Review Summary

La Spada is described as a stylish, warm Italian spot that feels like a little piece of Rome in Montreal, with a cozy yet upscale atmosphere, a welcoming bar area, and a menu built for sharing that shines with house made bread and focaccia, burrata and arancini, and a strong selection of pastas made in house alongside standout mains like duck ragù over pappardelle and fresh seafood; the wine list and cocktails are frequently praised, and several reviews note the service as attentive and friendly, though a few visits cite slower pacing, miscommunications, or dishes that were overly salty or overpriced, along with occasional reservation mishaps; still, La Spada is viewed as a top Italian dining destination in the city, beloved for vibrant flavors, thoughtful preparation, and a lively yet welcoming vibe, with many guests planning returns to explore more of the menu and celebrate occasions.

Went to LA Spada on a Tuesday night & it had a really vibrant atmosphere. Staff was friendly... got to meet the owner. Started with the house made foccacia... & it was great. We ordered the Gnocchi with mushrooms. Very good... the Cacio & Pepe, & The chicken cutlet. All very good. I really liked the chicken because it wasn't your traditional basic chicken parm dish. There were a variety of flavors to it. Wait staff was friendly & attentive. If I had to really nitpick to find something to improve on... it would possibly be drink times...but even then when a resto is full its to be expected. All in all a great addition to the neighborhood, & I can't wait to go try more dishes soon!

Just opened about 1-month ago but this place already feels like it's been here for years. The staff were super friendly, attentive, & well versed with the menu & wine selections. Our waitress was Absolutely fantastic. Her food recommendations were perfect & the wine pairing was spot on with our preferences. We will definitely be back. My only comment was that the music was a little too loud. One notch lower would have been perfect cause you want a good vibe musically but you don't want to shout all night across your table.

Great vibe in the restaurant, the staff were attentive & courteous. Owner Scott was present & this is great for an owner to do ! Restaurant is very chic & has a great ambiance like being in a Roman restaurant. Antipasto Misto Fritta could use some more flavour as it lacked flavour & was soggy. Cacio Pepe was delicious!

Coming La Spada is like taking a trip to Italy right in the heart of Montreal with having a beautiful restaurant where the ambiance matches the food that is being served. High-quality casual so that anybody who does come there has an amazing fun night with a journey of flavours. The restaurant itself is designed very well with the very casual type of nighttime dining where there is a bar there are multiple areas where you can see the kitchen from, overall the photos & painting all around the restaurant just give it a more cosy & vibe. With having that fine dining feel. & the iconic photo on the outside just gives it everything that you need to know that this is a simple but amazing Italian restaurant. Going to the food, the dishes that we were given were all high-quality, & made with the upmost care for the best combination of flavours. I would definitely recommend the bone broth tortellini, which is just Out Of This World & in flavours, the Caesar salad was made with care, & was so good. The veal wrapped in prosciutto was amazing as well. Overall, the food here is definitely worth the price that it is being served at & I definitely will come back again to try other items off their menu. My overall experience with the service, & the people who were there was amazing, the waiters & the maître d' were very attentive. My hats off to the host Liam, who gave us the best experience we could ask for & shout out to to one of the owners, Scott, who explained how the flavours were being combined to equal what I was tasting. Everything was top-notch to the point where I feel like this place deserves a Michelin star. I was done with one plate. The servers came & gave me a new one, water was always filled no matter when I looked at it. I definitely can't wait to see this place grow into an iconic location in Montreal.
