Came here with some friends for dinner & it was nice! Food was good, I did find there was too much dressing on the ceasar salad, I Would recommend maybe asking the dressing on the side. The focaccia served with the buratta was extremely oily as well, when you ripped a piece apart oil would actually drip off it.
The two pastas were good, tartare was very good (my favourite item of the night), but the bread it was served with was a bit weird.
Overall a nice dinner, but definitely on the pricier side for relatively basic food.
Most of the pastas are around $34 + & not a big portion considering it's just pasta.. same thing for the ceasar, the portion was quite small. They do grate fresh Parmesan & pepper on the pasta which is a nice touch.
It has a nice ambiance inside, service was very good & staff was attentive to come & fill our water glasses & offer more drinks when they were empty. Restaurant was fairly lively & loud inside too! If you want a quiet spot it would not be here.
The restaurant was amazing, the people were so friendly, the food was amazing!!Alec the manager & his team were excellent. We had the best experience there. Our drinks were amazing, better than other places, The bar maid Chanel was so friendly explaining to us her little secret on her twist of the negroni. Our waitress Lio , was also great, she explained all the meals & how they prepare them. All in all it's definitely a place we would return to
La Spada checks every box-beautiful, vibrant interiors, a thoughtfully curated menu, & truly exceptional service.
Coming from NYC, it was refreshing to dine at a restaurant that encourages you to enjoy the evening at your own pace. The staff was patient, attentive, & genuinely warm, making us feel welcome from start to finish. The food wasn't rushed & every dish was executed with care. Even the drink recommendations were spot-on & complemented the meal perfectly.
Our favorites were the Supplì, Carciofi, & the pastas-the pork rigatoni, alla vodka, & the zucchini pesto spaghetti were all delicious.
Despite being packed & buzzing on a Friday night, La Spada made the entire experience feel seamless & special. & a bonus: the valet parking is a lifesaver.

This was easily the worst restaurant meal we have ever had. I take no pleasure in leaving bad review, but wow. The cocktails were nothing to brag home about, either (especially not for $20 a drink!). We both had the pasta of the week, which were $38/person for 3 stuffed shells with ricotta. The'sauce' it came with was essentially water with an extreme amount of salt. To top it off, it was served with almost raw, unseasoned radicchio that did not compliment the meal. The portion size was not remotely enough, either. I understand that for some of the plates, the idea is to take a few & share, but we are two small women who left this restaurant almost $150 lighter & still hungry. We overheard the table next to us sending the food back because of the salt level & poor seasoning, so we were clearly not the only disappointed customers. As for service, not once were our water glasses refilled in the 1.5hours we were there. I imagine this restaurant's hype is through social media & bought 5-star reviews.
Group of 6 friends. Food was amazing, but unfortunately the service was not (which is surprising given the amount of staff). Our glasses were empty most of the night, we were brought the wrong appetizer & offered to keep it but not comp'd for it, & then when we finally got to order our second round of drinks, our food got cold by the time the wine arrived.
My husband & I went to La Spada a couple of years ago when it first opened & liked it a lot, but hadnt been back since until this past weekend. It was such a great experience to revisit the restaurant- their food is even better than I remembered. We especially liked the pannacotta with olive oil & honeycomb (sooo good - sweet, salty, creamy, crunchy) & the octopus salad with potatoes (warm, a little smoky, octopus was perfectly cooked!). Their foccacia is also delicious & spongy. We thought that the crudo was a bit underseasoned, & personally I found the pasta to be a bit too fishy. But overall the food was great.
The drinks were also really good: we ordered two spritzes at the start of the meal (I had the Spada spritz & my husband had the more herbaceous one) & we ended the dinner with two amaros, selected by the bartender, which we both enjoyed.
From start to finish my experience for the first time at La Spada was top tier.
The ambiance was exactly what you want in a restaurant. It was trendy, high energy, welcoming, buzzing but not uncomfortably loud.
Great location with valet parking on a corner.
The service was impeccable
Highly knowledgeable wait staff. Friendly, attractive, smiling, & full of recommendations on what to drink & eat.
Now the food…
AMAZING!!!
I started with the Caesar, which if you judge a restaurant based on this salad like me, then you'd heavily approve
Then the carbonara which was delicious, creamy & rich in all the right ways
& shared a delicious med rare lobsters that was truly Devine!
Will I come back?
I want to live in the janitors closet & do the dishes everyday for free meals! 🤣
Definitely one of my favourite Italian restaurants
🙌🏼👌🏼🙏🏼🫶🏼❤?
Splendid experience as usual, super attentive servers & outstanding pasta & drinks. We were disappointed that the exquisite squash ravioli was no longer on the winter menu but the vodka rosé rigatoni made up for it. The dessert of the moment was also incredible; like a soft shell chewy pistachio volcano with a cake-stuffed meringue centre. We will be back very soon xo
