    First time at la Brezza. Arrived early for reso but they sat us straight away. The waiter was clearly new but very polite and wanted to learn from the other staff. We mentioned we lived in the neighbourhood and the manager was thrilled we had come to try the place out. Would recommend, especially if you want family style (sharing platters were great) traditional Italian restaurant

    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.
