Here's a quick hit of info on it. Spelling is actually "Caçoila", which I'm not sure bears any heritage from Italy.

Very not fair to share with all of us!! Which brings up the question, any ideas where/when cacciola came from. Was it first a part of a religious celebration of our ancestors as I know when one goes to festas you usually have this delicious treat. And since this perked the genealogist interest in me, I decided to see if any of our ancestors used this as their last name, since they were sometimes so creative with their last names, and I checked it out on Ancestry; believe it or not it is a very much Italian surname!
