We are a huge fan of Amerigo, & now we are a huge fan of la Spada. The food is elevated & thoughtful without being pretentious, with a focus on quality, delicious food. Seems you can't go wrong on what you order, so I'll leave that to you. The service stood out. We were truly WAITED on by the staff. Our waiter, Kevin, is exemplary. He was helpful, checked in frequently & thoughtful throughout ( providing cutlery based on what we ordered, remembered I didn't like sparkling water when offering me a non alcoholic beverage that wasn't on the menu) etc. we feel it's very hard to get good service, & this truly made the difference in our dining experience. Thank you for a wonderful experience, we can't wait to come back!
TLDR - don't leave your umbrella unattended but great food, generous portions & not so great hostess. We booked reservations for this restaurant a month in advance & were really looking forward to eating delicious food. For entrees, we got the suppli, focaccia, tortellini brodo & fried calamari. The tomato sauce tasted amazing. Portions were very generous too. For the main dishes, we had the beef ragu & ravioli. These dishes were all easy to share between a party of four. We finished the dinner with a strawberry shortcake which was light & sweet. We did have to remind our waiter about the dessert a couple times though. What soured the overall experience at the end was the interactions we had between the waiter & hostess - one of the waiters had offered to put my umbrella at the front entrance on a coat hanger. As we were leaving, I couldn't find my umbrella anywhere. We asked the hostess about it & she looked at us dumbfounded & asked our waiter where the umbrella was. They had a small back & forth & proceeded to ignore us. The hostess continued sitting people down & answering the phone while we stood at the front entrance for over ten minutes, waiting for an answer. We ended up asking help from another server & the hostess came back to us saying "what do you want me to do? just send us the bill". There was no apology or compensation offered whatsoever. We found the hostess to be very rude to us & left disappointed with how our night ended.
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.
