    Just had my first experience at La Brezza, and it definitely won't be my last! From the moment I walked in, the staff were amazing – so friendly and attentive, they really made the evening memorable. The food was incredible; we started with the calamari appetizer, which was cooked to perfection. Just a heads up, the place is a little small, so it can get a bit loud, but honestly, the atmosphere just adds to the charm. This place is a real local gem!

    Another hit. Really enjoy this place. To us, it is just down the street. We came here with a friend, asked for a corner table, and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The place is busy, the ambience fun, the wait staff full of energy. The food was great, those gamberi!! The wine list is on the pricier side. Coming here has never been a mistake since we have started visiting a year ago.

    Lovely experience. Service was outstanding. Best chicken Marsala I’ve ever had. Good salad. Small, but good wine selection. Classic Italian. Loved it! Will return with friends.

    The basic pasta dishes were good but I’d stay away from any other add ons besides the meatballs or sausage. Wine menu was disappointing for an Italian restaurant, overpriced and limited. They say the kitchen is nut free which my severely allergic daughter was grateful for.

    La Brezza was some of the best Italian food we have had! The calamari is to die for!! The bruschetta was delicious and the pasta was perfectly cooked! We got a salad as well but it was very salty.
