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

La Spada is an absolute gem.
We had the most incredible experience from start to finish, thanks especially to Chanelle - truly one of the best bartenders & servers we've ever had. Her energy, attention, & creativity made the night unforgettable. The drinks she crafted were mind?blowing.
& the food… wow. The homemade pappardelle was on another level - rich, fresh, & easily one of the best pasta dishes I've had anywhere. Every bite felt like a little trip to Italy.
If you're looking for amazing Italian food, exceptional service, & a warm, welcoming atmosphere, La Spada is a must. We can't wait to go back.
An absolute gem! The service is incredible, our waiter frank was super sweet, attentive & the front of house is so on top of their game, always filling your drinks, cleaning up, getting you what you need. The food was incredible & the decor & holiday touches felt so homey. Will absolutely be back!
I had dinner last night at this spot.
Where to start!! It was beyond my expectations.
The food was excellent, the décor was fancy & elegant, & the waiters were dressed in a Gatsby vibe (nothing vulgar).
The service was excellent. It was my friend's birthday - they offered a dessert, & they even took the time to prepare a special cocktail & offered it to us!
I met the manager; very nice & friendly.
I didn't feel the urge to consume more food or drinks, unlike other places in Montreal.
Definitely a restaurant to go back to again & again.
The food was good, the vibe was fun. However the pacing of the meal was unfortunate - we waited a while for our order to be taken & for our drinks to come, then as soon as we ordered they brought the appetizer & the meal at the same time. Luckily the food was yummy. The place is very loud & the music is a bit cliché but the overall vibe is lovely & fun.
Our night was ruined by awful service from start to finish. We got appetizers before our drinks even arrived, which was just the beginning of a frustrating evening. The waitress started off okay but quickly became rude & inattentive. She interrupted our conversation abruptly, demanding to know if we wanted one bill or three-what if we wanted another drink? No consideration at all.
To make things worse, with only three tables left in the entire restaurant, the'manager' had the nerve to come over & bluntly tell us they were closing. No apology, no effort to acknowledge that it was my friend's birthday-just pure disrespect & zero class.
The food was nothing special, & the whole experience felt rushed & dismissive. I'm done with this place. There are plenty of restaurants that actually know how to treat customers.
This place deserves all the stars it can get. The food was incredible, very flavourful & well cooked, & the drinks are original & super tasty. The ambiance was energetic, & I loved the Italian music & vibe. The service was 10/10/10, from the moment we walked in until the end. The manager Luca was very accommodating to our big group, even though they were booked, he found us a cozy spot in the restaurant & insured we enjoyed our time.
100% recommended if you're looking for good food & good times
Amazing ambience & ever better food! I loved everything at Spada. They have done an amazing job at delivering high quality food & great service.
We loved the Duck Ragu (super deep flavour) & Fritto Misto (fried seafood, I could drink the aioli it came with). Funghi Gnocchi & Brussel sprouts were highlights as well.
The service was very attentive (so attentive that a server offered to take my gum I spat into my wrapper; I did not let them). The bartenders made amazing drinks & servers always made sure things were clean & taken care of.
They managed to pull off an incredibly authentic Italian American ambiance without it seeming tacky or overdone. I felt like I was at a Nonnàs house or in the Sopranos in the best way possible. Bonus points for the large pepper mill & old phone.
I recommend this to anyone looking for Italian food in Montreal, perfect for a date or a group of friends or just a nice dinner out.
Prices were very fair for the quality even though on the higher end.
