"There have been numerous good suggestions for dinner in the forums that i have read, but can someone point me to some options for breakfast near the Westin?"

First, Italians don't eat breakfast. Really. Save it for lunch. If you go to a hotel and they serve more than a croissant and coffee for breakfast, you are in a very tourist driven place. In Italy supper is eaten late, so people are not hungry in the morning. On the way to work, an Italian stops at a bar and has a coffee, standing up. If hungry, they eat a brioche, or croissant, called a cornetto in Italian. Lunch is a huge meal. That's why dinner happens late. There are no breakfast places in Italy. If you find one, it will be a tourist trap. You can't eat eggs, bacon, and pancakes, and properly enjoy an Italian lunch. Just wake up, go outside to the nearest bar, look at the pastry, go to the cashier and tell them what you want, they'll ask you if you want to sit. Say no, "al banco," meaning you'll stand up at the bar and eat like an italian, and they'll charge you 50% less. Go to the bar and tell the bar man what you want, "un cafe, e un cornetto," and eat it standing up. That's an italian breakfast. There is no breakfast in Italy, other than this, or doing the same at home. In the USA we think of pastry as something for desert after dinner. In Italy, it is considered perfectly acceptable to have cake or pastry for breakfast. Cake or pastry after dinner is OK, but not the norm. Italians are not big into dessert. After dinner it is more common to have some fruit, whereas in the USA we have fruit for breakfast. It's the opposite.
