Cafe Nervosa

Mar 14:

As the ongoing crisis in #Ukraine continues, we know we need to find a way to help those in urgent need 💙💛 At Nervosa, food has always been a way for us to express love and connection. Therefore, from March 14th-April 14th, @nervosato will be donating $1 from each MAFALADE AI FUNGHI sold to World Central Kitchen. @wckitchen is providing fresh & nourishing meals to Ukrainian families fleeing home as well as those who remain in the country.

To learn more about World Central Kitchen’s work in Ukraine and to make a personal donation, please visit the link in bio. As always, thank you for dining with us and helping us support important causes both locally and beyond. @nervosato stands in solidarity with the Ukrainian people during this humanitarian crisis.

To build the most culturally relevant and celebrated collection of restaurants and innovative culinary experiences in the world.

In 2019, Gusto 54 has partnered with FoodShare to join the fight against food insecurity through a shared vision of providing “Good Healthy Food for All”. On Monday’s, $1 from select items at each of our restaurants are donated to FoodShare in support of programs that feed and teach people in the Toronto community how to eat in healthy and sustainable ways.
