If you are looking for a sweet place to sneak away to for brunch (or a picturesque dinner), consider Zeppola Café in the Grand Canal Shoppes at The Venetian. This Italian bakery, found along St. Mark’s Square, offers plenty of pastries and coffees in a charming, Italian-style bakery. But ask to sit down for brunch and you’ll head upstairs to a secluded dining area that looks over the square. It’s super chill, and a great way to step away from the hustle and bustle of the Strip.
The brunch menu is expansive, with such items as the cremini mushroom omelet. It’s intensely flavorful, with creamy fontina and fried potatoes. The chicken pesto omelet also imparts that flavor, with grilled chicken, Parmesan and potatoes. And the Nutella French toast keep the flavor train rolling, with berries, maple syrup, Nutella and pistachio. It’s worth saving this one for dessert.
Speaking of rolling, and dessert, the Rolly and the Cube croissants are among the striking pastries you will find. Both are huge, with their flaky goodness piped full of cream and half-coated in a colorful, flavorful icing.
Stop in for dinner and enjoy a variety of pizzas and decadent pastas, as well as entrées like branzino and filet mignon. Tableside tiramisu will nicely round out the evening meal.
