Cerveau bills itself as the grown-up step-sibling to Pizza Brain, Philadelphia's cult-favorite pizzeria, reimagined here as something closer to an Italian cicchetteria that also happens to make pizza. The setting is Center City, within walking distance of Chinatown, Union Transfer, and the Convention Center hotels, and the format runs as a cafe — handmade pastas and both classic and inventive pies anchor the menu, alongside house-made focaccia, breads, and desserts.
Regulars point to the pizzas for their creative toppings and to the pasta dishes as an equally strong reason to come back, all served in a warm, family-friendly room with attentive service. The Infatuation has scored Cerveau 7.8 out of 10.
