I'm Going to Get Fat, I Just Know It

Since we were up sooooo early, we decided to walk to the popular street not very far from our house called Nelson's Place. It's a line of restaurants and shops near the water and we're expecting it to be packed during the summer when the tourists come to the beach. We pop into a restaurant called Al Proto Vecchio because they had some decently priced breakfast options that caught our eye. It was quaint little place with an upstairs area too. I'm assuming it's a decent space there because this guy made about 3 trips to get about 100 white and pink balloons up there, probably for some sort of party or wedding function.

We first start off with coffee. Anthony orders a “flat white” which is suppose to be coffee with just a little bit of milk. I get a soy latte since I'm not a coffee connoisseur, I just know I need a lot of milk/soy and sugar so my coffee doesn't take bitter. But regardless with my lack of coffee knowledge, it was delicious! It came out in this dainty little cup! Very adorable!

Anthony ordered the pancakes with berries and ice cream. Yup, ice cream. Apparently that's the norm with pancakes, you get a choice of either cream or ice cream. It was yummy!

I ordered the Big Breakfast which was toast topped with beans, mushrooms, ham, bacon, eggs, and spinach and a sausage. Superb! Just describing it again makes me want to go back for more!!

We took our time eating, since that's also the norm. A kid in the table next to us had the banana pancakes with maple syrup and ice cream. The syrup was so thick it wouldn't break off after you poured it! You betcha we'll be trying that next time!
