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.

My new favourite restaurant in st.henri. The atmosphere is incredible, such a cozy & eclectic vibe. The service was incredible, timing for food & cocktails were paced out well! My lobster pasta was the star of the show, this dish was generously packed with lobster & left the seafood lover in me very happy. I cannot wait to get back!

La Spada is a breath of fresh air in terms of Italian dining in Montreal. Great food, friendly service & a chill vibe that keeps people coming back. Went with a group of nine people right after Christmas & we all had a great experience! Highly recommend the tortellini en brodo, the polpo alla griglia, the carbonara & the filet mignon. For cocktails, try the negroni sour & the pepperoncini-tini. Thanks La Spada, will definitely be back soon!

La Spada is a true gem & a "slice of Italy" in what I call St. Henri, one of the best districts in Mtl. Welcome to my neighbourhood! The service was on point, food well crafted & creatively presented, the vibe is "fun". Montreal offers such a wide array of restaurants of all culinary backgrounds & we are clearly on the map. Of all the choices, I selected La Spada for my staff X-Mas dinner. I began with phone messages which were never replied to, then to emails. After 2 wks of persistent reaching out, I received one brief email reply: "I'll get back to you". 3 1/2 wks later, still no reply. Since we are nearing Christmas where most restaurants need to be reserved sooner than later, I was unable to wait on La Spada. I give a 5 star review for all else but unfortunately a huge fail on the administration. They should consider assistance to accommodate clientèle (which is what all restaurants depend on for business). Great for La Spada that they're busy but not so great for clients in search of planning accommodations.

I have been a handful of times to La Spada since their opening & it is now one of my favorite restaurants in the City & definitely my go-to Italian. The vibes & decor are immaculate, the service is always personable & the food is to die for. The prices are also very reasonable for the value of what they serve. I would like to add it is also quite vegetarian & pescetarian friendly. I can definitely see this place being the next big thing. Everybody I have introduced to this place were very impressed.

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!

This place just made my week. The level of attention to detail from the exceptional service to the fall down amazing food. Waiter selected a wine for us that we loved just off a few keywords. Huge portions of fresh authentic italien dishes. Went with a group & we didn't want to leave. Decor & vibe are on point. I hope to be back frequently ! Book now & wait a bit cause they're busy & rightly so.

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.
