    I booked a table over a week ago yet when we got there the table was not ready and she had to organize and push two tables together. Waitress came around and gave us water but it was about 10mins later they asked if we wanted a drink. It was a lovely day and no where near dark outside but all the curtains we closed it was so dark we could not see the menu and had to turn the flash light on my phone. Food was mediocre to say the least the Lasagne had no filling and pasta dishes were boring and flavourless the presentation was also none existent. Service was very slow music was loud and we couldn’t hear each other speak. We will not be returning !

    So glad this restaurant is still authentic and still family owned. The bolognese sauce is still one of the best in the city.

    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.
