A romantic trip to Italy isn't in the cards this Valentine's Day, but the next best thing may be a brunch date at Caffe Buondi.

Driving the news: The Carmel breakfast and lunch spot has an Italian-inspired menu with frittatas, paninis, savory crepes and sweet pastries.

What to order: The Vegano Bowl, with quinoa, corn, black beans, roasted veggies and avocado. You can keep it vegan or, do as I did, and add an egg.

It was savory and satisfying — the perfect meal when you're not sure if you're feeling breakfast or lunch.

Cost: $14.95 + $2.50 for the egg.

The vibe: European bistro, with a full coffee bar.

If you go: 11529 Spring Mill Road, Carmel.

Open 7am to 2pm Monday-Friday and 8am to 2:30 pm Saturday and Sunday.
