We were craving the Mafalde di Funghi from Gusto 101 but that was far away. So we decided to hit up Nervosa for this specific pasta.
We ordered the bread the grilled octopus to share. The octopus was fantastic the multi drops of citrus sauce, chimichurri was great with the fresh and tender octopus tentacles.
However, the disappointment came with the pasta. The pasta stripes arrived hard and cold, but I do see the porcini and sauce hot with steam. After tasting it, I realize the dish wasn't executed right. The pasta was probably pre-cooked or took out from the pot for too long they got cold. When al-dente pasta gets cold, they tend to become harder than expected. The portion also was smaller than gusto 101. It was quite a let down to be served cold pasta at Nervosa.
