I was in Pittsburgh with my sister and two friends for a girls weekend. LeVia was recommended to us by the owners of SPill Wine Bar. We were seated immediately and greeted by the best waitress! Her timing of service was spot on, as well as her recommendations. Honestly, you can’t go wrong with any of the dishes. The space was small and quaint, and we loved the intimacy of our surroundings. We ordered the garlic knots with sauce and cheese, I can’t even begin to describe how incredible they were. We all ordered a different meal. Our waitress gave us four extra plates to share all of our meals, great idea to be able to try an assortment of dishes! Thank you for an amazing meal, we will be back!

Good for dating! The atmosphere is decent, and the set up is nice for two person dining. No dress code. Food is delicious! And they have fairly friendly staff too. Only complaint is that the wind will blow in whenever someone enters or exits the restaurant, making me feel uncomfortable.Kid-friendliness: Although they have kid chairs, I think the overall set up of the restaurant is not inviting childrenWheelchair accessibility: Not accessible. Front door is on the smaller side.

We come here once a year (in memoriam of my dad who survived on Italian food, but was hilariously not Italian. And it was "riggies") and we look forward to it every time. Having a reason makes it feel extra special.One server, Ali, who's been there the whole time. I love her. A man, whose grandmother is the inspiration (and I'm assuming that's her portrait on the wall) and his future wife are the only two who run the spotless kitchen surrounding a huge wooden island that any chef would be jealous of. How do I know? Oh you walk through the kitchen to get to the restroom. It's a cozy place. It feels like you're dining in your friends home that has seating for 30.ANYWAYS. Byob, great! 2024, $8 cork fee. Husband brought a flask of bourbon, didn't feel out of place with all the other wine drinkers.Garlic rolls ALWAYS with marinara and cheese. One day I'll try something else.. but they're so good. The sauce is very tomato forward, very savory. Id eat just that with a spoon.2024, I had the braised wild boar pasta. It was AMAZING. There has to be an entire bottle of wine per dish. It tastes like they simmered this sauce forever. It has tremendous layers of flavor. And the portion is huuuuuuuuge.. esp after garlic rolls.2024, Husband had pork tenderloin. Typically, would avoid pork tenderloin while dining out, but he knew it was going to be perfect - and it was. Pork was perfect medium, to his request, and the coffee gravy was very balanced. He loved the garlic mashed potatoes, but I declined bc I was elbows deep in my dish!We closed the evening with pistacho cake that BLEW AWAY my mother's (pudding and club soda lol).We love rigatoni day, and we'll see you next winter ♥️

Loved this place. Best Italian food I’ve had outside of Italy.Don’t let the fact that they don’t serve wine stop you. They will allow you to bring in your own bottle either from home or from the wine store next door.

Small, intimate space, big, bold flavor. Totally reminded me of some of the places I ate it Italy. Love the set up, love the BYOB option, amazing customer service & even better food. Best pork belly I have ever eaten! Everything was delicious, I forgot to take pictures of the garlic rolls because they were so good everyone ate them up! 10/10 try this place out! Excellent for date night!

Fantastic little BYOB in upper Lawrenceville. Corner spot. Open kitchen up a few steps from the dining room that seats about 40. Great service. Great menu. Great food. Great desserts. Will definitely go back. Hard to believe it’s been open since 2021 and this was our first time.

Six of us made dinner reservations last week. I had the seafood risotto and the others had different pasta dishes. After dinner, we all went home, and all of us were sick from the food.

And all-around great experience with both the food and the service. Would definitely recommend!
Great vibe. Great service. Food was lacking. What started out as a grand slam with the pork appetizer quickly became a sacrifice fly. Had the ravioli and rigatoni. Neither were great.
We had a fantastic dining experience here after making late dinner plans and being unable to get reservations with the "popular" Lawrenceville restaurants. They were extremely accommodating and we had no trouble getting a table for the time we needed. The place is very quaint and intimate which we loved. The kitchen is visable from the dining area which makes it feel more like a home cooked meal. It is also BYOB with a very reasonable cork fee. The food was absolutely fantastic and I missed getting pictures of most of it since we were too busy enjoying it. I almost didn't want to write a review and let this amazing secret out but they deserve to be up there with the best of them when it comes to dining experiences in Lawrenceville. Fantastic food at a reasonable price, we will be back time and time again!

One of our favorite places in the ‘Burgh. Food is fresh because the menu is seasonal and the best the seasons have to offer. Creatively and beautifully prepared. Servers are engaging and attentive. BYOB.

I hate to say this, people rave about visiting this place and spend time and money to dine here. It is not worth visiting. The menu is very small, the ambiance is lacking, its too bright, and the food doesn't have any wow in flr taste. We have visited twice. The service was pretty good both times. Unfortunately really all I care about is finding a truly delicious meal. This is not the place to find a well rounded experience. We actually ended our last experience reminiscing about the Olive Garden's breadsticks and parm cheese because we found it funny that the bread here was extra and was anything but. The located is in Lawrenceville so of course that makes it super trendy & automatically cool. Since I already have a daily overdose of Lawrenceville it take's something more than just being in Cure's former location to make me want to visit a place.Unfortunately I had high hopes for this place and it just isn't worth the time or priceWe will continue to head up to Bloomfield or a number or other places that really put on a presentation.
