Breakfast in Italy can be simple:
(cappuccino and brioche in Camogli)
or elaborate:
(buffet breakfast at Hotel Eden in Sirmione, Lake Garda)
Breakfast in Italy can also be in beautiful settings:
(outside table at Hotel Eden in Sirmione, Lake Garda)
(garden table at Hotel Victoria in Torino)
BUT my favorite breakfast in Italy is breakfast with my friends Guido & Katia:
(sitting outside Katia’s parents’ house in Coccaglio enjoying her mom’s beautiful garden)
shave ice & gelato 
That buffet looks good. Love the tilework in the last picture.

Alice, the buffet was great! I also love the tilework at my friend’s mom’s house. I tried to get the garden in the photos also but couldn’t due to the angle.
Leslie, thanks! I can’t wait to see your new smart car.
June, both places were very beautiful and the food was good too!

Hi Girasoli, these are great Photo Theme photos! I love your comparisons . . . . I’m a breakfast person more than lunch or dinner . . .. but while in Italy I’d be happy with a piece of toast if I had those views and nice friends to share it with . . .
Have a great Sunday!

Clara, just found your comment in my junk comment section. The brioche was very yummy. Can’t eat chocolate ones any more (migraines) so I go for the crema filled ones now (almost as good). Thanks for stopping by!! Loved your snow view and cup of cheerios :)

I think breakfasts in Italy are one of my favourite things — and your photos are lovely. I’m drooling, not only over the food but over those fantastic outdoor settings — breakfast on the edge of Lake Garda would be so beautiful!
