  • La Brezza is the closest restaurant to where I live in Bridgeland. In fact, it is so close, I could sleep walk to the place, thinking that the bungalow is still part of the old Red Light District of the past. The restaurant is in an old converted bungalow whose windows are prominently lit with LED's. Personally I find the space small, cramped and tight. I guess if you're in a romantic mood, with the candles lit and smoking, you could describe it as intimate and inviting. If this was Nice or Cannes, I would agree. But it's not. So let's get a grip on reality here. This restaurant is in the heart of Little Italy and the Italian competition up and down 1st Avenue is stiff. The only thing missing on the Avenue are the touts loudly encouraging you to enter their versions of Roman culinery splendour. But I digress. The ambience at night (I have not had the plesure of sampling their daily atmosphere) is acceptable and pleasant. After many years in Calgary, they have weathered the storms and energy peaks, and continue to attract a hardcore group of ardent and loyal customers who relentlessly return for more pasta. Season after Season. Obviously they are addicted to the large, heavy, generous and to be fair, zesty servings, offered by the Owner, who like his neighbour on the next block, personally and regally, (somewhat authoritarian?) intervenes in the affairs of the restaurant. Food generally well prepared, very tasty, attentive and pleasant service, and a so-so wine list. My difficulty therefore, as I have the choices that I have, is whether I walk to the nearest restaurant, the lazy option,or whether I walk a block or two, past La Brezza and go to an equal or better choice. Tough decision, but usually I walk past this restaurant! of course, In the interest of my health. If you havent eaten there however, and you like variety, and an out of africa italian colonial experience, try it, you will not be disappointed.
