Overall nice ambiance & decor but the waiter was very pushy & we felt rushed. Rushed to order, rushed to eat, & rushed to pay & leave. Examples include coming to take the order within minutes of arrival & coming back quickly after we told him we hadn't looked at the menu. Another example is when he took unfinished appetizer plates while still eating. He then forgot to bring an appetizer which he later brought. After done eating mains he offered desserts & when we declined he said "well it's time for bills then". Minutes after ordering a 2nd bottle of wine, he explained we needed to leave within 30 minutes because they had another group coming. Food was decent. The green salad, suppli & calamari were great. The orecchiette alla stracciatella & the carbonara were cold. I know these plates aren't supposed be scorching because of the fresh cheese & egg yolks but it was too cold. The carbonara felt they added too much pasta water, thereby lacking creaminess & taste. Quality of the pasta was very good.
What an incredible restaurant ! You walk into a beautifully decorated space that is equally cozy. The service was impeccable & friendly ! Now the absolute best part is the food ! I had the ossobuco & he tuna tartare that were both delish!!! All the options were so good we all ended up sharing amongst us ! Seriously I would give 10 stars if I could !
La Spada delivers an upscale Italian dining experience with exceptional attention to detail. The atmosphere is warm & elegant, enhanced by vintage chandeliers & tasteful decor. The open kitchen adds vibrancy to the space, & the cozy yet refined setup makes it perfect for special occasions. Despite being packed on New Year's Eve, the staff remained attentive, friendly, & highly professional. Service was fairly fast, & the evening flowed seamlessly. The dishes were beautifully presented & lived up to expectations. While the food was excellent, the price point is undeniably steep. With a $250 bill for two (without alcohol), a standard pasta starts at $40, & the lobster spaghetti was $70. The quality is there, but it might not justify the cost for everyone. La Spada excels in ambiance, service, & food quality. It's a fantastic choice for a luxurious night out, but be prepared for premium pricing. If you're looking to splurge on an unforgettable Italian meal, this is the place.
Everything was on point, the food was delicious & the place was really nicely decorated. The playlist was also really well organized & fitted so well with the atmosphere. The sad point is we only had a 2 hour period for our reservation, but that's a normal thing in such restaurants. We would have stayed & drank a little longer to fully enjoy the delicious cocktails, wines & what about the coffee ! (Marzocco spotted!) I'll hit that spot again for sure. 10/10
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.
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.
Food. Ambiance. Service. All amazing! Great cocktails. Gluten free options! Nice wine selection & the plates are delicious & plentiful. Love the decor & vibes!
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.
Spada is a wonderful new Italian restaurant with a beautifully designed decor & a warm, inviting ambiance. The staff were very nice & accommodating, providing excellent service throughout our meal. Highly recommend!
First time here after hearing about this place through chef Steve. Went with wife & friends & family visiting from France The decor & ambiance is nice. As it's on notre dame parking will be a bit an issue but you can find few spots inside. We shared few appetizers: - burrata insalate - polpo alla griglia: nice grilled octopus on chickpeas & capers - Fritto misto: a mix of fried calamari shrimps cod & veggies - Caesar salad: they put the bacon in a cup & not mixed so it was easy to put away. - tortellini in brodo: cheese tortellini & they pour chicken broth on it. Delicious The main meal we tried the : - Gnocchi funghi & tortellini awesome & must try Didn't try dessert but next time hopefully
