“Cozy spot with indoor and outdoor dining. Good food and drinks. Brick oven pizza. Vety calm place in a busy area. Great customer service. I will be back”
“Heard so much of Levante and definitely did not disappoint. Great appetizers, better pizzas and next level cocktails. Beautiful spacious interior accented with 30’ ceiling. Choice of backyard dining when weather permits. Staff is very courteous and bartenders are very knowledgeable. I’ve nothing but praise for Levante.”
“Came on Friday evening around 5:30 to grab happy hour (4-6pm weekdays) and dinner. It was very quiet so we had any choice of table options so we grabbed the first seat outdoors. Our happy hour wine ($10) came with a small aperitivo (nuts or olives). The wine was your standard inexpensive hh option of red or white (tried both) and they were ok—nothing mind blowing. My husband and I shared a pizza for dinner which is always great at Levante. We ended up with 2 pieces left over. We asked for some foil to wrap it to go, but they apparently only had boxes. We carried a pizza box of 2 small slices on the subway back to flushing. It was worth it. Recommend this place for great quality Neapolitan style (brick oven) pizza and a nice quiet spot to catch up with the friends over happy hour. Only downside was service got pretty slow around 6:30/7 when more patrons came in. (Took ~20 minutes between asking for our bill and signing it.)”
“Quality of ingredients is great and we’re all pretty tasty pizza There’s not a ton of variation or non-prosciutto options, unfortunately . I also prefer my thin, sliced pizzas to be a little bit crispy on the bottom and these ones tend to be soft so some ingredients will a slide off the pizza. But if you tend to like softer bottom crust and really love prosciutto this is the right place!”
“It’s like what many reviewers have said: the pasta is just ok. But the pizzas are great. The branzino entree was great. The drinks were great. The meatball appetizer and the fried calamari and shrimps were great. The chicken milanese entree was dry, though. This was the second time there. I remember the last time was even better.”
