Ok so I'll admit that my friend and I meant to have brunch at Lady Marmalade right next door to this place but there was a line out the door. Luckily, I had already noticed this place when we passed it and good thing the food the people sitting right by the large front windows were eating looked appetizing (or maybe I was famished from a morning of swimming at Jimmie Simpson) because that's when I said "Ok, let's just go here!".
I'm not usually one to crave or go out searching for Italian food, so I was curious what an Italian place (because how Italian is the name "Lil' Baci" even) had to offer for brunch. I go out for brunch quite often so I was hoping there was going to be something quite unique on this menu. While Eggs Benedict is my go-to, I decided to order their "Baci Balls" and Eggs.
Food took a little on the long side to arrive but probably because of the busy Sunday morning brunch crowd. I'll let it slide since we just wandered in on a whim anyway. When it arrived, I was pleased with what I saw... I love places that give you both a salad and potatoes side! I liked the bread for our toast though I kind of wished there had been butter on it (or there had been some on the table). The Baci Balls themselves (I got the Classic) were like giant meatballs smothered in tomato (marinara?) sauce alongside poached eggs. I'm personally not the biggest tomato sauce fan but once I broke the egg yolk and swirled everything around and dipped my toast in it, it wasn't that big of a deal. I actually ended up wiping up every last drop with my toast.
If you're into spicy, they offer chili oil, which I appreciated on my potatoes.
