Despite mixed reviews regarding pricing and volume levels, the restaurant remains a popular destination for birthdays, dates, and social gatherings in Montreal, often noted for its welcoming energy and high-quality culinary offerings.
One of those rare times when you wouldn't change a thing. Maybe just the tiramisu.
The staff were exceptionally polished & attentive, often anticipating what we needed before we even had to ask. Service felt smooth & effortless throughout the evening.
The dry-aged steak is absolutely perfect. The pappardelle with duck ragù is better than you could even imagine.
The tiramisu was a tad dry, but it didn't spoil the evening.
Overall, a great experience
The best branzino I've ever had in my life. Tuna crudo was also excellent. Kale cesar salad was surprisingly 10/10. Trust me & get the fried artichokes. Service impeccable ! My new favourite spot
Warm, vibrant, & effortlessly elegant. The food feels honest & full of life, every dish balanced & memorable. Service is attentive without ever interrupting the moment. The kind of place where time slows down & you actually enjoy the evening.

This spot serves authentic Italian vibes from the food to the ambiance. Everything we had was excellent but the duck ragu pasta was the highlight. The Cacio e Pepe brussels sprouts were also a hit!
Had an amazing birthday dinner with great service from our waiter Frank. The food was delicious & I was pleasantly surprised by how lively this restaurant was!
Un menu italien excellent ?
N'hésitez plus venez essayer LA SPADA !
C'est un restaurant extraordinaire avec un service au rendez vous & des saveur qui nous rappellent l'Italie.
Un super choix !
I had such a great experience at La Spada. The food was honestly amazing, everything we tried was super flavorful & really well done. The portions were also decent, enough to leave you satisfied without feeling over the top.
What really made the night stand out though was the service. Our server, Frank, was incredible. He was funny, kind, & really knowledgeable about the menu. He made great recommendations & just had a super easygoing, relatable vibe that made the whole experience even better.
Overall, amazing food & even better service. I'd definitely go back.
Expérience assez décevante à la Spada. Une adresse qui se veut être l'un des meilleurs restaurants italiens de la ville… mais permettez-moi d'en douter.
Les mocktails étaient bons. La salade au poulpe, bonne. Le service, correct. La musique & l'ambiance générale, sympas.
La focaccia était bonne, mais manquait d'huile d'olive à mon goût & était froide !
Malheureusement, la pièce maîtresse de mon dîner fut catastrophique. J'ai commandé les pâtes funghi aux pleurotes, champignons & mascarpone. Quelle ne fut pas ma surprise lorsque j'ai reçu mon assiette… qui ressemblait vachement aux pâtes que je me fais les yeux à moitié fermés quand j'ai une petite faim à 2 h du matin. C'était sec comme le désert du Sahara. Où était le mascarpone ? Sans goût, sans épices… J'ai dû demander du poivre histoire de relever le tout, mais en vain. C'étaient les pâtes les plus fades que j'ai mangées de ma vie, & je pèse mes mots !
L'assiette était blanche, sans signe de vie. Je regrette de ne pas avoir pris de photo pour appuyer mes propos. Je suis encore sous le choc. Concernant les champignons & les pleurotes, c'était une réelle partie de cache-cache dans mon assiette. Je tiens à souligner que le marché Atwater n'est qu'à quelques pas du restaurant & offre une grande variété de champignons…
Je m'attendais à savourer une bonne assiette de pâtes… Quel dommage. Peut-être que le menu actuel devrait être revu, voire retiré !
Les desserts étaient bons, mais rien d'exceptionnel. Passez votre chemin si vous voulez manger un bon repas italien.
Je regrette amèrement cette expérience. Insatisfaite & mécontente, je n'y retournerai pas.
Louanna was an exceptional server & made the entire experience memorable. She was attentive without being overbearing, consistently checking in at the right moments & making sure everything was perfect. Her knowledge of the menu was impressive, & her recommendations were spot on.
What really stood out was her positive attitude she handled everything smoothly, even when it got busy, & always kept a smile on her face. It's clear she genuinely cares about providing great service.
I would absolutely come back again & hope to be served by Louanna. She truly elevated the whole dining experience.
