    Location is in a quiet nieghbourhood, easy access, parking easy to find. Interior is cozy enough. This place has a unique character. Staff is friendly and helpful. Food we've ordered wasn't supremly delicious but it was our first vist and we probably didn't pick the best. Definitely will come back and recommend this place to visit

    It was a really busy night and only one server for the upstairs (with a couple large groups). Food was good overall but under seasoned. We waited some time for the bill.

    Small menu of select dishes. This is a restaurant that does its craft well and thankfuly doesn’t throw the kitchen sink at you. Friendly and personal service that treats its guests very well - you know they have a personal relationship with many of their guests. Hugs, smiles and waves abound. This is a family restaurant that loves what they do and does it well. Excellent pasta, a good wine selection and comfortable unpretentious restaurant. We come back every year from out of the province. It’s still good.

    Another wonderful experience at La Brezza. Was celebrating my fiancé's birthday and our engagement! Ordered the Bruschetta and the calamari. Amazing. I am positive that the calamari here is the best I have ever had. Ordered a nice bottle of wine recommended by our waiter. Very nice and went well with our meal. My Fiancé ordered the Brezza fungi and I ordered the gourmet platter which allowed me to try 3 types of pasta. It was so good, we both had enough left over for lunch today. Restaurant is quiet and friendly. Met Lucca the head chef and thanked him for the great meal. I can't recommend La Brezza enough.

    We had an amazing experience. The service was genuine and personal. We really felt at home. We started with the Caprese Buratta. It was really fresh and creamy. We then had the pasta Carbonara. It was also fantastic. Finished off with cannolis. Awesome! We will definitely go back.

    We had a wonderful dinner at La Brezza! The food was delicious and they have so many tasty options. The warmth and friendliness combined with top notch service made this one of our favourite dinners while visiting Calgary. We also met the owner Maurizio who came over to our table to say hello. We really enjoyed talking with him. Our server Luca was very pleasant and attentive to our needs. A great time had by all! Of note: the calamari was incredible, best tiramisu we’ve ever had ♥️ Thank you. We will definitely be back!

    Another beautiful meal at La Brezza! We ate in the downstairs celebrity room, a very intimate setting to enjoy a high quality meal. As always the service proves to be head and shoulders above the rest. Thanks for always treating us like family.
