Trattoria Nervosa in Toronto’s Yorkville
neighbourhood offers traditional Italian fare in a trendy and modern setting.
The eatery boasts certification by the Associazione Pizzaiuoli Napoletani (APN), meaning they were trained to
make authentic Neapolitan pizza. As per custom, the pizzas are baked in a special handmade oven for 90
seconds, resulting in a crispy crust and tender toppings. The Primavera Pizza, perfect for veggie lovers
and vegetarians, has tomato sauce, fresh mozzarella, organic spinach, grilled zucchini, olives and roasted
roma tomatoes. Another great option is the Pizza Contadina,
which has tomato sauce and fresh mozzarella cheese, delicious
cured meats such as bresaola, sopressata and prosciutto, and Berkshire sausage, topped with basil.
Nervosa takes classic dishes and reinvents them, adding new flavours and ingredients. The restaurant’s twist
on Caesar salad, the Cesare Nervosa, has pancetta, fried capers and aged parmigiano cheese with romaine hearts and egg-free
dressing. The Risotto Nervosa includes Barolo braised beef short rib, local field and porcini mushrooms and a fig
balsamic reduction.
To finish off a meal order the tiramisu, a traditional and popular Italian dessert, which consists of coffee-dipped ladyfingers
layered with egg yolks and mascarpone cheese, and flavoured with cocoa and liquor. Or opt for the homemade
tartufo, Italian ice
cream covered in a chocolate shell, or try the gelati, Italian ice cream that’s made
in-house as well.
