The first time I ate at Nervosa we were getting pizza take away so we didn't dine in and have a full experience. If you live in the area I highly recommend a video from Bay St video and pizzas from Nervosa. :)
My friend was a vegetarian and the staff were very friendly and helpful with recommendations and making substitutions. He had the funghi e formaggi (mushroom pizza) minus proscuitto and it was delicious. The cipolline onions and gorgonzola were a perfect combination with the mushrooms.
I had the Montanara; sausage, roasted peppers, and onions. All delicious again with gorgonzola, yum!
All in all it was a great pizza experience. The crust was thin and crispy, even with a 5 minute walk home. And you could really taste the quality in the ingredients. The pizzas were about $16 each which is quite reasonable for that level of quality. Especially now that many pizza places are using cheaper and cheaper ingredients.
Since then I've also been for dinner on their upstairs patio, which is heated so it's was fine even on a cool fall evening. The patio is also well worth a visit for the ambience and to people watch.
The pasta, like the pizzas, were well-prepared, quality ingredients, better than most but pretty classic Italian flavors and combinations.
A great place for a consistently good meal in Yorkville.
