This is a must-try if you're in the Queen West area! Levetto is not your average Italian restaurant. It has a fast casual vibe and serves a high quality selection of pastas and pizzas. Walking in, you'll notice the restaurant is quite small (so not really good for groups to dine-in), and you have the option of walking straight to the counter/kitchen area to order take-out.
I opted for the dine-in option with a friend, and we tried the Spaghetti Carbonara as well as the Funghi pizza. The carbonara was delicious, with bouncy pasta noodles that definitely taste handmade (as you will see in the looping video on their screens). The savoury bacon melds perfectly with the egg-washed noodles, topped with scallions and a generous helping of grated parmesan cheese. The Funghi pizza was delicious as well - although the mushrooms were a tad too salty for my liking.
By checking in on Yelp, we got a free dessert, so we ordered the Warm Brown Butter Cake. This was HEAVENLY. It tasted like a warm coconut cookie topped with a delicious cream sauce and chopped pistachios. I would come back again for this alone!
Service was attentive, and prices were very reasonable. Our bill came to under $40 for two people, and we were stuffed with leftover pizza to take home.
