La Spada reçoit régulièrement des éloges pour son atmosphère chaleureuse et vivante ainsi que pour sa cuisine italienne authentique. De nombreux clients soulignent la qualité exceptionnelle de plats tels que le ragù de canard, les pâtes fraîches et la focaccia maison, tout en mettant en avant le service attentionné et professionnel de l'équipe. Bien que le restaurant soit souvent considéré comme une destination de choix pour les occasions spéciales et les rassemblements, certains clients ont fait part de préoccupations concernant le rythme du service durant les périodes d'affluence, le niveau sonore ou les préférences d'assaisonnement. Dans l'ensemble, la majorité des visiteurs décrivent une expérience mémorable, soulignant souvent l'implication personnelle du propriétaire et la capacité de l'établissement à créer un environnement accueillant et dynamique qui incite à revenir.
Shortly after posting my initial feedback, Scott, the owner, reached out directly. He was genuinely concerned about the experience we had. It is rare to see that level of care. He invited us back for a meal so we could experience La Spada as it was intended.
We returned on November 13, & this visit was a completely different story.
The service was exceptional. Our server was attentive, knowledgeable, & took the time to walk us through the specials & the origins of the dishes.
We ordered the Foccacia, Polpette, Casarecce alla Funghi, & the Agnolotti di Zucca e Ricotta.
The meal was outstanding. La Spada truly is the hidden gem people talk about.
The Funghi pasta was one of the best I have ever had. The balance between the sauce & the pasta was perfect. You could taste the depth of the mushrooms in every bite. Many restaurants serve Funghi pasta, but often the flavor disappears into the cream or the seasoning. Here, the mushroom remains the hero of the dish from start to finish.
The Agnolotti was another standout. Creamy, rich, & perfectly al dente. The subtle crunch of hazelnut added a layer of texture & flavor that tied the dish together beautifully.
The Polpette was the star of the night. Juicy, tender, & served in a generous amount of sauce. Simple ingredients, elevated execution. It was incredible.
The Foccacia was very good, although overshadowed slightly by how exceptional the other dishes were.
Thank you to Scott for inviting us back & showing us what La Spada represents. An elevated Italian culinary experience tucked away in Saint Henri.
We will definitely be returning to try more of the pasta lineup.
Visited on Wednesday, October 29. I had high expectations after hearing incredible things & seeing glowing reviews online.
The evening started strong. The hostess was warm & welcoming, & we were seated quickly. The space itself is breathtaking. Elegant, sophisticated, & thoughtfully designed, La Spada feels like a hidden gem the moment you walk in.
Unfortunately, the service & food did not live up to the setting.
We ordered the Pappardelle Ragù d'Anatra, Carbonara Special, & the Arancini Specials. Our friends chose the Caesar Salad & Radiatori alla Vodka.
The servers were kind, but the execution needs refinement. One of our appetizers was missed, & when it finally arrived, the plate was dropped onto the table, splattering cheese onto my pants. They apologized & cleaned up quickly, but the experience set the tone for the rest of the meal.
When our mains arrived, the same server accidentally dropped half a block of grated Parmesan into my pasta. Thankfully, I like cheese, but it added to an already shaky service experience.
As for the food:
The Carbonara Special was nearly inedible, overwhelmingly salty to the point where even water would not have helped balance it.
The Arancini were excellent, crisp, flavorful, & well-seasoned.
The Pappardelle Ragù d'Anatra was also very good. Tender duck & rich flavor brought that dish together beautifully.
The Radiatori alla Vodka & Caesar Salad were fine, but unremarkable.
Overall, La Spada delivers a gorgeous ambiance but fails where it truly counts, which is consistency, flavor, & service. At this price point, expectations are naturally higher, & unfortunately, the experience did not meet them.
It is a shame, because the space & potential are there. But after this visit, I highly recommend everyone to avoid. You can easily find better Italian food with better service elsewhere.
Absolutely loved my experience at La Spada! The food was authentic & full of flavour - every dish tasted freshly made with high-quality ingredients. The ambiance is warm, inviting, & perfect for a cozy dinner or special occasion. The highlight of the evening was definitely the tiramisu - hands down the best I've ever had! Light, creamy, & perfectly balanced. Highly recommend La Spada for anyone looking for genuine Italian cuisine & a relaxing atmosphere.
I absolutely loved La Spada. I had an amazing dining experience at this charming Italian restaurant. The service was top-notch, the ambiance was warm & inviting, & the food was spectacular. The scallop crudo was incredible, & the ravioli was absolutely delicious. Highly recommend

La spada hosted my Babyshower & DELIVERED! It was everything I wanted & more. Food & staff were fantastic, planning was pretty seamless, & they super flexible with their solutions/our demands. Highly recommend. 10/10.
Great family dinner at La Spada. They were able to accommodate 9 of us on Friday night of a long weekend at a nice round table. The food was excellent as was the service. The lobster arancini balls were wonderful! Highly recommended!
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!!
