REVIEW | Levetto Restaurant - College St.

Levetto currently has 5 locations (soon to be 6) across Ontario and one thing is clear, if you're looking for great Italian food with affordable prices, Levetto is the place to go! If you want to find a location in downtown Toronto, you won't have to look far as they have recently opened up shop in Liberty Village and in Dufferin Grove on College Street. 



After having been to the Liberty Village location for a delicius lunch and the College St. location for dinner, Levetto definitely isn't one to compromise quality as more locations open up.

All their pasta is made from scratch in-house and what we love most are the generous portions, as everyone knows we can eat our way through a meal. Most of their pastas range from $8-13 and considering that they're made from scratch, that's a good price for all the TLC that goes into making it!



The space is modern and casual but it still feels homey and offers high quality authentic Italian cuisine.  Their menu offers a variety of traditional and unique Italian dishes from scratch made pastas, romano pizzas, fresh-as-can-be salads and delectabe desserts.



They even take extra care into the presentation of their dishes as you can see below!

Some of our favourite dishes included the Funghi Pizza with its rich truffle oil and the Pea Pesto Gnocchi. That was an extremely innovative dish and a good way to get your veggies in without even realizing it!
