colazione

Roberto's magic




My favorite meal of the day (perhaps because it's the first one) is breakfast. Roberto sees me walk into his cafe and even before I reach the busy marble counter, he's already artfully getting my double cappuccino together. As I pour in a spoonful of sugar and  quietly begin stirring, he presents me with a perfectly glazed cornetto. Or a warm pain au chocolat, if that's what he's been making on that day. Not a word spoken, only smiles.
Can't you just smell the joy?


Buona giornata!

  8. On occasion, a meal on a table in front of me says "take a picture". I understand your feeling with this one. I have one of a sushi serving once and I love it. Food! Si!

  9. Oh yes, I can! And I love it when you go to one place often and they know what you want the moment you step in. I still have to find one café like that here...

  10. This is why we need to go to Italy. This is why it is the cradle of Western civilization. How much more lyrical than Starbucks.

  11. Great breakfast. I'll come along and have a cup of black coffee and a chocolate croissant too.

  12. I CAN smell the coffee! And my mouth also waters for a brioche. Is it possible to get a bad coffee and pastry in Italy? My experience says no.
