LEVANTE
Italian & Mediterranean Grill in the Heart of Abingdon, VA
Wood-fired flavor, fresh handmade pasta, and a Mediterranean table — steps from the Barter Theatre.
924 E Main St · Downtown Abingdon, Virginia
Wood-fired flavor, fresh handmade pasta, and a Mediterranean table — steps from the Barter Theatre.
Levante brings the bright, sun-warmed flavors of Italy and the Mediterranean to Southwest Virginia. Every day we hand-roll pasta, fire the grill for locally sourced meats and seafood, and dress crisp vegetables in good olive oil — simple, fresh, and made to share.
Whether you're catching a show at the Barter Theatre, coming off the Virginia Creeper Trail, or celebrating a night out close to home, our table is set for you.

"We stopped in before a show at the Barter Theatre and the wood-fired lamb was honestly the best I've had outside of Italy. The flame really comes through. We'll be back every visit to Abingdon."
"The handmade tagliatelle tasted like someone's nonna was back in the kitchen. Warm, unhurried service and a lovely patio. Easily our new favorite spot for date night downtown."
"Rolled in hungry off the Virginia Creeper Trail and the mezze platter plus grilled branzino hit the spot. Fresh, generous, and full of flavor. Best Mediterranean food in the area."
