It’s still a surprise to some people that Italianni’s serves really good breakfast created by Chef Josh Boutwood.
They actually offer breakfast comfort food favorites of Continental and Filipino dishes (not just limited to Italian breakfast). The Italianni’s branch at Greenbelt 2 is vibrant as early as 7am, with power breakfast meetings being held or friends hanging out on a slow lazy morning.

Here are our Top 10 favorite dishes from the breakfast offerings of Italianni’s…
1. Black Seafood (P325 +10% service charge). Hearty combination of cream dory & fresh calamari mixed with bell peppers, wrapped in a squid ink omelette.
I like my omelette black. 🙂 As you slice through it…
…you see generous bits of shrimp, fish, and bell pepper.
2. Arroz Caldo Supreme (P205 +10% service charge). Slowly cooked flavored rice porridge topped with roast herb chicken flakes, sauteed mushrooms, garlic bits, boiled egg, spring onion, and crispy spinach.
The Arroz Caldo is surprisingly good. It has been a consistent favorite among the breakfast goers at Italianni’s.
3. Steak & Egg (P445 +10% service charge). Premium sirloin steak grilled to perfection. Served with garlic rice and your choice of egg.
A good piece of steak in the morning is sometimes all you need to make your day right.
4. Confit Salmon (P345 +10% service charge). Slow cooked Norwegian salmon confit in extra virgin olive oil and spices. Served with garlic rice and your choice of egg.
Go for this salmon “sardines” dish if you want to try something healthy and unique for breakfast.
5. Chocolate & Orange (P275 +10% service charge). Chocolate-flavored buttermilk pancakes topped with orange slices and chocolate sauce.
Fluffy chocolate pancakes with some citrus to balance out the flavor.
6. Filipino Platter (P395 +10% service charge). Combination of spicy tuyo, vigan longganiza and corned beef.
I like this option of having all your favorite Filipino breakfast meats in one rice plate.
7. Smoked Salmon & Dill Cream Cheese (P395 +10% service charge). Delicate puff pastry filled with a poached egg topped with hollandaise sauce, cold smoked salmon, and dill cream cheese.
The puff pastry concept with a poached egg inside is quite interesting, providing a crunchy texture with creamy cheese and hollandaise sauce.
8. Crispy Pancetta Bacon (P385 +10% service charge). Crispy pancetta bacon served with garlic rice and sunny side-ups.
How about Chicharon Bacon for breakfast?
9. Three-Egg Omelette ( P295 +10% service charge). Italianni’s special omelette filled with smoked ham, tomatoes, onions, bell pepper, olives and cheddar cheese. Served with toast.
Nothing beats a good omelette with toast.
10. Prosciutto Ham, Soft Egg & Asparagus (P275 +10% service charge). Premium prosciutto ham with soft boiled eggs and asparagus on toasted English muffin. Served with a creamy Parmesan sauce.
Chef Josh’s favorite breakfast dish from the Gourmet Creations.
