Love the fact that everything can be shared family style. Free pouring of wine at the table, cold refreshing cocktails. The owner Scott pops into tables to see how everyone is doing. The music isn't too loud & the servers are smiling. Love starting off with some house made bread, moving to a Caesar salad, & then a couple of mains. I've done the specials before & they are indeed special. Hot & full of flavour. Love the valet parking on the weekend. Thanks for bringing some life & love to Notre Dame! Always love going back.
Very nice food & friendly staff:) Hocine & Chanelle were especially helpful in their recommendations both for food & drinks. I had a great night!
The atmosphere is approachable but high end without the ridiculous prices. Our server Lucia & bartender Chanelle made our night, they even introduced us to the owner, Scott. The food was amazing, & the service matched it.
Food was yum, although charging 4$ for a small dish of oil & vinegar is criminal. Service was kind if not a little slow. Interior is very nicely designed, coat check which I love. Would go again & try different things.
Perfection in Montreal!
La Spada is easily one of the best dining experiences I've had in the city. The food is incredibly fresh & flavorful, the atmosphere is stylish yet cozy, & the service is top-notch. Every bite was better than the last.
If you're in Montreal, don't miss this spot-it's an absolute 10/10!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
La Spada is a true Montreal classic-warm, welcoming service, great atmosphere, & delicious Italian food made with care. Generous portions, rich flavors, & always a wonderful experience...best in the city!
Mon conjoint & moi avons visités le restaurant pour la première fois & avons été déçus de notre expérience.
Je tiens par contre à remercier notre serveur pour son excellent service & à souligner l'ambiance chaleureuse du restaurant. La première déception est survenue lorsque nous avons commandée la burrata qui est arrivée sans tomate ni basilic contrairement à l'assiette que nous avions vu en ligne. Le pain n'était pas inclus & nous l'avons pris en extra. La burrata était simplement déposée sur un assortiment de viandes froides & couverte d'huile d'olive. Nous aurions aimé une entrée plus relevé avec des légumes ou une salade/ une vinaigrette. Nous avons également pris l'assortiment de fruits de mer frits & leurs deux sauces qui étaient excellentes. La panure était légère & la cuisson parfaite. En plat mon conjoint a prit les pâtes avec guanciale & celles-ci étaient beaucoup trop salées, il n'a pas terminé son assiette. En plat j'ai opté pour le spécial du jour ( des pâtes à la bisque de homard )& celles-ci m'ont aussi déçu par leur manque de saveurs. La portion de homard était généreuse mais la sauce manquait d'un petit je ne sais quoi.
Après avoir consulter le menu en ligne je présume qu'il a récemment été changé, car la carte présentée sur leur site n'est pas la même que celle que nous avons eu au restaurant.
Amazing experience from food to service! Everything was absolutely perfect!
Man, I've been looking forward to finally checking out La Spada for a year now. I don't get out to eat nearly as often as I'd like these days, so when we walked in, it hit different right away. Coatcheck, tablecloths, proper dim lighting that actually feels cozy instead of stuffy, attentive service without being over-the-top-hospitality done right. The decor's fun & playful in this relaxed, homey way that's elegant but totally unpretentious. & the playlist? Classic hits with a modern spin-think Boney M flowing into funky'Stayin' Alive' covers. It kept the vibe light & enjoyable the whole night.
We started with the green salad, & honestly, it blew me away. So light & fluffy, way beyond what I expected from a simple salad. They really nailed it. Then the fritto misto-crispy as hell from the first bite to the last, perfectly seasoned. No weak links there.
The homemade charcuterie & focaccia was an absolute highlight for me: the cotechino sausage & coppa (two ways) were spot-on, rich & flavorful without being heavy. We also got the side of mushrooms in garlic cream sauce, which was killer-super creamy & garlicky. Only thing I wished for was some extra focaccia or bread to mop up every last drop of that sauce. Next time, I'm definitely asking.
For mains, it's all about that comforting Italian soul: we went with the braised duck ragù over pappardelle & the pork shoulder with polenta & gremolata. Knowing all the pastas are made in-house just makes it better. The flavors were so balanced-everything married perfectly, no dish felt one-note. Portions are seriously generous too, which makes sharing easy & fun.
Desserts sealed the deal. They've got a pastry chef on site (which is rarer than it should be), & nothing fell short. The tiramisu was huge & classic, there was this playful take on Ferrero Rocher that was indulgent & playful in the best way, & then the cherry mascarpone cake-man, that one was my personal favorite. It left such a good, memorable finish to the whole evening.
The experience was genuinely wonderful from start to finish. A huge thank you to Scott for creating such a special spot, to the chef & the pastry team for the incredible food, & to the entire service staff for making the night feel so welcoming & effortless. If you're in Montréal & craving real, thoughtful Italian without the pretension, La Spada delivers. We left happy, full, & already talking about when we're going back. Highly recommend.
