Amazing experience at La Spada. I absolutely loved the atmosphere there, it felt like we were in Italy! The food was amazing & fresh, & we were lucky to be served by Luca, who gave us great recommendations & made sure our needs were met throughout the evening. Highly recommended!
From the moment we walked in, we loved this place. The atmosphere feels very warm & welcoming.
We had the pleasure of being served by Luca, the manager of the restaurant. He is very knowledgeable about the various dishes they serve & he guided us on what to order based on our wine choice. The food was incredible, everything we ate was flavourful & well portioned. Highly recommend.
Amazing experience at La Spada! Beautifully decorated like a restaurant in the heart of Rome we got sharing platters for a table of 7 & they accommodated us at every step. Starting with a salty warm foccacia that went so well with the traditional tortellini soup. We had the arancini, broccolini, Brussels sprouts, vodka pasta, ragu pasta, 20oz steak & lamb chops. Everything was absolutely delectable, all served by a warm & knowledgeable Luca. Amazing culinary experience overall, highly recommend!!

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
Excellent restaurant. The place is really nice with friendly staff. The food was excellent. From the octopus, calamari, caesar salad, meatballs, pasta & the lamb. Everything was wonderful. Looking forward to be back soon.
The food was pretty good. Some hits but some weird misses. The frito misto & the pappardelle was incredible but 2/3 of the pastas (the vodka & the fusilli) were so bland I was questioning if they came from the same restaurant that just made the frito misto & the pappardelle I was raving about. The branzino was also incredible. The service was fine. Servers were nice but the pacing of the course was super slow. Slow enough to ask where the food was. Great scene & atmosphere
It has been difficult to find a restaurant since the pandemic that hasn't disappointed us for one reason or the other. Bravo La Spada for exciting the senses once again. From the moment you walk into the restaurant you are visually captured by the decor, then the aromas hit you & you start craving everything that walks past you. Smartly dressed waitstaff, clearly trained for the industry, jointly tend to you throughout your night. & then, the food!! I'll let the photos speak for themselves. Absolutely loved every bite that touched my tongue. Already looking forward to another visit to Montreal & another great experience at La Spada!!
