Abdi & Whalen: The Next Generation.
What started with Marco and Ed continues at the table today. Honoured to welcome the Whalen family back home to La Brezza.
La Brezza has never just been about food, it’s about people, memories, and coming back home.
And yes… the bruschetta still is the same.

Grazie, Calgary. From our family and team to yours, thank you for every visit, every story and every shared plate.

For the second year in a row, La Brezza is proud to return to Stampede Cellar Uncorked, competing for the prize with a dish that speaks for itself.
“Beneath the Alberta Pines”
A walk through the wilderness surrounding Banff National Park, captured on a plate. The scent of pine, the depth of wild mushroom, the grounded warmth of prairie roots, all woven together into something you have to taste to understand.
Join us at the BMO Centre, doors open at 5:30 PM.

Some recipes aren’t made… they’re inherited. 🍷🍝
Our lasagna is crafted from Nonna’s original recipe, a closely guarded tradition passed down through generations and brought to life in every single layer. Rich ragù, hand-rolled pasta, and the kind of love that simply cannot be replicated.
This is not just a dish. It’s an experience reserved for those who appreciate the real thing.

A little taste of Italy on one platter 🇮🇹
Our iconic classic platter:

the original calamari from Mamma Angela,
fresh bruschetta with ripe Roma tomatoes and garden herbs,
warm, fluffy focaccia,
and our rich, house-made smoky sausage.

The perfect platter for sharing… or keeping all to yourself ❤️

03/07/2026

Wow… compliments to the chef!” 🇮🇹🍝
Every dish here is crafted the Italian way – fresh ingredients, family‑style pasta, slow‑simmered sauces, and recipes passed down with love from mamma Angela.

Because in Italy, food isn’t just a meal… it’s a moment at the table.

Head Chef Luca from Monza, Italy didn’t choose cooking — cooking chose him 🇮🇹
Behind every dish, there’s more than a recipe.
There’s childhood, family, tradition, and that moment you realize this isn’t just a job.
It’s a calling, a dream of making people happy through taste.

La Brezza Classics: Rose Shrimp Mediterranean 🍤🍝✨

Garlic shrimp in a silky rose sauce with bright Mediterranean notes, twirled through perfectly al dente linguine – no trend, just timeless flavor.

Pro tip: add it to your pasta platter for a little “secret” upgrade.

Who’s taking the first bite? 👀🍷

If you spent time in Calgary over the years, you might remember this smile. This is the late Marco Abdi – the heart behind La Brezza. From immigrant to Citizen of the Year, from a basement suite to a Calgary landmark – this is the La Brezza story, and it started with Marco.

When Mamma Angela was curating recipes at La Brezza, she truly struck a chord with her bruschetta 🍅🥖
Fun fact, our recipe actually introduced many Calgarians to bruschetta back in the day!
Almost four decades later, it’s still the most recognized and loved recipe in Calgary ❤️
