| - It must be fate that brought me (and my friend) to Levetto. We had a couple restaurants in mind, but none of them had a table available for us at the time. We were cold and hungry, I knew we needed to find something quick, so with the help of Yelp (of course) I decided to give Levetto a try.
In general, it's a cozy restaurant where you could choose to sit at the bar or one of the four tables in the dining area (no reservation available, so you might need to wait a bit if you want to dine in). Moreover, sitting in any table you have a wonderful view of the open kitchen from which you can see the chefs baking pizza and cooking pasta. The servers are patient, friendly and the place is generally clean and welcoming.
The menu is relatively small with just a few choices of salad, pasta and pizza to choose from. We ordered a Rigatoni (pasta) (slow-braised beef ragu, grana padano, chive) and Pollo Toscano (pizza) ().
The pizza's oven-baked with chicken breat, tomato pesto, Fior di Latte, red onion, sundried tomato, fresh basil. I really like it. The pizza is relatively doughy and filling but the crust is crispy. It is definitely not an authentic Italian-styled pizza, but the ingredients are flavorful which make it appetizing.
For the pasta, despite the fact that the penne is a bit stringy, the sauce is still palatable.
Side note, they serve nice little desserts like Panna Cotta, Warm Brown Butter & Coconut Semolina Cake, and White Chocolate Tiramisu. Even though we didn't order any, but they sure look good to me.
In conclusion, I wasn't disappointed, and I would definitely recommend it.
