| - Wandering along Carson Street on a Sunday morning, I was getting a little frustrated. Pipers Pub looked like a 1,000 person Frat Party had just dumped it's entire guest-list inside of it. And Waffles Incaffeinated had about 4 too many stroller-clad families waiting to get in. What's a hangry girl to do?!
The answer is Cucina Vitale. They have all your standard breakfast fare: eggs, breakfast meats, frittatas, pancakes, waffles, French toast, bagel & lox, and better than average diner coffee.
This is a small place. There are only a handful of tables, but we were able to get seated right away.
I had the triple berry waffle which came with fresh berry sauce and mascarpone. It was delicious! I've been getting let down by a bunch of dry and tasteless waffles around town, but this waffle was fluffy and flavorful. The side of turkey sausage was good too.
Service was a little slow and we had to ask for water/coffee refills a few times. But our server was pleasant and she apologized profusely for the wait time. A party of 9 was leaving just as we arrived, so the kitchen was backed up. Understandable.
All in all, this is a great place to grab a standard breakfast. I'll definitely be adding it to my Saturday and Sunday brunch options.
