
The grant would be used to sustain day-to-day operations, boost liquidity, and fund marketing efforts—including twice-yearly mail campaigns and social media (reels) to attract new residents who are unaware of the restaurant, despite living locally. The business also plans to expand its outdoor patio and add a deli counter with milkshake offerings.
Cannoli Kitchen distinguishes itself from local competitors by offering large portions made with fresh, in-house ingredients, such as homemade sauces, pizza dough, and desserts like cannolis. The owners emphasize their integrity, hard work, and community values—including sharing leftover food with those in need—and view this funding as essential for overcoming a recent downturn and continuing to serve the Boca Raton community with pride.

Funding Usage
We would like your help to sustain our store. To help with a marketing campaign and do a mail blast, 2x a year and REELS as well. Since 2023 a lot of residents of Boca Raton have left and new ones have arrived. We need to trigger all the new clients ( we noticed when they come in to order they tell us it’s their first time, even though residing here for over a year ). We would also use the funds for day-to-day operations and have the liquidity in the account. Are clients and employees are top priority since 2017. Through Covid times, through hardship to good times we have never laid employees. We consider them as family. Will reduce the hours of the employees, but we never lay them off.
