Celebrated my daughter's birthday here and we absolutely loved it! We have been coming since the doors first opened and have never been disappointed. Food was delicious and everything came out quick and fresh. The whole family enjoyed their time and we all went home with full bellies :)

We were drawn in by an advertisement for a classic Italian film screening in the backyard which did not quite live up to the expectation created by the ad! Oh well, judging by the crowd we were probably the only ones interested. That said, the food and wine were very good, and the ambience in the outside garden very nice on a very pleasant summer evening. Like everything in the "new" Long Island City, Levante feels like it was born yesterday despite a strong effort to create atmosphere and community. We'll see if it stands the test of time, but it could certainly be a nice place for a night out if you're in the area.

An unexpected jewel of a restaurant. Although their wood fired pizzas looked teriffic we chose the bibb salad, branzino, pasta, and the eggplant side. All items prepared with their own distinctive flavors and taste sensations. Service was attentive, not rushed or pushy. Highly recommended.
