CUCINA ALESSA-NEWPORT BEACH

Italian for breakfast??? Well, Yes-if it's Cucina Alessa and it's the week-end! We have often enjoyed Cucina Alessa (http://www.cucinaalessa.com/) for lunch and dinner, but just recently discovered they have a great breakfast menu too. Really good, authentic Italian food, excellent service and a friendly and fun atmosphere, have made this one of our "favs".
Sweetie pie and her mother both ordered their favorite dish-The Modo Mio (2 eggs, bacon, and Italian sausage with potatoes and toast. The Italian sausage here is indescribably delicious. The ladies also split an order of "Illegal" French Toast-not quite illegal, but certainly very sinful. It's French bread dipped in a vanilla and cinnamon egg batter, and topped with bananas, strawberries, marscapone cheese and toasted almonds. We all agree that the "Illegal" French Toast is not to be missed if you ever have breakfast here. I had the Bistecca and Uova-Angus Rib-Eye rosemary marinated, eggs and potatoes with toast. Not just a "breakfast steak", but a real Rib-Eye, tender and succulent, and perfectly prepared.

Whether it be for breakfast, lunch or dinner, the 3 Tubby Tummys give Cucina Alessa an unequivocal three thumbs up!
