While Acqualina\u2019s Il Mulino New York restaurant<\/a> may be famed for its Sunday Brunch and romantic dinners with waiters serving authentic Italian cuisine under the stars, the action and attention to detail starts at sunrise. Early every morning, a culinary team descends on Chef Michele Mazza\u2019s kitchen to create his European\/American breakfast menu. The team squeezes fresh papaya, orange, beet, pineapple and carrot juices, selects organic eggs, prosciutto and European cheeses and chooses vegetables from fresh local farms.<\/p>\n

\u201cBreakfast sets the tone for the entire day,\u201d says Mazza. \u201cI believe breakfast should be clean, started with fresh juice, maybe parsley or pineapple juice with cucumber or celery, toast topped with smoked salmon and poached eggs,\u201d he continues, explaining that Il Mulino has myriad artisan bread options, including gluten-free and vegan to satisfy an international clientele, plus cereals for children.<\/p>\n

One of Mazza\u2019s favorite menu items is pancakes with fresh ricotta cheese and lemon zest, all prepared a-la-minute.\u00a0 From the Omelette dello Chef to Formaggi and Salumi Misti, the entire breakfast menu is made and served-to-order-daily from 7 to 11 a.m.<\/p>\n

Mazza, who is at Acqualina during the winter season, says that you\u2019ll recognize many of the servers from their years at Acqualina, some who have been with Il Mulino since its opening. \u201cWe feel like family,\u201d he says, \u201cand that\u2019s how we welcome our guests at breakfast, we get to know them over time and do our utmost to provide beautiful service as if they were guests in our own home.\u201d<\/p>\n

How does the Italian chef start his day? Fresh-squeezed orange juice, two organic eggs over easy, burrata mozzarella and gluten-free toast. \u201cI feel more energy with a gluten-free breakfast,\u201d he says. \u201cAnd if you have a good breakfast, it makes you happy all day.\u201d<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s to happiness in 2022.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
