La Brezza Ristorante

We took our visiting niece to La Brezza for dinner last week and the whole meal was beautifully handled. As a celiac I had an excellent Caesar salad sans croutons and the calamari though listed as an appetizer made an excellent main course. My friend had veal parmigiana which he thoroughly enjoyed and our niece had a pasta dish topped with shrimp which she too really liked. There wasn't much room left for dessert so we just had coffee and tea. The service was efficient and we weren't kept waiting for any length of time for any of our meals. All in all it was a good choice especially as we had a guest from out of town

A Calgary institution, we have been there a few times - however when the iconic owner Marco Abdi passed away, we wondered if it's be the same quality. Happy to report it has kept its standards intact! Same cozy atmosphere, same friendly staff, same quality food. From the traditional Ceasar dressing to the perfect al dente pasta, it holds its charm.

Authentic Italian flavour. Cozy environment. Service a bit slow and the desserts were great. Appies and entree were excellent however. Reasonably priced, would go back to try other menu items.

Great atmosphere and a dining experience that is hard to come by these days. Fantastic service and the calamari is perfect!

Great food and nice local family running it. This is a goto for sure.

Amazing meal, quick to seat our table of 7 with no notice. Best lasagna we've ever had. Great service, waiter was amazing and food was even better!

Small restaurant in a character house. In business for almost 40 years. Old family recipes carried forward from original owners Mother in law. Comfortable and homey. Staff are delightful. Enjoy.

This is an exceptional family business. The pasta is pretty good but the real magic is in the sauce.

Awesome family owned Italian food. A friend recommended and we definitely enjoyed.

Food portions appeared small when they first arrived at the table, but it is sooo filling! The quality is fantastic, and the restaurant is small and cost. Fantastic dining experience, 10/10 would go again!

Great place, service was amazing. Will be back.

Shared a delicious 4 course meal with my Girlfriend on valentines day at La Brezza. Our stuffed salmon was cooked to perfection and we really enjoyed the calamari! I would absolutely recommend La Brezza

Calamari is the best. And the salads are good. Service was ok, one the owners came by to say hello which I think saved the day a bit. Rest of the food tasted a bit average.

Friendly wait staff, delicious food, excellent atmosphere. Can’t wait to go back.

Amazing home cooked food. Dessert was awesome. Service was number 1 and well priced.

A cozy little Italian restaurant with amazing dishes and great atmosphere. Superb menu selection and the staff provide great service.

The group I went with really enjoyed this place. I'd have to say the servers were the most friendly and personable staff I have encountered in years. They made jokes and suggestions and really made the experience fun. The Calimari was very good and most people's entrees were delicious. I would definitely take the waiters suggestions into account when ordering, and maybe save room for a dessert.

Always the best place to go for pasta

Make sure Michael serves you when you go there if you can! But you'll have a great time regardless! This place is delightful - cozy, intimate, and as legit Italian as it gets. The cuisine is phenomenal!

Awesome food in a cozy location. Highly recommended.

Such amazing food! Enjoyed many times in the restaurant and did takeout a couple weeks ago-so good! Certainly elevated our home dining experience. Reminded to leave this review because I went searching for their page to order again!

Food, service, wine, all amazing. Get the calamari, you won't be disappointed.

Must diner here. Friendly service and authentic Italian food. We will be back!

The food is amazing, the best Italian Restaurant, staff is so friendly and most of all, the owner is so humble and nice Definetely highly recommended

Very friendly and great food

Pretty good food, excellent mussels, service was attentive and fast. Skip the Caprese salad

Delicious Veal alla Brezza and the specials are really great as well. Support local restaurants 😀👍❤️

Great food, welcoming atmosphere, and kind staff. Really enjoyed dining here!

I had the salmon with a side of veggies and GF pasta. My friend had the chicken. Everything was super tasty. Friendly service too. Brad, our very attentive waiter, helped us work through the menu and meal specials with confidence and energy. His recommended selection of the Italian red wine was perfect for our chosen dinner selections.

I went to La Brezza for the first time with my husband to celebrate our first year wedding anniversary. This is officially my favourite restaurant and I will be coming back again and again! Right when we walked in we were greeted and welcomed in. Our server was super friendly and really easy going. The cocktails were delicious and their wine list is healthy, but not overwhelming. Now the food... it was absolutely delicious. The calamari was said to be a signature dish and it did not disappoint. It was perfectly cooked (not at all rubbery), seasoned and tossed in the most flavourful tomato sauce!

Very good food. You will test the real Italian food. Mama Angela the best authentic Italian food she cook's.Best experience ever amazing food nice place. I recomand this place for food lovers

Quite frankly, one of the most amazing Italian restaurants. I have ever been at. 5/5 recommend it! Amazing for dates and anniversaries. Food was great, fresh and completely tastes authentic. Server was professional. Just what you can expect from a restaurant! Will be for sure coming back.

Excellent calamari here, a must order. Had a shrimp pasta in garlic rose sauce, very tasty. Service was a bit confused, mixed up our orders a bit

My colleague and I were visiting Calgary for work. The food and service were amazing! I wish I remembered our server's name, but she was so attentive and fast. She was friendly and made sure that we had a great visit. The soup and chicken parm were both outstanding. If I am ever back in Calgary, this place is at the top of my list! It is a must try for Italian food in Calgary. My colleague forgot her purse in the restaurant, so they called us right away to inform us. They went to extra mile to stay open late until our Uber could turn around and get back! Amazing service!

Nice and cozy, and great food. Was there for a retirement party and the staff was extremely friendly and efficient. The meals came out hot and fresh and absolutely delicious. The pasta was cooked wonderfully and the steak I had was a perfect medium rare. I would definitely go again! (Try the Italian screwdriver)

Our favourite Italian restaurant in Calgary hands down! Their calamari is cooked to perfection with their home made sauce. Our favourite main entree is their seafood linguine, so tasty:) Friendly service and great overall experience keeps us coming back for more!

A nice quiet restaurant with a friendly wait staff. The brushcetta and calamari were quite good, but the portions were a little small considering the prices. The special was ragou which was great, it had two cheese stuffed meatballs among other stuff which was tasty. The canellonis were clearly made with care and were good as well.

We had an enjoyable and very funny evening in La Brezza. I hope the patient waitress was not too tired to serve us and ask a few times before getting an order or an answer from us. The food was very nice. I ordered linguini Mediterranean with jumbo prawns and at the end was happy with the choice. La Brezza is located in the residential area of Calgary, so you can walk after having a good meal and make some exercise before getting to the downtown.

Great gluten free options available.

Calamari is to die for! The way it is prepared, clearly lives up to the standard of best in the city! Great place to come on my lunch break. Service is also quick and friendly staff. Definitely recommend as a place to grab a quick bite, or a night out for fine Italian cuisine dining.

Really delicious food but a kind of cramped space and a little expensive for what you're getting

Absolutely wonderful service! The house wine was lovely and the meal was absolutely delicious! The service was exceptional and the server was not only friendly but made us feel at home and welcomed to relax and enjoy our time after closing.

Calamari was excellent, as was their cannelloni. Homemade foccacia bread was great!

Fantastic meal! Best bruschetta I’ve ever had!

Hidden Secret with wonderful food & great service.

The service and my meal the veal dish the breeze was amazing

Fun atmosphere (family italian) from waiting staff to kitchen food and beverages were top notch

Had lunch here with a friend, place was easy to find, and it was a small cozy restaurant setting. The server was friendly and attentive. There is a small parking lot to park at as well. The calamari was great, my pasta was good. I'm not a pasta or Italian cuisine connoisseur, but for the price and such, it was an overall enjoyable meal with nice atmosphere. I would recommend this place.

Incredible food, excellent service, worth the visit and more. Italian at its best! Will definitely be coming back for more!
