Our Breakfast Menu

From freshly baked Italian cornetti and artisanal pastries to traditional egg dishes prepared with seasonal ingredients, every element of our breakfast menu reflects our commitment to authenticity and quality.

Full English Breakfast

Our signature morning plate featuring eggs your way: fried, scrambled or poached, Italian pork sausages, pancetta, grilled tomato, mushrooms, hash browns, homemade baked beans and toasted ciabatta. A hearty start that honours Italian tradition with the best seasonal British ingredients.

Eggs in Purgatory

A beloved Southern Italian classic: free-range eggs gently poached in a rich, spiced San Marzano tomato sauce with a touch of chilli, finished with torn fresh basil and served with warm focaccia for dipping. The name uova in purgatorio comes from the eggs being "suspended" in the vibrant red sauce - a dish that has warmed Italian mornings for centuries.

Freshly Baked Pastries

Explore the selection of the daily selection of pastries and choose what will make your day brighter.

Eggs Florentine

Two perfectly poached free-range eggs on a bed of wilted baby spinach, served on a toasted sourdough bread and finished with our house-made hollandaise sauce. Light, elegant, and endlessly satisfying - our most popular breakfast dish among City professionals.

Signature Omelettes

Three-egg omelettes made with Italian herbs and your choice of fillings: ham and cheese, red prawns and chives, or simply a plain option. Each is folded to order and served with a lightly dressed side salad of rocket and parmesan.

Coffee & Beverages

No Italian breakfast is complete without exceptional coffee. Our barista serves espresso, cappuccino, caffè latte, and macchiato using premium Italian-roasted beans. We also offer freshly squeezed orange juice, green juices, smoothies, and a selection of Italian herbal teas.

CORPORATE BREAKFAST MEETINGS

Piazza Italiana has established itself as the premier destination for corporate breakfast meetings in London's financial district. Our Grade II listed building — the former British Linen Bank, built in 1902 — provides an atmosphere that impresses clients and inspires productive conversations.
