"It’s worth visiting Locanda Verde in the morning just to see the way the sunlight streams through the curtains, bathing the dark wood interior in an otherworldly glow, reminding you that your apartment will never look this good. The coffee here is a classic Italian-style dark roast, and we love their cappuccinos. Lemon ricotta pancakes are the main attraction, but don’t skip the savory-leaning dishes like the uova a piacere, which reminds us of an upscale diner breakfast. Round out your order with a few items from the rotating selection of pastries. " - carina finn koeppicus, bryan kim, kenny yang
