The food started strong with our smaller plates, but the pasta dishes were disappointing. Overall, what stuck with us is how rushed the service felt, which took away from the entire experience. There is far better in MTL for the price point.
Good food, good service & ambiance. We took the foccacia, bomba, ceasar salad & a pasta & it was perfect for 2 people
Possibly some of the best pasta & lamb chops I've ever had. The duck ragu was amazing & the lamb melts in your mouth. Also got the cacio e peppe brussel sprouts & they were quite good.
The service was a bit scattered as multiple people came to our table asking the same questions (do you want a to-go box, do you want a refill, etc.) without actually following up & the restaurant is quite loud, but the decor remains beautiful & the food is very worth it. Can't wait to come back & try out other things on the menu.
I really wanted to love it but…. How could I? The staff was not properly trained: the guy at the door was borderline arrogant, the girl serving us was nice but couldn't recommend nor explain the menu or suggest « the house bests ». The food was cold, the pasta was tasteless & so « al denté » that it felt uncooked & really overpriced. Like 32$ for what I would have given max 10-15$? The «boulettes de viande » were again tasteless & cold (& I usually crave them)…
I really love Italian food & I was looking forward to a new favorite spot… but it needs some improvements for me to come back again. Special mention to the decor that was nice & on trend.
The food was so tasty & the pasta was very fresh! The service was also impeccable, one of the best Italian meals I had in my life. 10/10, such a great addition for Saint-Henri food scene. We will definitely be back!
Best service we've had in a while!! Many restaurants in Montreal lack good service not realizing how important it is for people to come back. This said, I will most definitely be coming back to La Spada. Food was beyond our expectations, we had the special porchetta & it was amazing. Pasta was 10/10, & the octopus was super tender.
On top of all this, the restaurant was busy & there was a great vibe. Totally recommend this spot!
Pasta dishes are delicious & their focaccia bread is very good, one of the best I've tasted in the city. Tiramisu could've been better in terms of richness & creaminess.
Nice restaurant & ambiance, great service! Good menu with lots of options. Octopus was good, not the best, but pleasant dish to share, good portion. Tortellini in brodo was ok. Broccolini was burned, tasted like camping cooking. Filet mignon was too expensive for what it was. Also came already cut in slices. Ragu pappardelle had a very good taste, portion was generous, unfortunately the pasta were way overcooked. Dessert was amazing!
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.
Great atmosphere, decent service, mediocre food. The appetizers where okay, the branzino was nice, the lamb was wonderful but the pasta was terrible. Out of 4 pasta dishes tried, 1 was okay. The tortellini was the worst. Tuna tartare was not good, the tagliatelle was really really not good, dry papery shredded pork. Oh & the desserts, you could of knocked out someone with the cheesecake it was so dense & hard, & a grainy tiramisu followed…. Maybe they should outsource their desserts if no one knows how to make them in the kitchen…. Service was okay, but we had to serve ourselves wine a few times, asked for water a few times, at some point they were bringing food but half the table had no plates & no one had utensils….at the end of the night the waiter pushed back on us buying another bottle of wine because he said there was only a half hour left before closure, I've never ever known of a restaurant not wanting to make a wine sale (to be noted it was a sat night, the resto was still half full, & we were 8ppl so that's a glass each)! Overall it was okay but I won't be going back.
What an incredible experience with my father last night at Spada from start to finish! Immaculate atmosphere topped with fantastic service. Scott was a wonderful host, Lio & Hamza took amazing care of us! The kitchen creates magic as all the dishes we had were severely addictive & delicious. The focaccia is to die for, & the pasta dishes we had were perfectly executed. Big shout out to Chef D as well! Merci bcp & see you soon ! ❤️
What an incredible night at La Spada, once again ! The food is delicious & the waiters there gave us an amazing experience on both nights we had dinner. A big thank you to Hocine & we loved our sweet waiter Luana who gave such great advices & recommended those delicious lobster pastas. We'll come back for sure
My new favourite restaurant in st.henri. The atmosphere is incredible, such a cozy & eclectic vibe. The service was incredible, timing for food & cocktails were paced out well! My lobster pasta was the star of the show, this dish was generously packed with lobster & left the seafood lover in me very happy. I cannot wait to get back!
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.
La Spada is an absolute gem in Montreal! From the moment I walked in, the warm & inviting ambiance set the tone for a fantastic dining experience. The staff were attentive, knowledgeable, & genuinely passionate about the menu, offering great recommendations tailored to my preferences. The food? Simply outstanding. Every dish was a perfect balance of flavor, presentation, & authenticity. The fresh, house-made pasta was the highlight-cooked to perfection with rich, flavorful sauces that transported me straight to Italy. Their wine selection was equally impressive, with options that paired beautifully with every course. What truly sets La Spada apart is the attention to detail. From the quality of the ingredients to the beautifully plated desserts, everything exudes care & excellence. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or simply indulging in a great meal, La Spada is the place to go. I can't wait to return & explore more of their menu. Highly recommend!
Great experience at La Spada. The service is excellent. The food is amazing. The ambiance is great! We tried the Focaccia paired with the Burrata which did not miss. The Octopus dish is likely the best I've ever had anywhere. The lamb chops are outrageously good. The pastas are high quality & authentic. I'm sure everything else on the menu is just as amazing. Will definitely be back. Solid 10/10.
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've had the pleasure of dining at La Spada a handful of times now, & I'm always impressed. The atmosphere is great. Not too bright, not too loud, very cozy. The staff recognizes me & welcomes me back every time, which is such a great feeling. There's a great depth of flavor in every dish, from meats & veggies finished on a charcoal grill, to pasta made fresh in house, & sauces with subtle notes that leave you guessing. When you order, dont skip the greens. This place will make you love broccolini. La Spada takes itself seriously. Theres no artificial pretension here. A trattoria made by the Montreal food scene, for the Montreal food scene.
Brazino was wonderful. 2 servings of pasta a le vongole were tasteless.
Nice atmosphere & good dishes... I wouldn't say is the best pasta or Italian food I have tasted in Montréal... but is a very good place to come back for sure.
