Levante

The free focaccia is divine, long rectangles of bouncy tasty bread. The wood fired levante pizza, a classic. And to warm the soul, the lady who takes your order.

This is a very very mediocre place. Mediocre food, disappointing service and freezing, unfriendly vibe. Stay away. Run, run, run!

Wonderful spot for super fresh Neapolitan style pizzas. Prices fair and certainly with one pizza, it’s enough for a person to get filled up on. When you take a bite, you want to savor every second. I didn’t get a chance to try the main dishes.

The food was very mid. Similar pricing places elsewhere would go much farther.

There were 3 in our group so we decided to get a bunch of stuff to share. Everything was good but nothing stood out. I felt like I could get the same anywhere else in the neighborhood.

Came here with a large group and shared 4 different pizzas (LIC, aglietta, bufala, and montanara), and 3 pastas (rigatoni, triangoli). Out of the pizzas, the aglietta was my favourite as the garlic added a lot of flavour to the pizza (especially if you like garlic). The pizza dough is chewy and fresh, but I would say I’ve definitely had better pizza in different Italian restaurants in the city. As for the pastas, the pasta itself wasn’t the best and nothing stood out to me in particular. That being said, the service and ambiance of the place is great, and definitely has a warm energy to it.

This is a cozy spot in the Long Island City section of NYC. It's nestled between 2 other larger restaurants but has a quaint, decorative feel. Much like that hidden jewel off the side of your favorite marketplace. I enjoyed a Mother's Day dinner with my little guy after getting my hair cut. The food was relatively good. I'm keen on seasoning and spices. While it didn't have much of that, the flavors still came together surprisingly well. My son's pasta could have used a bit more herbs and a splat more of salt, pepper, and olive oil. Nevertheless, we enjoyed the service and the way the waitress really tried to accommodate a children's meal that my sun king would enjoy. This place doesn't have a children's menu. At least not when we visited 2 years ago. Vegetarian options: There's pasta and the option to not have cheese. But some vegetarians will consume dairy.
