| - I had the opportunity to dine at Levetto on Wednesday night with a group of friends, one of whom is the Organizer of a Budget Conscious Restaurant Goers group (Itanni B).
At first I was going to get just a pasta but ended up including a personal sized pizza as well incase I didn't get a chance to come back to the neighborhood any time soon. All of us also got a free dessert because we checked in on our Yelp app so that was a bonus treat :-)
I ordered the Patate Pizza because the description for it stood out among the list of pizzas available. The portion size for the personal pizza that I ordered is enough to fill up someone who wants to enjoy the dining experience but is watching the amount that they eat. And also if shared among four people, it works as a good appetizer and the toppings were distributed evenly enough that for each smaller piece you could taste all the flavors on the pizza. But I think I'm going try out their tomato based pizzas next time.
When I was looking at pictures of the pastas for the Sudbury St location, the Rigatoni stood out as having the most balanced ratio of meat to pasta, as in there was a enough meat accompany every forkful of pasta! And I was not wrong in making a smart choice to get that dish. The braised beef was so tender and it complimented the texture of the rigatoni. And the generous sprinkling of Parmesan cheese, slowly melts into the sauce and adds some creaminess to it. The Rigatoni had already become my instant favorite even beforeseeing it for real. Coincidentally the Rigatoni seems to be a favorite of most diners because I saw more pictures of this dish on the reviews, and also three of us (out of five) ended up ordering this dish. The restaurant did not hesitate with the amount of cheese they put on some of the pasta dishes and also the pizzas. The Patate pizza also had a good amount of parmesan on it which was also distributed to the sides of the plate, so I could even add more cheese on top of what was already on the pizza.
For dessert, I had my heart set on the Panna Cotta but ended up picking the Coconut Cake with a really tasty frosting or sauce and I'm not sure what the featured ingredient in it was. And it also had a decent amount of coconut and chopped pistachios on it. The cake itself had the texture and sharpness with the spices as that of a carrot cake but with coconut instead. I'm not a big fan of coconut based desserts and treats but this cake was delicious enough especially with the sweet sauce. But I'm still going to get the panna cotta next time I'm there.
The service of the restaurant was upbeat and the staff there were pretty friendly and also accommodating, especially when we wanted to move to a different table. Hopefully the quality of service will remain the same, you can't go wrong with that, certainly not.
Overall, a good dining experience!
