*Please respect our small restaurant and cancel a reservation if you cannot make it :) if it’s busy we may restrict seating to around 90-120 minuteswe may not be fancy, but our service is top notch!Levant takes a modern approach to old-world flavour by bringing together the traditional method of crafting classic, Sicilian style pizza dough with the robust and aromatic flavours of the Middle East. Together, these two authentic flavours create an unforgettable Sicilian pizza destination. Using '00' flour, 3-4 day proof, and homemade signature sauces, Levant does not believe in cutting corners in the process to provide you with the best possible dining experience.Using elevated methods with traditional ingredients, we also have some of the best hummus and kunafa that you'll find anywhere in the City - maybe even better than mama's.Named one of BlogTO's Best New Restaurants in 2022, Best Pizzerias (2023), Top Pizzerias.

    Giulietta is a charming slice of Italy in the heart of the city. From the moment you step in, the rustic ambiance and warm lighting set the perfect tone for a cozy, authentic dining experience. The menu is a delightful journey through classic Italian dishes, with every ingredient shining in its simplicity and quality. Regardless what you order, meals are full of rich, deep flavors. The staff is attentive and knowledgeable, offering spot-on wine pairings to complement the meal. For dessert, the tiramisu is a must—light, creamy, and the perfect end to a fantastic meal. Whether you’re here for a casual dinner or a special celebration, Giulietta delivers a taste of Italy that feels both refined and homey. Highly recommend, this was our 3rd visit and many more to come!

    It was perfect - they could do a bit of work on the entrance when you first walk in...it looks a bit dingy, industrial with an old looking elevator going up but as the doors open you are pleasantly surprised. They didn't have room at the bar and seated us against the window - which was OK too. Once we got to the main dining table, it was so nice! A very quaint comfortable and cozy environment. It was our engagement anniversary and there was a personalized note left for us at the table congratulating us, it was such a sweet gesture <3 Each food item was like a party in my mouth! With amazing fresh rich taste of all different types of flavours! We loved everything we ate. It was so beautifully presented as well, there was some items you just wanted to look at not and eat! The service was beautiful, it just flowed so smoothly, with each server explaining properly what was in each course. I think we had like 11 courses....they just kept coming! We loved every moment of it. This restaurant truly deserves a 2 Michelin rating. Looking forward to coming back :)

    It’s always a treat to eat at Levant. The hummus is so creamy and delicious. The side arugula salad was a lovely surprise. I was expecting a simple bowl of arugula in a light vinaigrette, but it came topped with goat cheese, grilled cauliflower and pita chips with a tasty dressing. Fantastic! But it’s the (not pizza) that keep us coming back! We love all the flavors, and always order extra for reheating at home the next day.
