A typical breakfast is: crossaints (cream, chocolate, nuetlla, marmalade,etc), sweet cake, fruit, yogurt, granola, meat, cheese, and plenty of bread. You need to make a special request for eggs. Italians do not eat eggs for breakfast and eggs are served soft boiled.
Lunch and Dinner are very different all over Italy depending on what region you are in. For example Rome: pasta, On the coast: fish, Umbria region: meats. All of the regions serve pizza. A typical lunch could be a vegetable appetizer (artichoke), small dish of pasta, bread, meat/cheese. Dinner is similar maybe consisting of a meat dish depending on your region.
Restaurants do not have children's menus. You may find them at resorts or hotels, but not at restaurants in town. You most likely will not find Highchairs unless you are at a resort or hotel. Many restaurants are very accommodating and you can tell the waiter what you would like for your baby/toddler. Almost all large restaurants have 'pomme frites' frenchfries on their menu.
Tip: Travel Highchair
Typical Mealtimes:
Breakfast 8:00am-10:00am
Lunch 12:30pm-3:00pm
Dinner 7:30pm-10:00pm
A majority of restaurants will be closed between lunch and dinner. With the exception of a resort or hotel. Italians in general do not snack between meals. The reason lunch consists of 2-3 courses and is a pretty large meal.
DMC is a good eater whenever we are in Italy, he eats most things and will try most things. He does still have a few favorites: pesto pasta, gnocchi, fontina cheese, yogurt, fruit, crossaints, and gelato of course. I still bring his American snacks with us: veggie/fruit pouches, granola bars, Annie's bunnies.
