Fresh Recipes, Honest Cooking

Fresh Recipes, Honest Cooking

Our menu is built around real ingredients and thoughtful cooking. From sourdough pizzas and baked pasta to quinoa bowls and fresh salads, every dish is made in-house. We avoid fillers, additives, and seed oils, focusing instead on clean oils, premium cheeses, and slow-fermented dough. Whether you want comfort food or lighter options, our menu keeps things simple, clear, and nourishing.

Food Without the Junk

At Lievita, we believe great food starts with trust. We partner with Ohio regenerative farms and choose organic, non-GMO produce whenever possible. Our beef is grass-fed, our poultry is raised humanely, and our recipes stay free from harmful additives. We also remove seed oils and use butter, EVOO, and beef tallow instead. This commitment helps us serve meals that support better living, every day.

What our guests are saying

This restaurant is my favorite restaurant in Chillicothe. It is true authentic Italian food. It is family owned and you definitely tell it's not a chain restaurant by the taste of their food. We dine in and get takeout regularly. I'm just really impressed everything I've tried has been excellent. I ordered takeout today. It was a pretty decent size order with alot of specific details and they never messed up my order even as far as extra sauces or dressing. I want to give a shoot out to Nate he took our order today over the phone and everything was perfect. My favorite is their Chicken Marsala, Lasagna,and the pizza is to die for. The staff is helpful and amazing. It is definitely the best hidden gem in Chillicothe.

We ate here last night before going to the Majestic for a concert. This is a great restaurant! The food was delicious and the atmosphere was very nice. They have a varied menu that is sure to please anyone. I highly recommend checking them out.

Ok, I seldom write reviews but this place bowls me over. I ate there for the second time today and I just have to share my experience. The food is fabulous. I started my lunch with bruschetta and it was the bruschetta that hence forth, all others will be judged by. Then I had lasagna and salad. I could not eat all of the lunch portion after having the bruschetta and a wonderful Caesar salad but I just heated up my leftovers and remembered that I should write a review. I am a lasagna snob. I have thought, prior to today that no one could make a better one than me. Omg, was I wrong. Everything tastes like it was just made from fresh off the farm by you great Italian grandmother. I live in Ga. But visit Ohio regularly for family reasons. I will look forward to the 8 hour drive going forward just knowing I will get a chance to eat here. A huge shoutout to Tammy and the entire team for being so friendly, helpful, and accommodating throughout. The service was amazing! We were seated at the venue under the trees, such a beautiful setting! The overall experience was fantastic. We’ll definitely be back and highly recommend Lievita.
