    Great service, fantastic food as always. The drinks however, were on the cheap side. We had Sangria , the glass was mostly ice..very little sangria in it.

    We had a wonderful evening last night at La Brezza restaurant in Bridgeland. We started with their mixed salad and went onto pasta aglio olio for my husband and the chicken fungi for me.  Both were delicious. We each had a couple of glasses of wine from the wine list and shared a tiramisu for dessert. All were very good. We have been going to La Brea for many years and now that Marco‘s son, Maurizio has taken over; it is running even more splendidly. He is a real charmer and so attentive to ensuring clients are well served. The servers themselves are efficient and friendly. Next time, we must try the new platters of pasta that they have on the menu - three choices for two people. They looked really good as they passed by us.

    I wanted to find an authentic Italian restaurant here in Calgary and by sheer luck I stumbled upon this gem. It’s not glamorous but it feels like home. I decided to try the pasta and my sister in law had the meatballs and pasta. Oh my goodness!! I was instantly transported to Italy. The sauce was what I remember of my mother in law and in the homes of my relatives in Puglia. I love this restaurant and I’m sorry I didn’t find it sooner. Maurizio you have a fabulous restaurant and your staff is amazing thank you Phoebe. Anyone reading this who wants to feel they are having a meal (a real Italian meal) must come and try La Brezza Ristorante. I can’t wait for my next visit. Thank you so much Carol
