Coffee is central to the breakfast of Italy. Coffee is widely served in restaurants, bars and cafés.
The caffé is a popular strong coffee served in bars, while the caffé hag is a decaffeinated type of coffee. Then there is the caffé lungo or the long coffee and the caffé ristretto. Further Italy also serves the espresso modified with whipped sweet cream, called caffé con panna.
Southern Italy, Naples serves espresso with sugar, known as caffé con zucchero. Other variations of espresso include caffé corretto (with liquor), caffé machiato, caffé latte, latte machiato and cappuccino.
