Levetto

This place is still really consistent and delicious– wish I lived closer! (I also learned the hard way to call ahead for take out during peak hours…)

I did not expect Levetto be so crazily busy on a Sunday evening.
The takeout requests was just crazy: both phone in and walk in. The wait for food was around 45 minutes. It was kind of insane for pasta and pizza.
The quality of the food did suffer due to their popularity. Caesar Salad ($ 9) was really fresh since it did not involve any cooking. But Affumicato ($ 8.50) bacon was burnt, I just scraped those off. They forgot my Rigatoni ($ 14) and the girl gave me a takeout order that belonged to someone else. The braised beef ragu was really good, I would recommend that instead of the pizza.
I don’t mind coming back but definitely on a weekday.

Before coming here, I was really excited to try this placed based on the 4.5 stars review. I really think Unilocal reviews are rigged these days.
We ordered…
— pea pesto with truffle oil pasta. It was super bland and tasteless
— rigatoni — this was probably the most decent and flavourful dish. Cooked al Dante and tomato sauce was tastey.
— smoked prosciutto pizza — dough was thick, wasn’t hand tossed, you can tell it was a pre made dough as it wasn’t chewy. More like a flat bread.
To top this all off, after waiting an hour for our order, we asked the staff where our meal was and apparently it «didn’t go through». We could’ve been sitting there all night waiting for our meals and they would not have noticed. After the staff discovered out meal «didn’t go through» no apologies were given. Wow. The three stars I have given is a generous score.

Didn’t know what to eat tonight, was wanting for something light, you know what let’s order pizza! First was too lazy to order by phone, but this also offer an online ordering system, very easy to use. So we order the funghi and affumicato. My girlfriend wants veggie only so funghi was quite a match in heaven for her! The order was ready at the time indicates when I went to pick up. The affumicato was amazing, I know it’s shareable but I’m a hogger for the pizza! The funghi was so good, never ate one that so good take out pizza before. Will definitely come back for more!

What a hidden gem! I drove by this place a thousand times but never noticed it. One day I was looking for a decent pizza spot on Unilocal and this place came up. When I just entered I was a bit surprised… The place itself is tiny and this is not a full service restaurant… But the food was just great! I got pasta bolognese and my fb got mushroom pizza. Both were very good.
I’d definitely come back but maybe get a takeout this time

Levetto is a nice, fairly small Italian spot serving salads, pastas, pizzas, and desserts. There are only about 5 or 6 tables + bar seating inside the restaurant but they also have takeout. Food is ordered and paid for at the counter beforehand if you are dining in.
The carbonara pasta ($ 12.50) was creamy and had lots of bacon pieces. I like that they make their pastas and sauces fresh. The pasta dishes look smaller in photos than they really are because of the large bowl they come in; one portion was actually quite a lot.
Compared to similar dishes from traditional Italian restaurants, the food is pretty inexpensive and tastes great!

I came here with a friend yesterday for the first time. Its a relatively small place with about 4 tables or so only. I noticed most people ordered to takeout.
My friend and I ordered the Carbonara pasta and the Fungi pizza. I personally enjoyed the pizza more as I love mushrooms. I normally prefer my pizza with some sort of tomato base, but this pizza tasted awesome without it.

We came here to get take out since we were in the area however we weren’t that hungry. Ordered the Funghi pizza, carbonera pasta, bucatini and a panna cotta. Once we got into the car the smell of the mushroom pizza was drool-​worthy! I must say the pizza was the highlight, it had a strong mushroom taste coupled with garlic crema and mascarpone cheese, it was perfect. The pizza crust was similar to a focacia bread texture but lighter. I’ve been craving it everyday since I had it last, it’s been a week and it will likely be tonight’s dinner. Even though we are about 20 minutes away, it’s definitely worth the drive.
Also important to note that the pastas were very good as well. I love how they make their own pasta. Would definitely pick the carbonera over the bucatini though.

It’s in a small plaza, but with plenty of parking. They make tasty freshly made pizzas and pastas for a reasonable prize. I have only eaten the pizzas and they are pretty good.
They also serve different coffees, soft drinks and beer!
The restaurant has about 5 – 6 tables that seats 2 – 4 people.

Been here twice and both times we ordered the Rigatoni with slow braised beef ragu and smoked proscuitto pizza. I enjoy the pizza here because its not your typical pepperoni or hawaiin pizza but they coat the pizza with date sauce which makes it sweet and enjoyable and the layer of argula makes it nice and refreshing. The toasted almonds also add a nice crunch to it and makes the pizza fun to eat. The crust I would say is medium thick and good to eat. Would be nice if it came with some dipping sauce too.
The Rigatoni is good as well because the sauce tastes healthy yet tasty and the beef is braised nicely. Small place but with a nice casual cozy atmosphere.
Their dessert selection is good as well. The first time we came here we tried the panna cotta which I enjoyed — light, slightly lemony and not too sweet. Would recommend this place if you are craving some pizza or pasta in Vaughan

Small little restaurant with a quick take out ordering style. There are a few tables for you to sit and dine at after you’ve ordered and paid. The menu has different selections of salad, pasta, and pizza.
We had the Rigatoni Pasta and Funghi Pizza! They were both good choices — The food tasted great, and certainly satisfied my cravings for Italian. However, while the Rigatoni is a decent option, it tasted a bit mediocre and wasn’t too distinct to me. I expected more after reading the reviews, and felt as though I could order something like that anywhere. Probably wouldn’t get this item again. I really liked the pizza though! It was delicious, creamy, and tasted different from the pizza I usually eat. Medium is the perfect size to share between two people.
Service was average. Didn’t really get a chance to talk to anyone at the restaurant at all, except for when I went up to get my order taken.
Overall, Levetto is a pretty nice place to stop by for a quick bite if you’re in the mood for Italian. I recommend ordering in advance if you don’t to wait — It took us about 15 minutes to get our food. I probably wouldn’t travel far to come here, but since I live somewhat close, I would probably pay this place another visit to try some of the other items.

Reasonable prices, very friendly staff, pizza crust was amazing!
Cons: this place is freezing! And so was our pasta unfortunately.
Came here on a Friday night and wasn’t too busy
Would probably try their food again and hope the pasta is actually hot.

We were very impressed.
We were in Vaughn rather late and looking for some Italian food when we found Levetto on Unilocal.It’s a fast casual Italian restaurant with limited seating. You order at the counter and sit anywhere.
We got a panzanella salad, the rigatoni pasta, a half pizza, 2 wines, and a Coke (the glass bottle kind) all for $ 62. We were 3 people and we could hardly finish our meals. The pizza dough was very good. The pasta was al la dente and just right.
All 3 of us were very impressed and will be visiting the other locations which are closer to us next!

Had the Funghi pizza, Polio Toscano and Carbonara Pizza — everything was so delicious! $ 14 (6 slices) for a medium pizza and $ 7 for a small (4) and a huge bowl of fresh pasta.
When you arrive you order for dine in or take out — there are a few tables and since we went around 6pm there were plenty even on a Saturday evening. The food came quick and everything was fresh and delicious. My favourite was the Funghi pizza being a mushroom lover. The cream sauce was just right without being too salty.
I added Italian sausages to my bacon carbonara pasta and the dish was not salty too. This place offered a great taste of Italy without being too fancy or expensive.
It was quite a drive but definitely worth it! I highly recommend it :)

Five stars for Levetto!
I tried their potato pizza even though I swore I’d make the mushroom pizza my bitch but mmmm, no ragrets!
The small was a decent size. I ate solo that night and ate the four slices up. I love my food and I over eat most of the time, so the four slices from this pizzeria was perfect. I wasn’t stuffed but I wasn’t left wanting more either.
I really like the white sauce pizza. The crust was thick and chewy with and was topped with some crazy-​good rosemary and ricotta.
I’m determined to sample the mushroom pizza along with some pastas. On top of all this, the price is right!
It wasn’t over, Levetto. It still isn’t over.
UPDATE: I sunk my teeth into the mushroom pizza. Wasn’t disappointed in the slightest. I will return!

Levetto… A restaurant in my neck of the woods that I finally had the opportunity to try. At first glance, this place seemed very informal, relaxed, and quick… And it was. We entered the very small restaurant, ordered off the wall menu (I only noticed after that they had card menus right next to the cash), and sat down. I suppose this place is more of a takeout joint, as they only have 4 – 5 tables seating max 4 people each, and a small bar seating area. I found out some time later that this place actually delivers, which is cool, because Italian restaurants generally don’t do delivery (they do however deliver to a limited area, for around $ 6 delivery charge).
We ordered just the Pollo Toscano pizza. Came out quickly, and at first glance, I wasn’t sure the pizza actually had chicken on it! Very little chicken, but a lot more cheese. The dough seemed crunchy but flaky, which was nice. Not a thin crust pizza at all… I guess that was ok. All ingredients seemed fresh. After glancing at the table next to me (where the patrons ordered pizza and pasta), I’d probably try the pasta next time. Portions looked pretty big (enough to share), and fresh. I’ll give this place another shot for sure! Overall, tasty pizza, but I haven’t tried enough to give this place a 100% justifiable rating.

Came here one night when I was seriously craving for some carbs. My boyfriend lives nearby and we decided to stop by for dinner.
We ordered the Carbonara for our pasta — it came with an abundance amount of bacon which I did not mind at all — I loooove bacon. Very tasty with black pepper, scallion and cheese. The portion size was huge as well.
For our salad, we got the Panzanella — grape tomatoes, croutons, red onions, spinach and basil. It was dressed nicely and complimented our pasta very well.
We also ordered a small soppressata pizza (spicy soppressata, basil, and tomato sauce). If you havent noticed, we wanted to pig out. We weren’t able to finish the pizza, but if I had more belly space I would have devoured it in seconds.
Levetto is a take out style joint so you order and pay first then you can enjoy your meal after. For the price, its a fanastic deal for what you get. The food is top quality as well. As Schwarzenegger would say… I’ll be back!

This is an update to my previous review back on the 10^th of July, 2015. After my first ever review, the owner contacted me, and apologized for the quality of the food. He was very caring, and I must give kudos to him for contacting me. Not every owner out there contacts someone, and wants to follow up. The few who do, are the ones that do care about their customers, and their overall quality.
I went back there today to give them a second try, and this time ordered the Tagliatelle pasta. My colleagues also came, and both ordered the Caesar salad and the Soppressata pizza. It was busy inside as it was lunch time, but we were able to get a table. After 10 or so minutes of waiting, the orders came in one by one.
Well it was time to see if the quality of the taste had improved, and lo and behold it was. The pasta was cooked perfectly this time to my liking, the tomato butter sauce was great and tasty, not too light, not too heavy, and the sweat peas and grape tomatoes were cooked properly. I actually enjoyed my meal thoroughly, and left the plate empty.
My colleagues also enjoyed their meals and so did I. I can definitely say that this time around, it was well worth the experience, and I will be coming back for more to satisfy my hunger.

Different but good
Small cozy place, easy going young staff, very casual. It can be confusing here if you didn’t read Unilocal first, order right when you walk in like at a pizza-​pizza but sometimes they bring the menu over and carry on like a waiter in a restaurant bringing napkins, cutlery, condiments and menu.
Pizza crust is very light and airy, crust has the crunch while middle has a slight soft chew. Small size pizza is very small which left lots of room for tiramisu. Dessert was good, huge coffee juiciness explosion from soaked lady finger cookies, mascarpone is nice but not as solid/​firm as the traditional filling and berry coulis on top did not compliment or do much to the taste profile.
Would come back again for pasta but bring small group of friends as finding open tables or counter seating can be hard. This place is great for take out to eat at park across street.

First of all, this location is more like a café as opposed to a restaurant. There were 4 small tables that fit 2 – 4 max. And with 4 people, with food, there is barely enough room.
Second, the casualness carries through with the ordering process. I sat down for a couple of minutes before I realised that NO ONE was coming to the table with a menu. Patrons have to approach the front cash, place order, pay, then sit. Food will be served at your table.
Girls at the cash were friendly, and stopped chatting/​texting as I approached the cash. All young people work there, so just a warning if you have a problem with this. It’s ok by me just as long as they get you what you want when you ask for it — and they did!
Neighbouring table was given menus, while my table of 2 were not. No biggie, just a bit inconsistent.
Ordered a Margherita pizza to share ($ 12, medium) and a Tagliatelle pasta (~$ 12 as well). Decent portions for both. Crust on pizza was more like a fluffy bread. Tagliatelle did not have much taste. Noodles did appear homemade and were cooked al dente. Just an issue with taste as everything was just «ok». My bf and I agreed that Marcello’s, near Vaughan Mills, is much better in terms of food and service, especially food.
So alright as a takeout, if you live nearby, but just ok, I-wouldn’t-drive-out-of-the-way type joint!
