An urban hike to BaoNecci
We finally dragged ourselves out in the sunshine today for an urban hike and errands. Up Powell (you need one steep hill to hit an urban hike) we started looking for outside seating for lunch. We wandered past Danilo Bakery’s BaoNecci, and I remembered I’d read good things about this place. In we went.
You order at the counter here so we order two of the daily specials and a focaccia sandwich. We had:
Cannelini soup A mostly pureed white bean soup served in a substantial bowl with a drizzle of olive oil. Really nice comforting flavors.
Roasted pork with white beans There was an option of potatoes or beans with this dish. A good lunch sized portion of thinly sliced pork. Incredibly tender served in its own juices.
Proscuitto and fresh tomato focaccia sandwich The focaccia is thinly sliced and crispy. Really delicate flavors with just a touch of olive oil.
All in all, a really satisfying lunch. They also sell pizza whole or by the slice. While we were there a table near us had a pizza made to order. It look fantastic with a crispy thin crust. Would definitely go back to try the pizza. Glad to know they are open on Sundays but daylight hours only.
Overall thumbs: Up. The service was warm and friendly, the food excellent, and the atmosphere bustling. I look forward to going back.
Tastiness rating: High. Really great lunch. Not too filling or rich but just good honest food.
Service rating: Good. Very warm service. You order at the counter and they bring food to you. We bought some desserts to go and paid for everything as we were leaving.
