Overall a mid experience. 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.
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.
