I can't tell you enough how disappointed my last visit here has been. If you have been a "habitué" (regular) and loyal like I have been, chances are you know exactly that something happened, and I'm saying it not in a good way. The food you experienced before, now is not the same. I'm very critical when it comes to food. Especially when the cuisine in question is the one I have grown up with and grown into it for over 20 years. I'm sure that Shahir (the owner) remembers very well my genuine, non filtered feedback when I came to Levetto my very first time. And my opinion didn't change until TODAY (you can see my very first review here on Yelp). Where should I start? First I've ordered a salad, "the Panzanella": grape tomato, fior di latte, red onion, house-baked focaccia crouton, spinach and basil. This salad used to look exactly like it's presented on the web site. Now, when you look at your plate, you are wondering if you had been served with the same item or if you've stepped into another restaurant "Levetto wannabe". The first thing I have noticed was how the fior di latte didn't come in thick pieces/or slices but shredded and "dusted" here and there over the top. The amount of mozzarella wasn't even close to half the weigh of only one of the few thick slices the restaurant offered before. At first glance, thankfully, I could see the cherry tomatoes and the house-baked focaccia crouton but once I've started to pour all over the dressing and mixing the content of my plate, I have realized that while the amount of the croutons didn't change the one for the cherry tomatoes did. I'd be generous to estimate that the salad had 5 cherry tomatoes sliced in half. The basil made me notice its presence only twice while my mind started to concentrate to the pizza sitting in front of me, hoping better bites. (see the picture of the Panzanella I posted several months ago and you'll see what I'm talking about). So here we are, with the small margherita pizza. 4 squares of a crunchy dough soon to be soggy, where to see and taste the fior di latte needed the help of a binoculars. Yes, you heard me, because the 4 slices of mozzarella fior di latte were so thin that almost disappeared into thin air. Not what I remember and ate in my previous visits. The tomato sauce used for the pizza, used to be one of those items that if I could, I would have ordered in a glass along with a straw so that I could drink it. That how great it was. Thick and well balanced, with that slight sweet aftertaste, now turned into something more liquid and more acidic. And I guess that explains why the dough turned soggier in the middle while before remained crunchy. Just for you to understand what I'm talking about: I remember once I went to buy two large pizze and after sitting in my car for over 20 minutes, the dough was still perfectly crunchy like if it just came out of the oven. Today this was just a long memory that I'm afraid it could vanish very, very soon. Levetto always impressed me for the passion and the willingness to do the right thing. I lost the count how many times I came and the large amount of people I took and I convinced that this was the closest to the way people eat in Italy at lunch or dinner at home. Levetto is like my second home. This, in my opinion, is what made Levetto better than many other Italian restaurants: simplicity, right quantity of ingredients and right price. I turned a blind eye on the menu that has never changed. Personally, to keep the restaurant interesting, I would have offered a new menu every time the season changed, with new plates that reflected the seasonal meat and veggies that the farms had to offer. Toronto now has a food scene to envy and its people started to understand when things change at their expense. Maybe it sounds too harsh but today I felt extremely disappointed and... "robbed". Robbed because we cut on the use of ingredients, flavour (less ingredients = lack of flavour) and money. Yes, money, because my dear yelpers and hungry Torontonians, the prices also have been increased, not much but they did. I will definetely give another shot at Levetto hoping that this was just... an "isolated incident". read more

Levetto - Panzanella salad: fresh mozzarella fior di latte, croutons, cherry tomatoes, onions, spinach and home made vinaigrette. - Italian Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

*UPDATED REVIEW* I have upgraded my rating to 3 stars based on the food alone. I want to highly commend the owner and staff for their willingness to act on my customer feedback. That is a sign of a good business. Levetto's owner invited me to try the same meals again at their expense as the kitchen had been retrained. We went back to the restaurant on a quiet Sunday evening about a month after our initial visit (unannounced to have an unbiased experience). Both dishes were executed better. The Funghi pizza came with all the components and we could taste the garlic and cheese. It was overall enjoyable. The Cavatelli pea-pesto pasta was properly al dente. We could taste the dish as it was meant to be. Unfortunately, it just too bland for our taste. We also ordered the Trecce, a pasta with sun-dried tomatoes and goat cheese, which was much more flavourful and overall enjoyable. We ended the meal with a very good warm brown butter and coconut cake (would have again) and a not very good (biscuit was too soggy, berries were freezing cold) white chocolate tiramisu. Levetto's still has some work to do but they are moving in the right direction! Customer service - 4 stars Food - 3 stars †*************** FYI My rating system is as follows: 1 star - couldn't swallow the food 2 stars - terrible food; we managed to swallow 3 stars - food was average 4 stars - good food; would eat here again 5 stars - great food; we're def coming back with friends My rating is for food only. Decor and service are not part of my rating system. If I do happen to mention either, it's because they were either so outstanding or so horrible, they were worth mentioning. Now onto Levetto... We ordered a pasta dish (Cavatelli) with pea pesto and a pizza (Funghi) with 4 kinds of mushrooms. The pizza did not have any marscapone or roasted garlic crema on it, although that was how the pizza was listed on their menu. The pizza consisted of mushrooms, bread and a light dusting of cheese (by that I mean mini dust particles). The entire thing lacked flavour. It was not worthy of the title "pizza". All this for 15$. The menu described the pasta dish as pea pesto, baby spinach, roasted red peppers, white truffle oil and a dollop of ricotta. The texture of the pasta was overdone. The flavour of the pasta had no balance. It tasted like mashed up peas and nothing else. The texture of said pesto was chunky and did not pair with the pasta. There were hardly any veggies in the dish (2 skinny pepper strands and 4 leafs of baby spinach). The ricotta added zero to the dish. The white truffle oil was nowhere to be found in terms of flavour. However, there was a huge amount of an unknown oil in the bowl and the pasta was literally floating in it. We ate a few bites and then left the rest. We never throw food away (too many hungry people in the world) but this time we had to. It was that bad. We didn't even want to take it home to try and fix it. This restaurant's 4.5 star rating was the reason why I chose to visit this place. I should have read the more recent comments more closely before going. Recent reviews say that something has changed. Sadly, I ended up finding out the hard way. read more

Amazing! Love the location and great Food + Service! I had the Beef Ragu and it was really good! Totally recommend it!

This is a very casual restaurant with great food at a great price. We were surprised at the portion for the price we paid. At $14, you get entree size pasta and pizza. We opted for the small pizza which comes in 4 slices so we can try a variety. The large size comes with 6 slices. Between the 5 of us, we ordered 2 salads, 2 pastas and 3 small pizzas, we were so full that we had to abandon ship and doggie bag the extras. As for the taste, everything was delicious and fresh. The fungi pizza with truffle oil is an absolute must try. read more

Food **** Service ***1/2 Ambiance ** Great pastas and salads. This is a go to spot for me after a long day at work with a yearning for a comforting bowl of pasta. After trying all of the pastas, my favourites are Tagliatelle or Carbonara. The salads are also huge, and perfect if you want to keep some left overs or to split it with someone and also share a pasta. I had the pizza however didn't think it was very notable. It was light on toppings and sauce with a bit too much crust for my liking. The space is a bit small so I generally prefer takeout. The food keeps well when transported so you're still getting a proper food experience. read more

This place is horrible. Maybe I'm missing something, I saw 4+ stars and thought it would be a great place for my fiancé and I to go to for Valentine's Day. The rigatoni tasted like chef boyardee and the only thing I could taste on the carbonara was the bacon (granted that's a good thing to some). If the brown sugar cake wasn't sitting there for a month or two they must be using some type of experimental flour because I've tasted envelopes less dry. I'm honestly not sure how they got this rating because it's not like the servers were attentive. STAY AWAY!!! read more

I had read many positive reviews for Levetto, and after reviewing the menu and the prices, I knew that I had to pay them a visit with my friends. I reviewed the Levetto website carefully, and I couldn't find any information about whether they took reservations or not - many restaurants will note that you can't make reservations or they tell you what you need to do to make a reservation. So what I did was send Aly MacGregor an email (she is in charge or press and media inquiries) and she arranged a reservation for myself and my friends. Aly not only addressed all my questions, and reservation changes (a very patient lady she is), she made sure to follow-up on our experience the day after our reservation. One highlight of my communication with Aly was when I asked about gluten-free options for my friend Karen who really wanted to join us for dinner (Levetto does not have gluten-free options on their menu), and she spoke to Chef Shahir Massoud (Corporate Executive Chef for Levetto) about my query, and Levetto agreed to look into this for us. The day before our reservation, I received a Twitter message that read, "Look Itanni! Gluten-free pasta!" And there was an image of Chef Shahir making fresh gluten-free pasta. How incredible is that?! So I immediately contacted Karen, and she was thrilled for the opportunity to join us and not have to stick to salads. On the evening of our reservation I strolled in ON TIME, and as usual my guests were already there, seated. Argh Once I greeted everyone I went to look for Chef Shahir to thank him for what he had done for Karen. I was relieved to see that Chef Shahir was there this evening (they had recently opened the College location, so it was very likely that he would be at the College location). When I introduced myself and thanked him for the reservation and the gluten-free pasta, he flipped it around and said, "no THANK YOU! We are so excited to have you and your friends join us. I wanted to be here to meet you all. Aly really wanted to come as well but there was a scheduling conflict." Awww! It often shocks me when a restaurant that is doing so well, can be so humble. But then it is because of restaurants and service like the one we received at Levetto that will keep from returning to a restaurant that has amazing food, and a self-righteous attitude. The Menu The menu is split into 5 sections: Pasta ($8-$13) Pizza - they come in three sizes: personal (4 pieces), medium (6 pieces), large (guessing 8 pieces) and the prices range from $6.50-$31 Salad ($8-$9) Specials Desserts ($6) Every single one of my guests were blown away by the food. It was not only delicious, but the ingredients were fresh, the pasta was made from scratch, great portions, and there was definitely value for money. We also lucked out in the dessert department. If you check-in to Yelp, you get a free dessert, so we all got a different dessert so we could share and try all three. My personal favorite was the Tiramisu, followed closely by the Warm Brown Butter & Coconut Semolina Cake that was served steaming hot, and then the Panna Cotta. But really, it comes down to your taste preference: if you like rich go with the cake, if you like creamy go with the tiramisu, if you like tart and not-so-sweet desserts, then go with the panna cotta. After dinner Chef Shahir made sure to check-in with every guest, and shared with us how he became a chef and some stories from his time in New York. I told him that I was flying to Italy the following week, and that when I returned I would teach him a thing or two about Italian food. ;) Thank you to the team at Levetto and Aly for making this wonderful evening happen for us. Since this dinner, almost all my friends have returned, and at least 4 are now regulars. Now I am dying to see how the College location is doing. I hope it's just as good as the Liberty Village location since the College location is closer to where I live. See you soon Levetto! xo P.S. Karen wanted me to tell you that Chef Shahir packed up the left over pasta for her to take home. She told me that she had enough fresh pasta for a week, and it was delicious (chef Shahir taught her how to keep it fresh at home). read more

We visit Levetto often because it's conveniently close to home and is one of the quiet and chill out spots near WQW. My wife is a huge fan of the thicker crust, me not so much, but the tastes are perfect. Nothing is overly done, no fancy stuff, just fresh great tastes. read more

Levetto was a very confusing and disjointed experience for dining in. The FOOD itself was pretty good. The homemade pasta is a bit heavy, but the sauces were quite flavourful. The pizza had a very nice crust and a generous amount of toppings. The Salsiccia pizza was delicious with quite a spicy sausage and covered in fennel fronds which were a nice touch. Quantities are large. Overall, I would rate the food a 4 star place. Dessert, a warm brown butter and coconut cake was free courtesy of a Yelp check-in (although there was a bill miscalculation that included it). It was, however, painfully sweet, and not very good. Where things fell short was the ordering process. Sometimes there's a bit of table service, sometimes there's not. You went up to the counter to order, and were never quite sure if what you ordered would come out of not. The staff they had there were nice, but they were clearly over-worked, and the place was understaffed. Food came out at kind of random intervals. We also had an awkward moment where immediately after seating us, we were told we'd have to move in 20 minutes for another party with a reservation. A) That's kind of the thing you tell people before you seat them. B) What kind of place without table service takes reservations? The DRINKS selection is underwhelming with no nice beers on tap. Overall, the lack of table service really reduced the enjoyment of our dinner. The food was pretty good, and I can imagine take-out is a good option. read more

I rarely rate 5 star, and while this is not a Michelin restaurant, if you want very good Italian food in a light, easy atmosphere, while actually paying next to no money, jump a bit north of King and feast your heart out. Nom nom nom, non? Treche, carbonara, sopreessata, Verde, all salads crush expectations. Honestly you could go to a high priced Italian resto downtown and not come close to the food quality here. No stars will be here during TIFF, but you should be here anytime, and if you don't visit now, you will miss out! Fresh made, made on premise, pasta, very nice staff. It's on! read more

Best place to eat Italian delights! I've been visiting the past three years since relocated from the States . It has never disappointed .

Food portions are very large for a reasonable price. Wish they had more variety with the pastas and proteins. They are take out and dine in but the servers if you dine in aren't very attentive. read more

Levetto - Bucatini - Italian Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

See all

Solid pizza (verde) and pasta (trecche). We ordered the shareable size between two people. Didn't take long to get either and service was very quick. Definitely can't go wrong here! read more

We ordered a Bucatini pasta ($10.50), a medium Funghi pizza ($14) and a Warm Brown Butter & Coconut Semolina Cake dessert ($6). The Bucatini pasta tasted great. Levetto makes their own fresh pasta in home made sauce. The acidity and spiciness of the sauce hit me a bit, but it wasn't too bad. The amount of sauce was just right. There was enough sauce to cover the pasta completely, but not too much to be watery. The portion was sufficient. The pasta earned 5 stars. Levetto pizzas are available in regular thickness, not in thin crest. The Funghi pizza we had was delicious. There were generous quantity of mushrooms and cheese. The dough was fresh, not chewy. The bottom of the pizza had a slight crunch. The thicker crest was the reason a small pizza was so filling. I happen to like thin crest a lot, so the pizza earned 4 stars from me. The Coconut Semolina Cake was quite good, too. For $6, the portion might look small initially. Don't be fooled. The cake was so rich that it took 2 people to savour it. The dessert earned 4 stars from me. Levetto bakes the pizza, cooks the pasta and makes the dessert upon receipt of order. You get freshly made food at reasonable price. The compromise is the services is slower. Levetto may be a take out place; it is definitely not a fast food place. read more

Really love Levetto. We started going to the one in Thornhill and I was ecstatic when we moved downtown and found their locations exactly 7 mins away from us (same as our home in Thornhill). It pretty much meant we made the right choice when we picked our new hood. I love the food here. In the winter, I'm all over this place. I did the to-foodies passport and got the lamb Ragu lamb, with hints of mint. Omg it was so good. I wish they would put that on the menu!!! But regardless, I still love it. The food is the same as the other location with some minor inconsistencies but it really depends who makes the pizza I guess. Our usual is the mushroom pizza and the affumicato pizza. Sometimes the mushrooms are scarce while sometimes the bacon is limited. You never know. But still, we go back. I love the mushroom pizza... as I'm writing this I'm thinking about some takeout. It's inexpensive, great quality and regardless of any inconsistency, it's still delicious. We've ordered the veggie and chicken pizzas for family dinner as well and it was a hit. Sudbury location has quite a bit of seating too, compared to Thornhill. There is the check in deal for dessert- JUST DO IT. You won't regret it!! Once I got my free dessert with takeout And the girl at the counter was so great, she gave me specific instructions to prepare it when I got home. read more

I was lucky enough to go to Levetto with a large group of friends so I got to try a little bit of everything. My personal favourites were the rigatoni with slow braised beef and the Verde pizza. The ingredients were fresh and the pasta was made from scratch. The staff was super nice and accommodating. One member of our group has a gluten allergy and the head chef made special gluten free pasta for her. There's currently a deal that if you check in on yelp you get a free dessert, I tried the tiramisu and it was pretty good. There is a surprisingly strong taste of espresso within this dessert so if coffee isn't your thing I probably wouldn't order it. For the price we paid the portions were quite generous, I will definitely come back again. read more

If they would answer their phones occasionally I'd give this a 5/5. But they only have 4.90/5 (;'p) Anyway, funghi pizza = cheesy mushroom heaven. This pizza is rich, decadent, pretty and comforting. The tagliatelle, with fresh peas and just the right amount of tomato... Ughhh. .. delicious, simple and cheap. This is comfort and affordable food!!! I found it! The coconut brown butter (don't remember the name?) Cake was outstanding, rich and melts in the mouth with crisp notes of baked coconut... ummm... yyyuuuummmsss. Get this! Always. The ingredients are outstanding for all their dishes, the recipes are unique but will hit your pizza craving, pow!, right in the kissa! read more

After reading some Yelp reviews, we decided to try this place because we were in the mood for Italian and our wallets were in the mood to save. After having one of their daily special salads (kale, pumpkin seeds, thinly sliced radish) and their excellent mushroom pizza (with white sauce, mmmm!) we left with full stomachs and wallets. The medium size pizza was enough for us to have leftovers. We only ate 4 of the 6 slices. The pizza was different than libretto, which is nearby. Despite the lack of a wood oven, the pizza was still excellent. It was made of a almost puff pastry crust, and appeared denser than it was. As with all pizzas I like, the star of the show were the toppings, not the crust. The white sauce, multiple cheeses, and multiple mushrooms were a great combination. The salad was also good and filling. The waiter didn't know which dressing we wanted (or may have forgotten to ask), so he brought over a balsamic and white wine vinaigrette. There were plenty of seeds, which I enjoyed. If you like salads with texture, this is your place! I'm told the pastas are also very good, but we will have to return to try them. The only downsides: the wine selection is limited (they only had 2 reds when we visited) and they won't have a patio. There's nothing like a glass (or 2) of wine and pizza on a patio. I highly recommend this restaurant as you get great value with incredible taste. The owner was also a super nice guy. read more

No words can properly describe the joy and happiness that I experienced dining here. Top notch service, beyond phenomenal food, and absolutely delectable dessert. I can not recommend this beautiful restaurant enough. Honestly, though, thank you, Yelp, for recommending this place. I enjoyed myself immensely. And the staff are so friendly, helpful, and personable, it was like we were actually acquainted. Loved it, and will definitely be going out of my way to visit again. read more

Food: 9/10 Atmosphere: 8/10 Service: 8/10 Overall experience: 9/10 5 stars for what it is - a fantastic place to come if you're looking for a casual dining experience, but great food. I opted for the carbonara pasta (loads and loads of bacon!) and my friend chose the cavatelli. Both portions were more than generous and we had to pack leftovers to take home. Worth checking out their website as they have beautiful images of all their food so you can really pick with your eyes - www.levetto.com The service is very casual. If you're dining in, you pick your seat and order at the counter, but they do bring your food to you. THE BOTTOM LINE: take it for what it is - a casual Italian dining experience with really great food. read more

I had dinner with a group of Friends on November 16 at the Sudbury location. I'll just sum my experience in one word "divine". Title of; Best Waiter Ever goes to Dev. He was amazing!!

Absolutely top notch southern-Italian style pizza. Levetto is a clean and simple space, comfortable for singles to a group of 8. High ceilings, no TV, elegant lighting at night, big windows for sunny daytime. The only poor choice is the big screen menu, which cheapens the look, and is unfortunately part of the first impression you'll get. Service is friendly and professional. Even though you order at the counter, your meal is served to you at the table. Dine-in means you get a real plate and cutlery -- only water glasses are plastic. The pizza is crispy and flavourful. I had the heirloom tomato pizza , a special the day I stopped by. I'd have it again, or try the fungi. Yelp tempted me into dessert, a pana cotta which had fresh berries and little amaretto cookies. All desserts are made in house. 5 stars! A lovely addition to the Toronto pizza scene. read more

I tried Levetto about 3 weeks ago, since I live down the street. I got the trecce pasta, which was al dente. Besides having a bit too much oil at the bottom of the takeout dish, and the sundried tomatoes being in big chunks (I think they would have been better chopped smaller rather than hunks of sundried tomato), this was great.. I also got the affumicato pizza, and it was amazing. So much very crispy bacon on top, and in big pieces - delicious! Since I loved the pizza so much, I went back on Monday and ordered the same pizza, affumicato. To my disappointment, there was hardly any bacon on it, the bacon that was there was not very crispy, and the mushrooms were uncooked. I was so looking forward to a repeat of the awesome pizza I had previously, so I was very disappointed with my dinner. Consistency is definitely an issue at this restaurant! I don't mind waiting the 15 - 20 minutes to get my pizza to go, but I want it the same as it was the first time! It was very disappointing to me, especially since it is very close to my gym, and a great place to grab dinner on the way home from a good workout. Not sure if I will go back. read more

Do I have a love for pizza? Yes, yes I do. Which brings me to Levetto on Sudbury! A small venue with a trendy interior and eats for all. It's got long tables for seating, so go up to the counter, place your order and grab a seat. Don't forget your drink at the counter!!! We sat down and waited. We had made a reservation, so they knew we were coming. We had a group of about 15 AND it was busy, but half of the food arrived and then the rest about 15min later. It was a kind of awkward. Luckily, some ordered more than 1 item, so they didn't starve. The food did not disappoint. Everyone who ordered pasta raved and enthusiastically tried to share with everyone because the portion was so big and they had ordered pizza too. When the gal from Italy says it's good pasta, it's good pasta. For pizza, I ordered the Pollo Tuscano. A perfect size for 1 person. It had chicken, sundried tomatoes, tomato pesto, red onion and fresh basil. The toppings were fresh and tasty, very flavourful. The star here was the crust. So buttery, fluffy and crispy. Out of all of the pizza places I've been, this crust is my favourite. Someone gave me a slice of their Patate pizza. I'd never had pizza like it. It had thinly sliced potato, white truffle oil, ricotta cheese, rosemary and green onion. I expected it to be heavy because there was potato and ricotta, but it wasn't. It was OK. It wasn't as flavourful as I'm used to, but I'd never had a white pizza before. I'm told as far as white pizza standards go, this one was pretty awesome. An added bonus to us checking in on Yelp, gave us free dessert! WOO! I got the Warm Brown Butter & Coconut Cake. It was covered in pistachios and coconut icing. It was small, but you couldn't finish it. Many of us were sharing desserts because they were so rich. The cake was moist and had just the right amount of coconut. About halfway through the cake, I was done. It became too sweet, but it was a nice finish to the savoury pizza. My favourite pizza so far! Wish I lived closer so I could pick some up. read more

we went to the mac and cheese festival and was completely unsatisfied so we decide to search of a local restaurant in the area to find this gem of a place. we go out for a lot of pasta and Italian food but we stumbled onto this place we didn't expect it to be this good. The price was reasonable and the tiramisu had was delicious. I liked that it was a cute little place that's kind of casual but not an entirely full restaurant. If we were to come to this area again we would definitely eat here. I love it. 5 stars. Food 5/5 Price 4.5/5 Venue 5/5 read more

Came here again and found out I can mix and match the pasta and sauce! We ordered the Carbonara sauce with Rigatoni pasta, much better combination! The pasta was less packed, the portion was just right with the sauce ratio. We also had the Affumicato Pizza, it came with lots of smoked bacon and mushroom, we prefer this over the Soppressata Pizza we had last time because it was loaded with more tasty ingredients. For dessert this time we ordered White Chocolate Tiramisu, it was light and creamy. They also sell glass bottled Coke there, a nice touch. Overall another satisfying meal. read more

I really LOVE this place! I've been here twice for pizza, and once for pasta and I must say that this spot really takes the cake for atmosphere, cleanliness, quality of food, and customer service. The place is always spotless when I walk in, the servers are always in a good mood, there is always more than enough space to sit and enjoy my food (I usually go early for lunch though, so I'm not sure how they handle dinner service), and the dishes are delicious! Even the prices are phenomenal!!! I love having this beautifully tucked-away gem all to myself when I'm craving Italian for lunch! I highly recommend this place to everybody, and I look forward to sampling the entire menu! read more

Disappointing. I believe they use low quality ingredients and offer low quantities to keep prices down. The mushroom pizza I ordered was small but too thick for my liking. It felt toasty and certainly the meagre toppings felt like out of a jar for its sourness. My girlfriend had the spaghetti and it looked too little a portion, but I cannot comment on the quality. They had heaped it into a ball to make it look like more than it was however. The space is not too big so they were full. Despite that once you place your order expect to wait 20 minutes before the food arrives (they can probably shave a couple of minutes by not making the pizza so crispy but because their dough is so thick perhaps that would leave parts of it raw) Verdict: not expensive, but you get cheap ingredients, cheap quality and not enough food. read more

Wow! I first heard about this place on a Facebook group for people living in LV, I figured the menu looked super interesting and I had to check it out! So glad that I did!! Pizza was fab, staff were super friendly and talkative and the desert they recommended was to die for!!! Prices are super reasonable. Enjoyed all of it! read more

Levetto - Dinner! Smoked Prosciutto Pizza and warm coconut pie! Amazing!!! - Italian Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Great food - We had the spaghetti carbonara, a small funghi pizza and a small spicy soppressata pizza. Everything was very fresh and tasted fantastic. The staff was also very nice. The restaurant is small (maybe 10 or 11 tables). We dined in, but takeout would be a great option too, and really, it seems like it was built to be primarily a takeout place. They deliver, but only if you're within a block or so if the restaurant. Highly recommended. read more

Levetto came to our attention when we were mindless looking for a casual dinner place after a long day of exam and meetings. A homemade pasta and pizza just sounds too good to pass, so we made our efforts to Levetto. It's mostly designed for takeouts (there were numerous takeout bag by the ordering counter) however there are enough space for a quick or not sit down dinner. As we went on a late weeknight, there was only one group of customers in the restaurant, so we shameless took over the whole restaurant. The server/cashier girl was very nice and checked on us every time she brought out our food. We ordered a small Funghi (mushroom) pizza and Rigatoni pasta for dinner and of course the complementary dessert. The pizza was really really flavourful, nice thick slice with crunchy bottom, just what we needed, a homie pizza. The smell of the mushroom is heavenly, the way it melts in your mouth is so sexy. The pasta was equally delicious (I was full after 2 slice of pizza, so only had a few bites, may not be enough to fully appreciate the pasta). Sauce wasn't too heavy, and the beef was so soft, wish there could be a tad more cheese and pepper to it. We had to pack up half of the pasta home to leave room for dessert. This is where they lost the star on me... Worst tiramisu I ever had, be that brown butter and coconut cake partially made it up :) read more

Cannot beat it for the price!!! Fresh made pasta was cooked to perfection with a great al dente texture. The flavor of the sauces were balanced lovely and the whole time I was eyeing the pizza from the table next to us. Will have to come back for pizza sometime. I love that the couple next to us ordered one pizza and one pasta and split it between them. Seems to be the way to go if you want to try both! read more

Levetto - Rigatoni - Italian Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

We're back on the HUNT for Toronto's BEST! Stop #1 of the pizza pie tour: Levetto I can't say that I've ever had a love affair with pizza, especially since we're typically inundated with "greasy for the sake of grease" slices from your major fast food pizza spots, but after a trip to Levetto, I might be a believer. Levetto is a small restaurant with a modern feel, near Queen & Dufferin. As an old man at heart, it's the kind of spot that you feel hip walking into, but just short of pretentious. Cool, simplistic decor, with a modest amount of seating, so I'd say limit yourself to a four person group max. Though we're on a pizza hunt, we dabbled in a little extra because Levetto is also known for their pasta and desserts. First up we ordered a bowl of Trecce pasta between the two of us. The pasta is served with garlic infused olive oil, chili flakes, sundried tomatos, goat's cheese, and arugula. Since I'm regularly unimpressed by pasta, I was pleasantly surprised with this dish. The pasta was cooked to a nice al dente, and you could taste that it's made fresh daily and cooked to order. It's got a noticeable spice from the chili, which is expertly balanced by the goat cheese that melts over the pasta. And shout out the sundried tomatos, which were wonderfully sweet hits of flavour. Then came the pies! On the suggestion of pretty much everyone, waitress included, I grabbed the Funghi. As the name suggests, mushrooms are the main act of this show. You'll get a beautiful mess of portobello, oyster, and cremini mushrooms sitting on top of a creamy layer of mascarpone cheese and roasted garlic crema. Also, there's a shredded cheese topping. (Probably parmesan.) This pie can be summed up as a savoury sanctuary of heavy mushroom and garlic flavour. And I KID YOU NOT, once you dive in, you won't even notice that there's no meat! Vegetarians rejoice! Levetto serves romana style pizzas, so you'll get a thin & crisp crust, but unfortunately this is were my one minor annoyance came in. Good luck trying to actually pick up every slice, because some of the crust gets a little wobbly after sitting under the love it supports for too long. It's still very manageable though with a fork and knife. Anyway, I'll finish with the much needed props to how after you've savoured your way inward from the creamy mushroom oasis of the center, you'll abruptly hit a crust that is perfectly crisp around the circumference of the pie. Just give me some of that damn crust on a plate, turn off the lights, and let me enjoy. I also tried a bit of the Verde pie, which stars their basil pesto and includes: cherry tomato caramelized onions, spinach, radicchio, and Fior di Latte (mozzarella). It's a much brighter pie than the fungi, with some unexpected sweetness, and an overall fresh flavour. We finished up with a warm brown butter & coconut cake for dessert. Apparently people come to Levetto just for the desserts, but I'm not about that life. It wasn't bad at all, but it was so out shined by everything else that I won't be wasting the calories on it in the future. All in all, I was really happy with Levetto, plus those prices aren't bad at all. $15 for the large Funghi. $7.5 for the small Verde. Bomb ass pizza, nice service, good vibes. read more

Cute pizza and pasta restaurant. Their pasta was cooked perfectly! I had the bacon carbonara and there was a lot leftover. The price point was mid-range, but totally worth it for how tasty the pasta was. Service was quite fast since we were there for lunch and it wasn't busy. I knocked one star off because the space was a little small. read more

Levetto - So much cheese! - Italian Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Excellent meal. I shared a Misticanaa salad, and had a personal sized Salsiccia pizza. The fennel was thinly shaved and provided a nice contrast to the citrus. The pizza was delicious and well portioned - I took half home! Because the services was a bit slow, the waitress gifted us a free dessert of Tiramisu, which we packed home and had the next day. It was really moist and full of flavour. One of my friends had the homemade pasta which was dense and rustic. The prices were VERY reasonable and food portions generous. I would definitely visit again read more

Just finished one of the best spaghetti carbonara i have ever eaten. The portion was enormous and the succulent peices of bacon plentiful. We started with the funghi pizza, which was also amazing. The space is nice and open, with a great view of all the activity in the kitchen. Between dishes, the chef also finds time to check in and offer both insights into the dish and an affable smile. This is one of the better Italian spots in all of downtown toronto and at a much lower price point. It isnt fine dining, but the pizza and pasta would be up to the challenge of many of Toronto's best spots. read more

I had an excellent lunch at Levetto. The pasta was al dente, which I like. The bacon was plentiful and had good flavor. The portion was large and everything was very hot and freshly prepared. The staff was very nice and service was better than average for a counter-order restaurant. Would have been nice to have some wifi as I'm from the US and had planned to request an über after my meal. I just walked a little after till I found free wifi. I hope to return on a future visit. read more

I've been to good Italian cuisines and I've been to really delicious excellent Italian restaurant. This place falls a bit short from being good. I have to admit that the staff are a friendly bunch but the service is a bit off due to their ordering methods. Pay now, pay later, here's your food, where's the cutlery, can I sit here? What is this place? Serve yourself or am I being served? Pick one rather than trying to be different and unique. I'm here to enjoy the food, not chaos. The food. Thumbs up on the fresh pasta but the dishes was not cohesive and was confusing like the service. Their pastas are a little more seasoned than I'm used to and the portions are a little more than I can handle. I've had the rigatoni and the carbonara on separate occasions. Both times the sauces were overly reduces making it too salty. The large amount of bacon in the carbonara made the dish too salty, and what's with the raw green onions? It somewhat balances out the saltiness but it gave it an Asian fusion taste to it. The pizza are more to my liking. The Dow is a bit thick but it's cooked to my liking. Can't resist the fungi pizza - it's my favourite here. read more

Good roman style pizza with cool toppings mixtures but portion is small. 12$ for a 4 square pizza and the waiting time is alright. The seating is pretty cheap feeling. The pasta was good but the pizza definitely outshines it. read more
