I had an incredible dining experience at La Spada! From start to finish, everything exceeded my expectations. The food was absolutely amazing-every dish was full of flavor & expertly prepared. The atmosphere & vibe of the restaurant made for a truly enjoyable evening, with a perfect balance of elegance & comfort. The service was top-notch, with friendly & attentive staff who made sure every detail was perfect. Overall, it was an unforgettable experience, & I can't wait to return. Highly recommend
We had an amazing evening at La Spada. The food is incredible & the service we had was perfect! The pasta tastes authentic & it feels like you are in Italy.
I have been to Laspada twice now & the food has always been on point. My favourites so far are the generous fritto misto, the smokey rapini, the creamy tagliatelle con funghi & the airy foccacia. I also really recommend not skipping out on their original changing desserts. Overall, the food, the curated decor & the attentive staff make Laspada an "incontournable" establishment if you're in a mood for italian cuisine.
This place was popping on a Tuesday! Food & service were impeccable. I literally had a tear eating the lamb chops. Great selection of wines for all budgets. Lio the sommelier helped us choose the perfect bottle to go with our meal. The best spot to eat is at the bar with Liam. Will definitely be coming back.
Absolutely amazing. Had the pleasure of dining here on a work trip. Everything was delicious, ingredients are clearly super fresh, dishes are prepared with care.
Bien que la nourriture ait été délicieuse & vraiment à la hauteur de mes attentes, notre expérience a été ternie par un service à la clientèle assez décevant. Au moment de choisir notre dessert & une 2e bouteille de vin, notre serveuse a hésité de nous permettre de commander, par peur que nous allions dépassé notre temps alloué vu notre réservation au premier service. Nous avons donc eu besoin de nous dépêcher de terminer nos assiettes & nos verres de vin. À peine 3 minutes après l'heure de la fin de notre réservation, le gérant nous a pressé de quitter, car la serveuse nous avait demandé de ne pas terminer nos verres vu l'heure. La façon dont cela a été gérer faisait preuve d'un manque de politesse, de tact mais aussi d'un grand manque de flexibilité. Nous sommes des consommateurs respectueux, nous n'allions pas étirer le temps plus qu'il faut, nous demandions simplement de terminer nos 2 dernières gorgées de vin sans devoir les caler. Cela a vraiment gâcher notre expérience. J'espère que le restaurant pourra revoir sa politique/gestion des réservations, car la qualité de la cuisine mérite une bien meilleure gestion du service.
Cuisine très bonne & sommelière très sympathique mais de loin la pire expérience de service que j'ai vécue dans un restaurant. Nous nous sommes littéralement fait mettre à la porte par le gérant sans avoir le temps de finir notre vin & dessert car les prochains clients arrivaient. N'importe quel autre restaurant avec une limite de temps gère ça de manière courtoise mais pas la spada. Revoyez votre approche client.
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.
