The classic Roman breakfast is maritozzo alla panna and cappuccino, although it’s not every day you get to make it. If you have more time one day, here are some places in town where you can enjoy a great breakfast. Sweet or savory, we don’t just offer traditional…

His business began in the 1800s in France, in Croix, near Lille. For many years Paul has been offering tasty French treats all over the world: anglaise aux abricots, madeleines, croissants, macarons and more. There are also savory sandwiches and salads on the menu.
