Coromandel

Centro Storico


A Roman primo colazione (breakfast) rarely consists of more than a coffee and a cornetto (croissant). Not here. Coromandel is renowned for its breakfasts and brunches – plates of rich French toast, waffles, pancakes and omelettes. Tea (or coffee) is served in dainty china cups, adding to its genteel tea-shop atmosphere. Reservations recommended.
