It is a rare occasion in New York City to sit down and enjoy a breakfast that doesn't consist of a bagel with cream cheese, a banana or just a cup of coffee. With your busy schedule, sitting down to a meal has become more of a novelty than a luxury. Every now and again it would be delightful to start your morning off with a hearty breakfast and good company.
Give yourself a break from 8 to 11 a.m. and take the time to sit down for an amazing breakfast at Ristorante Settepani. Don't be shy about giving your body the morning treat it needs.
Colazione (breakfast in Italian) at Ristorante Settepani begins with your choice of coffee, tea or hot chocolate. For your meal, choose from a selection of Italian breakfast specialties like the simple I Dolci di Settepani, with your choice of homemade croissants, danish or muffins and a glass of freshly squeezed arancia (orange) juice.
For a slightly more filling option, try the Irish oatmeal with honey, brown sugar and raisins or two eggs any style served with potatoes and toast. If you are really craving a hearty breakfast, choose from the quiche del giorno (of the day), made on a fountain of caramelized onions and a selection of pickings from the Marcus Garvey greenmarket; Schiaki Sciuka, made with scrambled eggs and sauteed onions, tomatoes, eggplants, zucchini and capers; Scramble di Salmone Affumicato, an omelet served with smoked salmon; or the Omelette di Cacciocavallo, Pomodori e Basilico, an omelet made with Cacciocavallo cheese, tomatoes and basil.
In Italy, it is customary to enjoy a leisurely breakfast before beginning your day. Pretend you are European for at least one day out of your week, when you indulge in a delicious breakfast at Ristorante Settepani.
