At Lievita, we take immense pride in staying true to the time-honored traditions of Italian cuisine. Our skilled chefs meticulously curate each dish, using only the finest, locally sourced ingredients combined with imported Italian specialties to create a symphony of flavors that dance on your palate.

Our imported Neapolitan “Fazzone” oven is the beating heart of our restaurant, infusing our pizzas with that unmistakable and perfectly blistered crust. Whether you’re a fan of the classic Margherita or seek a culinary adventure with our inventive gourmet combinations, every bite is a celebration of quality and authenticity.

But our offerings extend beyond just pizza. Our pasta dishes are a labor of love, handcrafted and cooked to perfection. From the Gorgonzola and Pesto Rigatoni to the slow cooked Ragù, each plate tells a story of Italy’s diverse regions, where ingredients and techniques vary but passion for food remains constant.

As you step into Lievita, you’re not just joining us for a meal you’re immersing yourself in a warm and inviting atmosphere that echoes the hospitality of Italian trattorias. Whether it’s a romantic evening, a gathering of friends, or a family celebration, our restaurant sets the stage for unforgettable moments.

    Burger was ordered Medium and came well done and dried out. Acoustics are very bad in the building and manager and staff seem to be frantically busy with take away orders. No kids menu either. Fireplace was not light in a cold evening and no background music.

    The most amazing pizza, ever. The pasta however let us down, considering the price for the seafood pasta there were very small amount of actual seafood in the pasta. Expensive seafood spagetti, but other than that a good experience

    Been here so many times already and can't fault the food, to be honest. Expensive as hell, but we keep going back for more! The caprese salad is a good way to start!
