Who says a delicious, hearty breakfast can't be classy and well-presented, too? Always on the quest for a great West Side breakfast, we checked out Il Mito Enoteca's Sunday brunch on 69th and North.

Served from 10:30 a.m. until 2 p.m., Chef Michael Feker's brunch is the perfect mix of breakfast and lunch, plating up heaping helpings of eggs and waffles, braised fish and ribs, and more.

We ordered the green eggs and ham; a bacon, egg, potato and roasted red pepper pizza; and a plate of scrambled eggs and bacon. Everything was plentiful and delicious, especially the green eggs, which were colored -- and flavored -- not with food coloring, but with basil, parsley and other herbs, leading my toddler to call them "pesto eggs."

The breakfast pizza was a crispy thin crust cheese and tomato sauce pizza with the makings of a traditional omelet sprinkled on top. Odd as it might have seemed at first, the combination worked.

Especially decadent is the whipped cinnamon butter that accompanies the warm bread and, even more so, the chocolate hazelnut butter that comes with the crumbly cinnamon flat bread appetizer. You might feel a little guilty, thinking you ate your dessert first!

Of course, all of this comes in the inviting Il Mito Enoteca space and with the attentive service you expect from a quality restaurant. Chef Feker is, as always, on hand, popping into the dining room to make sure his customers are happy and satisfied.

On the last Sunday of August, all of his customers appeared both happy and very satisfied. I know for sure that three of them most certainly were.
