When traveling to Italy, one of the most interesting and enjoyable aspects of the cuisine is exploring what Italians eat for breakfast. A traditional Italian breakfast often consists of a light snack that is both healthy and filling.
Many Italians start their day with an espresso or cappuccino accompanied by fresh fruit, pastries, cheese-filled focaccia, or crostini topped with prosciutto and local cheeses. Whether it’s served in a cafe or a convivial home setting, a typical Italian breakfast will excite the palate and provide energy until lunchtime.
