As the San Carlo Cicchetti states, ‘Italians are great at many things but
the English still serve the best breakfast in the world.’ – and who am I to
argue?
What I like about breakfast at
Cicchetti (apart from the plush surroundings, slick service and great coffee)
is that, thanks to the double yellow lines outside, there is usually plenty of
space for my driver to pull up and wait.
Arriving on a large oval plate
(almost as long as ‘my’ limo), the ‘pros’ for the ‘The Great Cicchetti Breakfast’ (£7.95) included: two decent pork and herb sausages; good quality bacon; a
hearty roundel of black pudding; the hash brown and nicely scrambled eggs.
The ‘cons’ for me were the strange
little wafer-thin semi circular toasts; mushrooms that I’d have liked to have
been a little more ‘al dente’ and a tomato that I’d have like to have been
grilled.
Disclaimer: some details above may
not be entirely true (it’s not the bit about the good coffee or tasty
breakfast.)
