Yes, I’m pretty sure it is the biggest cappuccino in Italy. I usually don’t drink so much milk in the morning, preferring my beloved marocchino to the cappuccino, but one must always be open to making exceptions in life. See the juice on the left? It is dwarfed, and it’s not a trick of the camera. That spoon is not the cutesy demitasse spoon, it’s a full-size teaspoon.
But after the huge Easter lunch I had it was a welcome, erm, digestive aid. So I looked forward to my big cappuccino with relish in the morning. It didn’t hurt that she mixed in some of her homemade butter cookies and jam, along with the cornetto and some juice to give you some fruit in your Italian breakfast!
For the next three days, I’ll be having more of this kind of breakfast – a proper English fry up:
As I spend a few days in London after the volcano interrupted my earlier trip.
Have a great weekend!
Where in Italy did you find that! I was searching for a LARGE coffee of any kind and found it almost comical how small the coffee portions are! I was in Rome & Florence! I want that Cappuccino every morning during my next visit! What a FIND!
Beautiful! But my eye was wandering to the pastry and wondering what it looked like. I cram as many cornetto as possible into my carry on when coming home. Maybe it gets old? I would have to balance it with eggs or cereal sometime but they are so good!
Just found this blog from a twitter link! marrochino is my very favorite milanese caffe. And I could literally live on aperitivi. Must get back to Milan sometime soon! Do you know San Carlo near the Duoma? I used to be a regular there when I was living in the area! Around the holidays they would give you a huge spoonful of liquered-up whipped cream with your coffee, to eat or just stir in… yum!
I’m not that into coffee, but a big English breakfast…yum yum!!! Hope you made it back safely…
I found your link via Sarah’s blog and I wanted to say that I love Italy and it’s coffee and all. That is one big hunk of a cappuccino
