It was our first time here and me and partner came for an early dinner. The food was immaculate, especially the calamari and the pasta dishes! The staff was very attentive and accommodating to our needs. We met Mauritzio and he was a kind soul. Thank you so much for the great service!

We've been here before maybe 20 years ago at that time everything was perfect. Food, service, atmosphere, ambience.Went there recently the management was different guys were sitting around the bar on their laptops, it brought the atmosphere down, like I was at a cafe. My noodles were undercooked and the service wasn't like it used to be. The new management was friendly but not a restaurant management type of service. More like he was trying to be our buddy. I miss the previous owners and cooks.Save yourself the trouble and checkout some place else.

We had a delightful dinner at La Brezza after a tour and tasting at the Bridgeland Distillery. Maurizio was a wonderfully enchanting host and shared stories about his parents who opened the restaurant in a small house where his father originally lived in the basement. Our server Evelyn was also charming and efficient. The four of us shared our meals of the Linguini Scoglio with seafood and the special veal with prawns - both delicious. Arancini Funghi appetizer was also excellent.

The fresh black and white interior, the classic framed photographs and the Italian music we grew up with were some of the initial impressions as my husband and I entered La Brezza last night.We had the unique opportunity to speak in Italian with Marco’s son Maurizio, who - with his sister, have become the new owners.Our welcome was so warm we felt at once at “home” in this charming restaurant in Bridgeland which has been part of the old Italian neighbourhood landscape for at least 30 years!It is worth noting their new and talented chef - Luca from Monza - truly exceeded our expectations for the quality of Italian cuisine we enjoyed along with other patrons that night.An extra happy surprise was to learn their Monday night offered 1/2 price on a bottle of your choice of wine. We enjoyed an excellent Allianico(sp?) with a charcuterie plate we were happy to share with Marco’s visiting Uncle Tim and their table. We both had the veal special and the pasta was cooked “Al dente”.My only suggestions would be to replace a fabric drape of textured fabric at the entrance since the outdoor breeze is quick to chill the room when the door is opened.A few taller and slender green plants in the corners and between the groups of tables near the bar might be worth considering.Thank you for a wonderful “date night” - we look forward to bringing out a few friends ?

"At La Brezza Ristorante, stepping inside feels like stepping into the heart of Italy itself. The cozy ambiance and friendly faces instantly make you feel like part of the family.Here, it's all about the food. Each dish is a testament to tradition and quality, prepared with the freshest ingredients and time-honored recipes. From homemade pasta to mouthwatering specialties, every bite is a taste of authentic Italian cuisine.But what truly sets La Brezza Ristorante apart is the genuine warmth and hospitality of the staff. They go above and beyond to ensure every guest feels welcome and well taken care of.While they may not have pizza, La Brezza Ristorante more than makes up for it with their delightful array of classic Italian dishes.So, next time you're craving a taste of Italy and a warm, inviting atmosphere, make your way to La Brezza Ristorante. It's not just a restaurant—it's a place where memories are made and flavors come to life."
Small family owned restaurant, pretty much an iconic restaurant in Calgary. It has been through many different management teams and this is the best one yet. Maurizio the owner has taken reigns and is a very personable gentleman always giving extra time to spark a conversation at the table with a beautiful smile. I’m excited to see what is next from him and this team.

While we were considering going to La Brezza to eat, we live in the area and wanted to scope it out before booking in. We walked by multiple days and it seems La Brezza does not care enough about their customers to even shovel their sidewalk? If you can't do that I can only assume their lack of commitment has fallen wayyyy down.

We came here for a late lunch. It was quiet and not any other customers (which we actually loved), subtle music. The pasta and lasagna were absolutely perfect. Both were great portions, left the both of us full but not uncomfortable. The waitress chose 2 drinks for our indecisive selfs and she was spot on with the choices. Very kind and welcoming staff members.
