LaBrezza Ristorante in Calgary

The CEO Romi was amazing all night, we had a group of 13 and she was able to constantly go around the whole table delivering unwavering kindness and it really felt like we mattered. Her care she put into her work was not like any other I ve experienced in Calgary and for a local restaurant I can proudly recommend for anyone to come try this place!

The amazing Romi was the best server ive ever experienced. Out of a group of 13 she remembered all of our names and was on top of all of our orders and drinks. Her kindness and her sweet smile definitely made our night. The food was top notch the service was the best and the atmosphere amazing. Highly recommend this place and pray you get Romi as a server!

The atmosphere is amazing . This restaurant is family owned and you can feel how that is based on how they treat their customers.

Such an amazing dining experience! The food was so delicious and the waitresses are so nice! Highly recommend! The atmosphere is so cozy too!

This is my new favorite place to eat. The food was AMAZING, I had the Penne Alla Vodka and it was delicious! It was very busy when we showed up but other than that one of the best places Ive been too. Its such a a cute place and very charming. The staff are so kind and again the food is so amazing. Will be coming back again!

Came here tonight for the first time - everything was so amazing! The staff is amazing as well!!! The bruschetta, calamari, and the fettuccine truffle mushroom was soooo good!!

Amazing food and service! Maurizio is always greeting us with the biggest smile, making the atmosphere very home like. We always bring friends here.

Amazing food amazing service, makes you feel welcomed. Highly recommend

As a foursome we went out for dinner. Restaurant was busy but not packed. We ordered the gourmet pasta plate with veal cutlet, with side of Ceasar salad. The service was slow and other tables who arrived after us were served before us. The salad was very tastiest but overly salty. The small plates came.to the table very cold instead of hot which was odd as the pasta would cool down quickly which it did. The pasta plate came only warm and we asked.for it to be heated up. The pasta we were.told was heated in the microwave and returned but not hot. A short apology was offered but nothing more. No.offer to reserve hot pasta or comp us or even offer a future discount on a future visit. Good selection of wines however only one brand of beer. It is over priced for the cold food we were served. Not likely to come back. On the up side the portions were quite large and nicely presented.

If I could give 10 stars out of 5 I would. I recently had the opportunity to dine at La Brezza and the service and quality of food was spectacular. Maurizio and team really outdo themselves. We had the calamari, the bruschetta as well as their pasta platter that allowed us to try 3 different pastas. To end off, we had their amazing home made tiramisu which was as good as the tiramisu I had in italy a month before this. I cannot say enough good things about this spot and the story and heritage just makes it that much more spectacular. I will be back for more soon!

This was my first time visiting this cute restaurant in Bridgeland. The calamari and bruschetta were so delicious I would highly recommend. For my entree I got the fettuccini carbonara and it was so good. I haven t stopped talking about this place since I visited. I felt like family and felt so cozy and comfortable.I can t wait to introduce MY family to such a special spot. I will be back! Thank you :)

Very great service, would definitely recommend!

Welcome Home is the words the owner Maurizio greets you with at the door. And from the minute you sit down to when you go to leave you feel just that, completely at home. If I could give 10 stars I would, the food is delicious as are the drinks. A great old school Italian atmosphere with eats just as good as Nonna used to make. If you re looking for an authentic Italian meal, look no further. Being a local to Bridgeland is a real treat with a gem like this in the neighborhood.

Always a pleasure coming in - I highly recommend. I most recently tried the gnocchi which was excellent! Cozy atmosphere with lovely and attentive service.

This is a very cozy restaurant in the heart of Bridgeland. The ambient and se4vuce were superb, with delicious food. It also has a small parking lot.

We dined here over 30 years ago, and it was every bit as good today. We will be back again much sooner!

Celebrated my Sister-in-law s 60th birthday and the place was absolutely fabulous. Do not hesitate to eat here. Wine, food and ambiance were spectacular. Cheers!!! Dietary restrictions: GF noodles cooked to perfection!! Sometimes very hard to do for restaurants.

This small Italian restaurant is a real gem! Cozy atmosphere, friendly staff, and of course, amazing food. Every dish is made with love and tastes incredible. This place is perfect for a romantic dinner for two or a gathering with friends. Ill definitely be back to try more dishes from the menu!

Great food. Excellent service. Awesome atmosphere.

Great little Italian restaurant that s been around for decades. Still the same family making wonderful dishes in a great atmosphere.

A must-try Italian gem in Calgary! I was invited here for an event and immediately felt in love with the cozy atmosphere this place offers. The food was flavorful, the presentation was impressive, and the owner was very attentive. He checked on every table, making sure that everyone had a great experience. I would give more stars if I could!

Dinner with a group of friends. Food was unbelievably good! Portions were exquisite (almost too much). Temperature was great, taste was amazing! Owner spent some time with us, telling some of the history of the place. Had a wonderful evening! Definitely will return again!

Been coming here for decades. Recently, they changed their iconic, amazing bruschetta into something new an entire dehydrated tomato on a slice of bread with ricotta. Please, PLEASE bring back the old one!!! If you need, have two options on the menu but PLEASE bring back the classic bruschetta! I would come and order only the bruschetta and I cannot get anything as good anywhere else!!! If not for that single choice, this place is a 5/5: incredibly friendly service, fabulous pasta, and surprisingly delicious cocktails, all for a much better price than most places in Calgary. Recommend (weirdly) the margaritas and limencello best margarita I have ever had, and a smooth, delicious limoncello. Truly worth the stop, but please save yourself the heartache I went through and don t order the bruschetta. Wheelchair accessibility: Inaccessible, stairs to enter the restaurant.

Amazing Food paired with some of the best customer service I have ever seen. Everything that we ordered tasted nothing less than excellent. Me and my wife will be going back !

Got a warm welcome and had a great dinner with friends and family. Perfect location in the heart of Bridgeland!

Great waiters, staff is fantastic! Food was delicious and a reasonable price. The service was impeccable and would definitely recommend to anybody! They were also very accommodating!

The food was so delicious, I can t wait to go there again as a big fan of the Italian food , recommended

Food was good. Service was bad. I grew up going to this restaurant. Knew the founder very well. I wish the staff was accountable to his high standards of service. Took 5-7 minutes for someone to greet us at the door. We just... Stood there. Took 25 minutes to get a piece of cake. Then we were told they would take care of our dessert and it still ended up on the bill. A few adjustments and this place could be amazing again

Why is the extremely loud and unpleasant music played all day, disregarding the fact that nearby residents may not wish to listen to it constantly? Its affecting my childrens ability to sleep at night. Cant they show some consideration?

The food was good, but not great. The calamari antipasto was quite good. The lasagna was not particularily good, somewhat dry and flavourless. I cant say that Im sorry we went, but Im not thniking of returning.

The food here is amazing however, I have shown up for some take out on more than one occasion during their hours of operation only to be met with a locked door and no one answering the phone. Just now I showed up an hour before their scheduled closing time and the door is locked. I knocked and called, no answer. As much as I love the food here, this is quite frustrating. If they dont want to let people inside during their scheduled hours maybe they should adjust said hours.

Dined in last night. The service was amazing. The owner and server were extremely attentive and ensured we were taken care of all evening. The food had amazing flavour. 10/10 would come back!

Best pasta I have ever eaten! Amazing service and atmosphere couldn t be happier with my experience! 10/10 recommend!

Delicious Italian food gear service. New chef is awesome

Everything is amazing here! I highly recommend the tender squid to start and the ravioli with seafood! Such amazing food and the staff is awesome!

The food was incredibly delicious and very reasonably priced. The atmosphere was incredibly welcoming and all the servers were very friendly. Being here filled me with warm memories of my childhood and I felt like I was back home with my family. I highly recommend La Brezza to anybody looking for an authentic, home-style Italian dining experience.

Absolutely adorable, intimate dining experience. The food was phenomenal and the service was even better! I cant stop recommending this place to people.

First time visiting LaBrezza and definitely not the last. Our server was fantastic, the owner super friendly and the food was amazing. Highly recommend a reservation as it get busy.

The Marco Abdi legacy lives on ! Congratulations Maurizio, and thankyou. We had a wonderful evening Friday night. Food

I should ve walked out before ordering. dirty glasses, dirty ripped dog-eared menus, if they can t get that right image the state of the kitchen. Gross. $50 Charcuterie board looks like it was made with packaged meat and cheese you can find on the shelf at a co-op grocery store. LOL no attention to detail or care about quality. Don t go here. if you want a good Italian restaurant just go to Teatro or Bonterra downtown. 0 stars.

5 stars in everything

Amazing

Come here every time I visit Calgary. The owner is super nice and always attentive, making you feel like part of the family every time you visit. The food is amazing (especially the calamari)! And never misses. Will happily be coming back in the future!

My favorite authentic Italian restaurant in YYC! My husband and I have been regulars at La Brezza for many years. The food, service, and overall experience is always exceptional Maurizio goes above and beyond every time to ensure a memorable dining experience. Recently, they revamped their menu so we had to give it a try and we were so impressed! We loved the variety and the shareable plates. My favourite was the black Tuscan kale salad and the cauliflower arancini (incredible!), and my husband loved the pear & pecorino ravioli. You HAVE to try their bruschetta too - it is to die for. I m still dreaming about this meal and can t wait to go back again soon!

The pasta was really good and the cauliflower dish!

Great food great experience.

The lasagna was absolutely divine. Some of the best authentic Italian food I have had.

Best Italian place. Josh had great service

The best Italian restaurant in town

I came here with my boyfriend for his birthday and it is such a beautiful restaurant. You walk in and feel so comfortable surrounded with a caring atmosphere. The staff is amazing and went above and beyond. Will absolutely be coming here more!

Wow. i m amazed by the service, hospitality and catering of this beautiful restaurant I came here for dinner with my girlfriend just to see what s on the menu. I was appalled by the cooking and freshness in Drinks, Food, and Dessert. So much goodness i couldn t even stop eating. Thank you so much to all of you at Labrezza for your service! I will be back!

Wow, the location and space is so cozy and welcoming. The management is extremely accommodating and I will be visiting with my wife again soon.

We loved our experience at LaBrezza!! The food and the service was amazing! It s easy to see how this restaurant has been in business for so many years. Will definitely be back!

A must try hidden gem!! The service was homey and welcoming. The cannelloni was out of this world, and a family recipe that brought a tear to my eye! We are from bc but will definitely be dropping in again I the future.

The pappardelle was absolutely fantastic, La Brezza is a great place to bring someone for a high quality, made from scratch dish. Service was quick & prompt, with great service from the wait staff and Maurizio. Would recommend to dine here everytime.

I ve been coming here since for years. When Marko owned it, sadly after he passed his wife and now his son. Still the same great place, great food and a great place for gatherings.

On our first visit to this restaurant on last Mothers day, the server showed us at the entrance the only two choices for the celebration, so We didnt like it and decided to leave, and someone approached us in the parking lot asking why we were leaving and after the explanation, he identified himself as the owner of the restaurant and invited us to choose whatever we wanted from the regular menu, we came back and enjoyed our food and the environment which its great. The owner was amazing and give us the opportunity to come in even when we didnt like the closed menu. The 4 starts on service is only because the server looked bored and at the beginning we considered him rude. Beside this server, this restaurant is 100% recommended and great thanks to the owner who was really kind and awesome.

Had the cannelloni, it was incredible. The service was quick and the server was very personable. Great date spot, dinner spot, birthday spot. Already dreaming about going back

I had a really nice time, the vibes were really cute and the food was amazing. 10/10 would recommend

La Brezza is a very quaint place! The food was absolutely amazing and we were celebrating our daughters birthday so they gave her a birthday shot and a free dessert! Great service and amazing food!

Food is amazing. Best pasta. Dont settle - keep advancing the menu, and with the high level of service and this place will be at the top. And make sure you never run out of tiramisu :) Well come back for it.

Amazing place. Very delicious food. Great atmosphere and service. Would recommend if looking to have some great Italian food.

An excellent atmosphere and a beautiful family run business. The friendliest and kindest staff and I cannot preach enough how this restaurant should be visited! I will be back!!

Weve 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 wasnt 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.

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!

really good people

Maurizio and his staff do an amazing job of making you feel special. Food is also amazing!

Amazing!

Came to Labrezza for Mother s Day. Was an excellent meal. 10/10 service. Evelyn is a fantastic server. Maurizio is also very kind. Definitely coming back

The best Italian in town

First night at La Brezza. Drinks, food and service were amazing. Evelyn and Josh were delightful and we also met the owner who went out of his way to introduce himself. Highly recommend La Brezza! We will 100% be back again.

Wonderful food, great atmosphere. Fully enjoyed dinner.

Was invited to a lunch meeting with a colleague and hadn t been to La Brezza in a while and it was wonderful ! Food and Service 10/10 !! You have to check it out and say hello to Maurizio. We will be back.

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.

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 cant do that I can only assume their lack of commitment has fallen wayyyy down.

Our meal and drinks were amazing! The owner greeting every table was very personable and kind. Michael was our waiter and made great recommendations! Every dish we had was delicious and reasonably priced. We will be back for sure!

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.

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, its 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 youre craving a taste of Italy and a warm, inviting atmosphere, make your way to La Brezza Ristorante. Its not just a restaurant its a place where memories are made and flavors come to life.

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

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.

Homely. I ll be back again Parking: Hassle free Food : 5/5 |

The food, service and ambience is really beautiful. Everything was super good and I loved it

Allan was very nice restaurant was the best

What an awesome spot. A Calgary mainstay for many years but has recently passed from the original owner to his son (Marizio) and daughter. They know how to treat customers right and make them feel appreciated, almost like family. The food is authentic Italian obviously put together by a group of chefs who care passionately about their craft. I ate her 2 weeks ago and Im already headed back. I cant believe how many Calgarians Ive talked to who either have an amazing story from eating here over the years OR have driven past hundreds of times and wondered what its like. If youre in the latter group, stop wondering and give it a try - you wont be disappointed. Vegetarian options: Its Italian - just about anything can be made vegetarian.

Wonderful food, wonderful people, relaxed atmosphere.

We attended an evening private function for about 60 at La Brezza and had a wonderful time. The hors doeuvres were excellent, the service was very attentive but not imposing, and the atmosphere was buzzing. I did find the noise level was a bit loud for comfortable conversation, but everyone was thoroughly enjoying themselves. Parking was a touch challenging but there did seem to be plenty of parking within a short walk. All told, it was a very enjoyable evening.

I attended an evening function at La Brezza Feb 20. Maurizio and his staff were super cheerful and the service was excellent. The appetizers were plentiful and oh so good! Highly recommend!

I co-hosted an event at La Brezza. A cocktail-type function with staff serving canapes and the guests using the bar in the restaurant. Everything was great. Strong endorsement. Feb 2024.

The most authentic Italian restaurant in calgary, we were told how famous this restaurant is and we had to see for ourself if you visit calgary you need to try this restaurant experience out.

Friendly staff, great food, warm atmosphere with a touch of casual elegance.

I have been coming to La Brezza for years and they never fail to impress and delight. Food is always amazing and service incredibly friendly and attentive. Special shoutout to the owner Maurizio for making everyone who dines here feel like family.

Very good carbonara, pasta was a perfect al dente and generous with guaciale (not pancheta) and pecorino. Calamari was fork tender with a spicy tomato sauce, buonissimo! Mammas meatballs were melt in your mouth tender and beautifully seasoned, yummy! Very enjoyable meal, will be sure to return

Best Italian restaurant in YYC!!!! Always a great experience

Absolutely thrilled with my experience at La Brezza! The owners personal greeting, delightful recommendations, and constant check-ins created a warm and humorous atmosphere. His infectious smile added an extra touch of charm. The calamari was a standout, and every dish showcased impeccable preparation. A must-visit for exceptional service and mouthwatering cuisine!

The linguini alla pomodoro was very good! Evelyn was a fantastic server. 10/10 would recommend!

Food and service was amazing! Hands down would come back again

This is a small but beautiful restaurant . Nice cozy and classy ambience . We went for lunch and loved it. Has a great menu and food was fantastic . We had several appetizers ,mains including the dish of the day Arctic Char. The desserts were delicious we had tiramusu.amd cheese cake. We were served by Evlyn, she was very friendly and efficient . This place is suitable for small groups . Has parking . Kid-friendliness: We had 2 year old with us. They gave a high chair. Also was very polite to her so she was very happy . They prepped meals for her too.

Went for dinner last weekend to La Brezza, the food, service, and overall experience was amazing. Not only was our server fantastic but the owner himself came over to our table and made us feel at home. If you want some real authentic Italian food there is no better place in Calgary than La Brezza.

Very quant, smallish Italian Restaurant. Friendly and knowledgeable staff and THE Most Delicious food! I will definitely be back when it s my turn for Date Night.

Loved La Brezza in Bridgeland when I went there last night. Their featured appetizer which was a plate with three breaded cauliflower cheese balls on tomato sauce was spectacular and the pasta Al Funghi was very great. Thanks Evelyn for the excellent service.

Food is extremely overpriced and basic! Not worth the visit.

Our waitress was absolutely lovely, as well as the quality of the food. Highly recommend this family run business!

Great atmosphere and fantastic food and service. Thank you

The food was amazing and the staff made us feel so great. I recommend this amazing little spot. If you re looking for Italian food in Calgary, this is the only place you should go!!!! Evelyn was over the top amazing

My group and I had a great experience at La Brezza! True authentic Italian food that is hard to find in Calgary, along with some unique flavours. Our host was very caring, so there was nothing short of a amazing experience on our end!

I was visiting Calgary during the holidays. I was referred to visit La brezza , a legendary Italian restaurant in the heart of bridgeland. The young man who took the helm running his family restaurant was very attentive right from start...the food, ambiance and service were impeccable! We will definitely go back and I highly recommend this Napolitano restaurant!! Parking: Enough parking spots

So bad experience. No etiquette,no respect with coustmer. And the guy he said he owner.if he is owner. hows the staff . Recommend do not go in restaurant.

Ì had a meetup of 9 attendes. The service was more than negligent. We waited over an an hour for our meals without service from you but the final bill was at least %33 above what we spent? Are you kidding? Not ever going to frequent your restaurant again. Not ever going to be in this group again either

We had a great dinner here. Crowd pleasers were: Calamari, ceaser salad, bruschetta (and I don t even like tomatoes?!), salmon, chicken parmigiana, and fettuccini alfredo. Thank you for the wonderful food, and good service even though the place was packed! Dietary restrictions: My husband is on keto, the salmon was perfect and had no sugar or gluten. Kid-friendliness: Full kids are happy kids:)

This evening outing was a success for a first time visit! A none reservation drop in and was not disappointed. From the out side looks of a small house from years gone by. Inside was masterpiece of cuisine and attention to detail in the food. The service was spectacular even though the large party of a family celebrating. We were still treated as a valued guest. The food was on point in presentation and taste. It s always a wonderful thing when a small business is invested in their own success and it shows! The Lamb Shank was very delicious and likely the best I ve ever had. The Linguini was so flavour and pasta was cooked to perfection. Am so happy to be looking forward to more visits to come!

Great food, super friendly staff! Elven and Maurizio were really welcoming Food

Ive been coming to La Brezza since I was just 3 years old and honestly, its like they can do no wrong. Every single time I eat here, its a solid 10/10 experience. The food? Amazing. The vibes? Perfect. Its like every dish they serve is a hit. Seriously, if you havent tried this place out in Calgary, youre seriously missing out. Its been a staple for me for years, and it never gets old. Trust me, give it a shot and youre gonna be wondering why you didnt come here sooner. Best spot in the city, hands down. Dietary restrictions: They cater great to GF just called ahead of time to sort you out.

An amazing experience last night. Everything from our server, Evelyn to the deeeelicious food!!! This will definitely be our favourite place not only for us but to bring family and friends. And remember to have the Tiramisu

One of the few places in Calgary that offers true authentic Italian cuisine. Great place ! Carbonara was amazing

Amazing food, and amazing service! Maurizio could not have been more accomodating and welcoming. Truly makes you feel like you are the only one in the restaurant. I couldn t eat the pork on the set menu, and they provided me with something even better. Truly grateful! & Evelyn was a great server! Props!

The best Italian cuisine in the City! Maurizio will take care of you and Evelyn provides excellent service. Buon appetito!!

Fantastic food and the service is 10/10. Great local restaurant with good atmosphere.

Incredible! The owner is amazing and greeted each table individually. Easily the best Italian weve had in the city. Will be back for sure.

My wife and I celebrated a late Valentines Day dinner and as usual the food, service, and atmosphere was outstanding. This is my go too for Italian dining in Calgary. Lick your plate good!!!! The wine was fantastic. This was a four course meal with wine and beer, plus dessert. Our waiter Michael has been a longtime employee and is exceptionally knowledgeable on food and drinks. The owner, Maurizio Abdi, stopped by the table to check how our experience was going. Always a pleasure having this attention to detail. Parking: A small lot out back but the street parking is plenty and a walk in the neighbourhood is always great.

Great food, quaint atmosphere, excellent service. Our server , Evelyn, couldn t have been more attentive and friendly. We had a group of 6 and our total experience was the highlight of the long day of activities. 5+++ stars.

Incredible food, great atmosphere & amazing service! Cant wait to come back and try everything on the menu

Loved everything about this place. The service was warm, friendly and very knowledgeable. The food was INCREDIBLE. Best calamari and pasta Ive ever tasted. Cant wait to come back and try everything on the menu.

Food was delicious. Especially the Calamari!

Totally fun and friendly. Awesome food. Thank you Food

I was here for a book launch event and the food was amazing! I will definitely be back.

Maurizio is an amazing host! The food was to die for and I sure will return! Grazzie Mille Maurizio for a wonderful time <3

Delicious appetizers with vegetarian options were served by the very welcoming staff for a private event. A simple, comfortable atmosphere typical of the genuine Italian dining culture.

I recently had the pleasure of attending a book launch where La Brezza handled the catering beautifully. The appetizers were of course decadent and the service was at La Brezza level finery.

So we walked in at 2:50 pm and there was two people hugging it out in the kitchen. Not sure why but didn t really care. We sat ourselves to a table and waited to be served. We sat there for 20 minutes maybe a little longer with no one coming to serve us. Not a hello, not a would you like water not even a menu. They were looking at us but nothing but silence. So we got up and left and still no response. It didn t bother me but the wife was very disappointed. She was looking forward to trying their food plus she was hungry. As well we were the only two people in there. So I can t see us ever going there again

Best food and experience I ve had at an Italian restaurant. The food was amazing and the staff were very nice and attentive.

Our server Evelyn was amazing. Her perfect timing and sense of humour was wonderful. Food was amazing the casual atmosphere with our adult children was perfect. We will be back.

Hi just wanted to put that my parents went here and told me that everyone was fairly rude. They stood at the door for awhile waiting to be seated no one came so they sat themselves as I m sure anyone would. Then once they flagged someone down to order they told them that they shouldn t seat themselves. Nothing about ordering drinks or guiding them somewhere where they should sit. They were then left again for a while. So they left with no food and bad customer service.

Always an unbelievable experience here. Service is great and Mauricio goes above and beyond. 100% a favourite in the city.

The quality of the food is amazing! Honestly 5 stars is to low!! The food and service deserves 10 Stars great place to have a company event and they have a great atmosphere. Highly recommended and will always be my number 1 stop for pasta.

Parking: Small parking lot Food

Food is unbelievable! The service was super friendly and genuine. Maurizio is a great man. It s become a regular spot.

La Brezza s service exceptional, and the food was amazing. Best Italian food in the city! Very cozy atmosphere that reminded me of Europe. They treat you like family.

What a perfect place for a family evening! A cozy little hidden gem with lovely service and amazing food. Maurizio, the owner, goes above and beyond to make you feel at home.

I love how small and cozy it is. The place has great history, great food and great service. Feels like a little home and is perfect for a nice intimate date.

Best Italian food in Calgary, with the best hospitality as well. The lasagna and the Calamari are amazing. Beautiful atmosphere with an authentic feel. Will definitely be back!

Amazing cozy atmosphere and the food here was incredible

Upon being served an un-breaded chicken parm, we asked our server if the kitchen staff forgot to bread our chicken. We were told that this is the way chicken parm is made in Southern Italy and that we should have read the menu more carefully. Chicken parm is an Italian-American dish. You would never be served chicken parm in Italy. La Brezza Ristorante is laughably bad. Between the slow service, multitudes of similarly frustrated customers, and terrible food, I would avoid this restaurant entirely.

Love it. Super accommodating for the weather. Best birthday dinner ever

Everything was great. Good atmosphere and amazing food.

Charming, made for lovers. Despite the frigid temperatures Calgary was experiencing we were made welcome and warned.

I love delicious food & Im gonna always come back ,bellissima principessa Cairo has given good service .

I took my parents, sister and nephew to celebrate my mom s birthday. The reviews was that this neighbourhood restaurant was good so we gave it a try. We will NEVER GO AGAIN. The service was quite bad, slow and not attentive. We ordered dinner platter for 5 and the food honestly was feeding 3. I indicated to our waitress the food wasn t enough and asked for the menu so we can order more. She never even bother to come back to check on us or take our orders. We ended up leaving very disappointed. Definitely would not recommend this place to anyone.

Delicious Italian served here. This place is for the discerning diner. Excellent staff that made us feel welcome! Evelyn was a standout! What a wonderful guide to our night! Thank you!

Best service I ve ever had

Excellent treatment, managed by its owners, you feel at home. The food is simply delicious

Great Pizza! Vegetarian options: The ravioli was good, but the pizza was great.

Phenomenal experience, and now we understand why this gem has been a Calgary staple for so long. Great atmosphere (they also have a patio), and the service was top notch! The Calamari, mushroom ravioli, and Tiramisu were our favourites. We will definitely be going back.

Dining at La Brezza may have been the best doning experience Ive had. We sat outside and someone (not our server) came out to turn on some music for us, came by to check how we were doing multiple times, brought us some drinks he was trying out and was an all around delight. Our server was knowledgeable, easy to chat with and pretty funny. I would come back here again.

Best calamari in town along with our Italian cuisine.

Amazing carbonara! Noodles have the perfect al dente chew and the sauce is so flavourful and fatty from the guanciale. Delicious!

Food was tasty and good but portions were really quite small, not great value for money because of that. Atmosphere needs some work, restaurant looks a little tired and they were playing Christmas music in June?? Service was good.

Quaint and a long time Calgary landmark for Italian food in Bridgeland. Reservations are recommended on busier nights. Great big spacious sunny patio. Smaller menu but tasty nonetheless. Cozy inside and warm. Had a great meal and our server was courteous and friendly. Definitely worth checking out and the menu is great and they will always try and accommodate your needs and requests. Miss you Marco!

One of the best Italian restaurants in Calgary.

La Brezza is back! New chef, new menu, new management. Outdoor dinning. This restaurant has made a remarkable comeback. The new menu is lighter and more flavourful. The portion sizes are perfect. The menu is neither too large nor too small but well balanced. Portion sizes are perfect. Many of the dishes have a light but flavourful cherry tomato base. Burrata is offered throughout the menu. The current chef is from northern Italy and this is reflected in the quality of the dishes.

Such a cute place with amazing pasta and Calamari to die for!

The staff were so welcoming and the food was amazing! If I could give this place 10 stars I would! I tried most of the pastas and the chicken parm entrée, all were fantastic

Love it! I was in Calgary for three days and went for dinner there twice. The service staff and owner Marcelo were top notch!

Food

This is really a nice first class little restaurant inside an old house the owners of this place really take pride with their food and service. Great outdoor patio nice and big, beautiful umbrellas. My head goes off to this place.

This restaurant was so pleasant and nice to dine in , the food was delicious and the waitress was so friendly and knowledgeable about their dishes and what was best., the owner came by the table and gave us a drink that his dad made with secret ingredients, it was delicious, I would definitely recommend this restaurant to everyone, it was an awesome experience, food , atmosphere, service, were all exceptional would highly recommend to everyone. Thanks for a nice night

We ate at this Italian restaurant. It was a nice surprise. Good food and excellent welcome. And then finally an Italian restaurant where Italian is spoken. Because going to a restaurant for me is not just about good food, what counts above all is the environment and the kindness of the staff. Maria is gorgeous.

My favorite place

It was excellent food, wish they had low carb pasta options, but no matter. Cocktails were okay, not my favorite. But everything else excellent

We are visiting from Phoenix Arizona and decided to try this restaurant We had Mushroom Ravioli, Chicken Parmigiana and Nonna s Meatballs. All were incredibly good with the meatballs simply amazing. Gary (my husband) Met Mauritzio (sp?) who is now continuing this family business. What a pleasant young man whose father would be so proud. Staff were all pleasant and the inside was a restaurant that seemed like it was Nonna s living room. Looking forward to eating inside when we return. We will be back. Gary and John

Food so good. Dessert awesome and great service on a Friday night.

This little Gem in Bridgeland dates back to when all the Flames and Calgary Stampeders used to hang out and now looks little dated but amazing authentic Italian food now managed by former owner s son Maurizio. Maurizio before returning to take care of the business played professional Football in Europe. (Soccer) Beautiful spacious patio and cozy inside. Had a great lunch. Linguini with Burrata and my friend had Insalata Caprese. My Linguini was made to order as I m vegetarian and it was absolutely delicious. The wine selection was reasonable also and our server Maria was wonderful. Thank you.

Got the cannelloni and it was completely flavourless. The waitress who had been great up to that point made herself very scarce did not come back to check on the meal. I was starving and got a hold of some salt and proceeded to eat most of it. The owner then came by and asked about it and I told him. He offered to replace it, but I was in no need of another flavourless cannelloni as he told me the sauce was pre made. He did send over a free desert. The wine we had was delicious. Definitely pretty pricey for what it is.

These people don t understand the City of Calgary noise bylaw which clearly states that there should be no excessive noise after 10 pm. I wouldn t be sad to see this place shut down. Totally unfair to their neighbours to host a concert and not get the proper noise exemption permitting. I have a kid at home that can t sleep.

They re poor neighbours to the rest of the community. Don t host a concert after 10pm and think it s ok without the proper permits. There s a noise bylaw for a reason. Don t like it? Go talk to the city. Manager was also arrogant with his response.

Good service portions are French but taste is truly Italian like I had not had ever in Calgary. Although portions are not huge are enough to satisfy. So much that didn t have room for dessert oh well, there s the excuse to go back And fine, margaritas are not Italian, few places make it to my liking this is one!

We decided to pop in after getting a sampling at A Taste Of Italy this weekend. A coupon for a free appetizer was a nice value added. Food is very authentic so you wont be disappointed. Not a huge menu but that just makes the ordering/eating that much sooner. A short wait, probably due to the added guests from the festival happening a couple blocks away, but felt welcome right from the start. Kudos to our server Alykzandria (new to the city but not to hospitality). Thank you Maurizio and to all the staff for a great meal

Had dinner there with some friends on the patio, it was our first time there, have to say overall 5 star experience. Great service, even better food and the atmosphere was great as well, will go again for sure!

La Brezza is a great local, family owned restaurant. The food was so delicious, and the service was great! The salmon was perfectly cooked( one of the best I ve ever had) and the chicken was cooked really well, and wasn t dry! Being lactose intolerant, I really appreciated the steps that they to make sure I felt comfortable and they made special accommodations to the food I ordered. Would 1000% recommend !

A night to remember for sure. Great place to have a party or just a relaxing dinner for 2. The meal was outstanding! The food just kept coming and coming and then some more came. WOW! Excellent service as well. This place is 5 star all the way.

Arrived when they were closed between services. And with out hesitation took us in and served us an amazing meal.

La Brezza Ristorante in Calgary has truly won our hearts. Weve spent 15 years searching for the perfect lasagna, and finally, our quest has come to an end here. The Beef Lasagna at La Brezza is simply outstanding. Its the lasagna weve longed for - each layer filled with flavor, tender beef, al dente pasta, and a heavenly sauce. Their Ravioli is equally remarkable, a testament to the art of Italian cuisine. Delicate pasta, fresh and flavorful fillings, and a sauce that harmonizes beautifully. And, to sweeten the deal, their desserts are divine. Eevery bite is a sweet revelation. The attentive staff and inviting atmosphere only add to the experience. La Brezza Ristorante in Calgary is where we finally found the lasagna weve been searching for all these years, and we couldnt be happier. If youre in Calgary and craving an unforgettable Italian meal, this is the place to be.

Great food and atmosphere

Love this staple restaurant of bridgeland! Delicious food and atmosphere. Can t wait to see the renovations.

Maurizio, what a host!! This restaurant is legit the perfect date spot.

I had a wonderful experience at La Brezza! Our friends and family came to try out the new menu and check out the space. It was all fantastic! This restaurant has been a true gem to Calgary and the Bridgeland community, and it s extra special to see the family is continuing on the fathers legacy. Looking forward to coming back!

Service was amazing. Took my girlfriend for a night out and was not disappointed. Food and drinks were awesome and the owner was very friendly!

I happily attended La Brezza on date night and had an exceptional experience. The food, atmosphere and company was all incredible. I highly recommend La Breeza.

This is such a great place to spend your time with friends, girlfriend\boyfriend, family. Somewhere a bit dusty, but its so cozy inside. I really liked staff, they are kind and attentive. And of course food, damn, Ill be back there to try the rest of menu.

Definitely the spot to go to for authentic Italian dining. Ownership creates such a vibrant and inviting culture! Can t wait to come back for more!

The chicken parmigiana is fantastic, I have ordered from here a few times and they generally dont skimp out on the meat. Really great sandwiches. Great place for lunch.

My name is Rae I recently ordered from La brezza via Uber eats and I don t know who picked up the phone to talk to me and help me with my order adjustment but let me just say sir, you deserve a raise. Hands down the best customer service I ve ever received in my life, very direct knew what was going on sorted it out immediately, was so polite I was refreshingly astonished. The food on top of that was amazing despite it not being what I originally ordered. Whoever you are bless your soul you are what all customers wish their servers were.

I had the worst experience coming to this place, the food was terrible. Appetizers are soggy nut fresh poorly done. The Barata cheese is horrible. Honestly I don t know where it gets this rating of 4.4 however, I have to put things in perspective and let everybody knows that they should better off Spend money somewhere else because this is absolutely not an Italian restaurant

I love this place! Old-school swag and charm, delicious seasonal menu, I always come here with my best friend to celebrate. Highly recommend for any occasion.

You know how all restaurants became noticeably terrible during the pandemic with low quality food and poor service? Not this one! This restaurant is now one of my favourite restaurants in Calgary! I went several years ago and don t recall it being that special, but I ve been there twice in the last few months and now I can t wait to go back! Delicious and HIGH QUALITY food (which is so rare these days) that is prepared with just the right mixture of flavour. I loved the calamari (easily the best I ve ever tasted), the carbonara tastes like the one I had near the Vatican in Rome, and the tiramisu was delicious and not too big, not too small. Even the Caesar salad was the best I ve ever tasted! The whole group I was with took home leftovers because it was a lot of food that NOBODY wanted to go to waste. Definitely a great place for a date with your wife or a lunch with colleagues! Well done, La Brezza!

My wife and I celebrated her birthday at La Brezza Ristorante in Calgary, and it was an absolute delight! The Lamb Shank and Linguini Scoglio were culinary masterpieces that left our taste buds singing with joy. What truly set this experience apart was the impeccable service provided by Maurizio. His attention to detail and warm hospitality enhanced our celebration, making it a memorable night. The ambiance was inviting from the moment we walked in, and the staffs professionalism was evident. I wholeheartedly recommend La Brezza Ristorante to anyone seeking a perfect blend of delicious food and outstanding service. Our evening was genuinely elevated by the combination of exquisite flavours and the attentiveness of the staff. A five-star gem in the heart of Calgary!

We had reservation for birthday dinner, went and sat down, 15 minutes passed by and no waitress offered us drinks or menus. Another 15 minutes went by, 2 more tables were seated given menus and water. The restaurant was only half occupied. In the meantime we have kids waiting for 30 minutes just to get drinks,this place is a joke, food was salty, staff were rude. The owner came and make stupid comments that we had the best view of the blue ocean which was the road that is full of snow, instead of acknowledging that we been seated, for almost an hour without drinks and food. I had italian food all my life and this place is not even close, it s pricey for the amount of food you get. I will never comeback to this place nor recommend this restaurant to anyone.

Amazing food, amazing service!

Had an amazing dinner experience tonight. Food was very good. I had the salmon and it was spot on. Will come back with friends for sure. The owner came and chatted with us and explained the history of the restaurant. Very nice young man. Lovely place.

Absolutely amazing! Could not recommend more highly. The food was absolutely fantastic and the customer service was even better. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience and will definitely be coming back.

Could this be the best restaurant in Calgary!!? I think so. If you haven t eaten at this Calgary landmark then drop what you re doing and make a reservation. Seriously!!! We celebrated our son s 18th birthday in this the charming old house turned into a restaurant and were once again blown away by the quality of the food. Just like nonna used to make! Oh and the service? The absolute best led by Maurtizo !! Friendly, warm, hard working His parents raised him right! . You definitely need to eat here soon!!!

The food was incredible

What an experience. Let s start off by the warmth that our host Maurizio provides. Such a kind & welcoming personality, just his people skills in itself are a reason to come back. I know Labrezza has been going through some changes & with changes come challenges but, the food was phenomenal. They have really landed in a good place, absolutely loved my dinner. Thank you for such a beautiful evening Maurizio. Calgary needs more service minded people like you.

Really enjoyed my meal! Not fancy, just really good food like your Italian friend s mother would make. The kale salad is delicious & I enjoyed the veal Marsala special served with spaghetti aglio e olio. Very reasonably priced dishes. Our waiter was personable & the owner was genuine & welcoming. Will definitely dine there again!

La Brezza is a home away from home. Travelling from Australia, La Brezza was a warm and welcoming restaurant that felt like you were having a family dinner. Their food was the best Italian I have had yet and if only I had the room, I would have kept ordering off the menu. The intimate restaurant is cozy and wholesome and definitely a place to visit. It just might be Bridgelands best kept secret. To those travelling, put this restaurant on your list to visit, you wont be disappointed. Maurizio and Filomena were so generous and we thank you so much for your kindness, loving energy and a wonderful night out.

Going to Labrezza felt like eating with family. The food was incredible the service was quick friendly and amazing and it was seriously one of the most fun girls nights ever. I couldn t recommend it more if you want great vibes and great food. I ll go back again and again. Thanks for such an amazing experience!

I will start this off and say the food was fantastic. Very tasty. Well cooked and seasoned. Service was a bit slow. The big thing was we ordered a feature dish which ended up being 5 olives, 2oz of bruschetta, a goofball sized burrata cheese and 2 crostinis. It was good but the cost ended up being $40. That was more than our mains cost and we had one crostini each. Not sure how it was $40 for a feature appetizer. Ended up making the meal an expensive one which was unfortunate because the food really was good. 3 stars

Wonderful family run restaurant. Excellent service, good food. The dessert was great
