Description: La Brezza, meaning ocean breeze, is considered to be one of Calgary's finest Italian restaurants. Opened in 1987 and still in its original location - once the owners house, La Brezza continues to offer an elegantly simple Italian cuisine, emphasizing traditional home-cooked goodness. You can enjoy a satisfying lunch and dinner menu with daily specials and you can even indulge on Sundays as we are one of the few local restaurants open 7 days a week. We pride ourselves in offering great food, great service, and a warm, relaxed atmosphere. See you soon!

We've been many times for lunch and never been disappointed. We went for supper for the first time and it was fantastic. Try the limoncello for an after dinner drink - great stuff.

There's a reason this restaurant has been around 25 years. Amazing food, attentive staff, owner who is always there to greet you, and central location. I would recommend to anyone looking to splurge on a nice dinner.

As per suggestion of the charming owner of La Brezza as we were leaving, to write about his fabulous restaurant on Tripadvisor, here goes! (Maybe that's why it's #1 in Calgary?) Mother's Day dinner was both good and bad, but certainly not excellent, as other's are writing. We thought it would be quite busy, but the restaurant was always less... More
