    La Brezza hosted my party of 6 , and I could not be more thankful for such a local yet impressive and authentic restaraunt. the host Sasha as well as Maurizio go above and beyond expectations to make every patron feel at home, and you cannot find this in other restaurants. I will most definitely be returning and I am so so impressed and blown away by the staff, great time.

    Went with a date on Monday to La Brezza and so glad we did. It was our first time there, but we had very high expectations due to all the great reviews. They exceeded our expectations I am happy to say. We started with wine which (Maurizio)our waiter helped us pick. Paired very well with our meals and was awesome. Had the calamari and bar none was the best I have ever had. Totally not like the normal deep fried rubbery stuff I have had. Had the bruschetta and it was delightful too. Main course for my date was mushroom fettuccini (not the right name) and was probably in the top 10 for me for best pasta dishes I have ever had and I am old ha ha. I ordered the chicken parmigiana and it was great too! Topped it off with the tiramisu which was really good too. The service by Maurizio was wonderful, attentive but picked his moments as we were having great conversation. Knew all the dishes so well and made spot on recommendations. He was smiley and super fun. Absolutely top notch service. Restaurant ambience had nice music and was a great atmosphere for a date. I highly recommend this place. Honestly I will be telling my friends about this place and likely is my personally highest rated restaurant to recommend to people in Calgary.

    We loved our visit. WE moved into the neighbourhood recently and wanted to try restaurant just steps from our new home. Tonight was the night. The restaurant is not pretentious at all. Lovely and comfortable. We walked in and were greeted by Marizio. A table by the window, and voilà. The service was attentive and not overbearing at all - as too many places are today. This is not a restaurants that counts on multiple sittings a night for the same table. You will not feel rushed here - which will make us regulars for sure. The wine list was simple and of quality. The menu is sure to please most tastes. The prices are reasonable post-covid. The quality of the food was wonderful. The shrimp appetizer is to die for! At the end of the meal, Marizio served us a lovely digestivo. The evening was lovely, un-rushed, comfortable and oh so good! We will for sure be back to our restaurant "down the street".

    The appetizers were amazing, so fresh and delicious, the pasta was ok, and I expected the Tiramisu to be better, service was adequate, she had a few tables to keep her busy. Overall I’d say I’ll go back

    The food was absolutely delicious. The calamari was so tender, close to the best we’ve ever tasted. The owner is very charismatic and welcomes everyone. We got hugs when we left. Definitely returning
