Try a piece of 2x4 under the kickstand - holds the bike pretty close to level.  Just remember that it's there 'cause if you, even gently, nudge the bike on the kickstand side it will start to tip over....

You realize that when the oil was changed they (I hope) changed the oil filter, too.  There's no oil in a new oil filter, so after the bike's restarted some of the new oil goes into the filter and the level in the window will be a little bit lower...

Yes, they changed the filter and pre-filled it before putting the new one on. I'm lucky to live close to one of the better Ducati dealers and maintenance shops in the US. They're very friendly and knowledgeable.
