Italianni's has recently launched SEVEN new breakfast dishes! From salads to french toasts, pancakes to sandwiches, each dish comes with a complimentary coffee or tea. Got the chance to try all seven dishes on a rainy Thursday morning last week in their Bonifacio High Street branch through a sponsored breakfast - Italianni's x zomatoph.
 |
| Cafe Mocha |
I started off with a warm cup of Cafe Mocha. Served in a tall glass with gorgeous layers of chocolate, milk and coffee at the very top. Mix it well and enjoy while warm. This was just okay. Too milky and sweet, coffee not too strong.
Then we started our breakfast with three kinds of salads. Who would have thought that salad would be a good idea for a filling breakfast? I have never really considered a healthy and leafy bowl to start my day. Italianni's changed my mind.

| Mela Verde Salad for 245Php Bistro Premier Exclusive | 320Php Regular |
A refreshing and light salad that's loaded with fruits! I love honey balsamic dressing so I automatically loved this one. A bowl of fresh and crisp romaine lettuce and arugula with mandarin orange, watermelon and peach cubes, dried cranberries and slices of green apple. The combination of sweet and tangy was lovely!
 |
| Avocado e L'uovo Salad for 265Php Bistro Premier Exclusive | 340Php Regular |
I liked this one too! Fresh mix of romaine and arugula, avocado slices, goat cheese cubes, crispy fried pancetta and Parmesan cheese in a light balsamic Caesar dressing. It's also topped with soft boiled egg. I love goat cheese and avocados so this was an instant hit. The avocado added richness and creaminess to this salad. The pancetta and cheese gave the much needed saltiness.
 |
| Pollo e L'uovo Salad for 245Php Bistro Premier Exclusive | 320Php Regular |
A combination of romaine and arugula, ham slices and chicken flakes, some corn kernels and paprika in a balsamic Caesar dressing, this was my least favorite. This salad also came with a runny poached egg and a toast on the side. It was bland for me. There was enough dressing but it lacked in flavor. Also, you would't even notice the ham slices because there was too little.
 |
| Pollo Zenzero for 295Php Bistro Premier Exclusive | 380Php Regular |
We also got to try a rice meal - Pollo Zensero. This was like a leveled up Adobo. Tapa rice was so good you can eat it on it's own.

| A closer look at the tasty and tender chicken parts! |
The chicken pieces had this sweet and salty teriyaki flavor and subtle notes of anise. Served with sunny side-up egg, I'm sure that the Filipino in you will love this!
 |
| Velluto Rosso Pancake for 245Php Bistro Premier Exclusive | 320Php Regular |
Then came in the pretty Red Velvet Pancake - Velluto Rosso Pancake. A stack of three pretty red pancakes, layered with cream cheese, finished off with whipped cream, blueberry sauce and dusted with powdered sugar.
 |
| Red Velvet Pancake Set |
This was served with mixed fruits on the side. This pancake was a let down. Needs more vanilla, should have some chocolate for that rich velvety kick and more cream cheese please. I wanted to like it but nah.
We also got to sample their French Toasts - French Toast Cannella de Crema and French Toast ala Suzette.
 |
| French Toast Cannella de Crema for 245Php Bistro Premier Exclusive | 320Php Regular |
I liked the Cannella de Crema more. I loved that each toast was thick, moist, buttery and milky. It was coated with just the right amount of cinnamon sugar and drizzled with just enough cream cheese. Served with two pieces of crispy bacon and sunny side up egg, this was a great deal!
 |
| French Toast ala Suzette for 245Php Bistro Premier Exclusive | 320Php Regular |
This is the French Toast version of the popular crepe - Crepe Suzette that is known for it's sweet and citrusy flavor. Tangerine or orange is the magic ingredient. Italianni's French Toast version was so-so. The thick french toast had a sweet glaze with a very subtle hint of orange.

| A closer look at these French Toasts |
As you take a bite, you'll be able to get that citrus flavor but it kinda disappears right away leaving you with just your plain french toast. Served with two pieces of crispy bacon and sunny side up egg, this could have been good if they added more orange glaze in it.
Aside from these seven dishes, they also have Bistecca Con L'uovo (which is a Sirloin steak sandwich served with egg, mozzarella cheese and mushrooms) and Prosciutto Con Salsiccia (grilled sausage with prosciutto ham, sliced cherry tomato on a toasted rye bread) in their menu.

| Salad party!!! |
I honestly enjoyed the breakfast set prepared by Italianni's. I was so full but didn't feel bloated. It was a well balanced breakfast after all - protein, carbs, fruits, veggies! It's a great breakfast stop, to shy away from the usual oily and fried dishes offered by other restaurants.
By the way, Italianni's offer their breakfast menu in two branches only - Bonifacio High Street and Greenbelt, from 7AM to 10:30AM daily.
4 out of 5 Stars for Italianni's Breakfast Menu!
