I'm Italian, trust me I know my sh*t : cette adresse est Incontournable! Louana's Service was impeccable, we walked in on some Andrea Bocelli « Con Te Partirò » & all the 4 course were amazing ! Highly recommended. I'm personally becoming an loyal customer starting today
This was great. Food was amazing, we followed recommendations from the waiter & it was great. Both the Pasta dish were amazing (beef ragu & butternut ravioli), full of flavour, pasta al dente. Great spot for a date night as well, as very nice atmosphere. The cocktails were also very nice (especially expresso martini) I would recommend.

When we lived in NDG, Amerigo was our go-to spot. After moving just a few streets away from La Spada, we had to give it a try, & it did not disappoint! The food & drinks are fantastic, & the staff is awesome. Good food & vibes, highly recommend!
As soon as we entered, we felt the warmth. The ambiance was amazing. We were seated by Chris & our server Laurent was excellent. She was engaging & so attentive as were the others who worked there. The food was amazing , the service was the best we have ever had. This restaurant was rocking!! Will definitely return & recommend to all my friends. Thank you for the best experience!! Lori Dulude

Spada is a wonderful new Italian restaurant with a beautifully designed decor & a warm, inviting ambiance. The staff were very nice & accommodating, providing excellent service throughout our meal. Highly recommend!
We went to La Spada for my daughter's birthday-she's a big fan of Italian cuisine. I didn't have any particular expectations going in, but we had an amazing experience. The food was outstanding-the best pasta I've ever had, especially the squash ravioli with sage butter, which was even better than in Italy! The Bresaola, octopus, braised beef pappardelle, Focaccia, & dessert were all divine. One of the owners, Scott, even took the time to come & greet us. The service was impeccable yet unpretentious, & the atmosphere was fantastic, even on a rainy Tuesday night. I highly recommend it! We didn't get to try the tortellini in broth, so we'll definitely have to go back. ;)

La Spada checks a lot of boxes. Very accommodating service, great vibes (for groups or dates), food is well thought out, & portion sizes are generous. A great addition to the neighbourhood & I strongly recommend you give it a try.
I cannot recommend La Spada enough! Everything we ate was unbelievable. They have an expertly crafted menu with truly something for everyone. The service was impeccable, the restaurant had an amazing vibe & such a friendly, welcoming & charming ambience. Perfect for early family dinners with the kids, dinner with friends or a date night. A really beautiful new spot that will become a go-to!
Amazing new restaurant in St Henri! We went with a big group a couple nights after opening & were blown away by the food, the vibe & the service. Highly recommend the veal chops, the raviolis!
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.
