Cultural Tip
Traditional Italian breakfast is light—coffee, a croissant (cornetto) or biscotti. Toast and eggs is more common in the north, in family homes, or in cafés that cater to an international palate. The word “toast” is an English loanword; older generations might prefer “fette di pane tostato”.
