The Fave: Trattoria Nervosa

Unpretentious among all its shi-shi-poo-poo neighbours in Toronto's swankish Yorkville, this restaurant serves excellent Italian food in a delightful setting. I've been there a LOT of late.

And how happy am I that more and more restaurants are selling Prosecco by the glass? I can't put away more than a glass before a movie or theatre.

On another visit, I had the seafood salad.

On Mothers Day, my Roman mother declared this the best pizza crust she'd ever had. The Calabrian sausage was thinly sliced and delicious.
