Colazione (breakfast)
Italian breakfast is traditionally light. Which really means just coffee, specifically, caffè moka, espresso, cappuccino or caffè latte. Those with caffeine or lactose intolerance will drink caffe’ d’orzo; a nutty, warm drink made from roasted barley. Italians who want to eat something just to hold them over until lunch usually grab a pastry, or a biscotti or a piece of cake. Anyhow, no worries, at L’Arte we offer a lot more for breakfast (just look below) because even though we are Italiophiles we get it, we’re in New Jersey!
