Had lunch with friends at Trattoria Nervosa yesterday...here are my thoughts:
Ambiance: This restaurant is super busy and super noisy. We scored a nice table upstairs on the outdoor patio so it was a bit quieter. But still, expect to be hoarse at the end of your meal.
Service: Food is VERY SLOW. This wouldn't have been such a problem if we hadn't been melting in the heat.
Food: Average at best.
-- Sea Bream special was very salty (and I'm usually attached at the hit to the salt shaker). It was also small portion-wise. The addition of a vegetable would have helped the salt-factor and my hunger.
-- Chicken was laughably tiny as well. My husband at this dish in 2 bites and then devoured the bread basket because he was still starving.
-- Margherita pizza went over well with my 11-year-old.
-- Friends had the kale salad with salmon added, a caesar salad, and some kind of risotto. They seemed to have enjoyed their food.
Overall: This restaurant can get away with it's exorbitant prices due to it's location...since I can have better food at Chipotle, at 1/4 of the cost, there seems to be no reason to return to Trattoria Nervosa.
