I cannot recommend this restaurant enough. The food, the atmosphere, the service, the choice of music, the quality & taste of every single dish. For sure one of my favourite restaurants in Montreal after one visit. Will be back multiple times.View more
Food, staff & vibes were excellent ! Focaccia & broccolini are a must try. Also any pasta won't be a disappointment !!View more

One of my new favorite Italian restaurants. We've been back 2 times & loved it both times. They're menu changes here & there but the squid dishes are always fire. The Caesar salad is amazing too!View more
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.View more

Best modern Italian food you can find in Montreal. Impeccable service & a great cocktail list too. You can't go wrong with the menu. Order anything & you will be blown away. Liam is the goat. My group of 5 had so much fun. The staff here know what they're doing & it shows. Can't wait to come backView more
LOVED it! From the service to the vibe to the amazing food & wine, you can't go wrong at La Spada. Our waiter was amazing, & super helpful, as was the rest of the staff. The red wine from Montepulciano made me temporarily forget about the gloomy weather outside & everything from the appetizers (burrata on micro greens & eggplants as well as arancini stuffed with truffle rizzoto) to the dessert (Ferrero Rocher cake) was absolutely delicious.View more
We had a team dinner here on Friday & had such a fantastic experience! There was a small mix-up with our guest numbers when we arrived, but the staff were so kind & quick to sort everything out-they really went above & beyond. The food was absolutely incredible (special shoutout to the carbonara-it was next level!), & the atmosphere made for a really fun night. We had such a great time & would 100% recommend this spot. We'll definitely be back!View more

Probably the best spot in Montreal right now.View more
I unfortunately had a terrible experience at this restaurant. Never have I been treated so disgracefully. They told us to leave after 1:45 minutes because they had mismanaged their reservations for the evening. It was ok, we just wanted to finish our glass of wine. The waiter agreed. But somehow the hostess felt the need to come to our table again, two minutes later, to tell us to leave immediately. It made us all terribly uncomfortable & ruined the entire evening. This is simply not a way to treat patrons who just spent nearly 500$ in your establishment.
The service feels like home, this place is amazing & the food is always incredible. Scott the owner is also an amazing host & makes you feel like you are part of the family. 10/10 would recommend.View more
Une expérience culinaire exceptionnelle du début à la fin. L'accueil est chaleureux, le service attentionné & irréprochable. Chaque plat est un véritable régal, aussi bien pour les yeux que pour les papilles. Les saveurs sont parfaitement équilibrées, les produits frais & de qualité. Une adresse incontournable que je recommande sans hésitation.View more
We were supposed to go to another restaurant for our anniversary, but decided to pop in as this restaurant is closer to our place & the hostess was kind enough to accommodate our unexpected arrival. Right when you walk in, you notice the ambiance is spot on - never been to Rome specifically but everything felt right from decor to the menu. Mood was also amplified by the amazing Dean Martin classics they were playing.
Food was delicious, you can't come here expecting to be blown away with a culinary experience. Its a homey eatery that serves simple Roman classics, executed very well. The vitello saltimbocca was the highlight, reading some reviews saying its salty - not sure what they expected with a dish wrapped in prosciutto. The salt was nicely balanced with a squeeze of lemon & the buttery wine sauce they served it with, I cleaned the bone despite being full. Pasta was perfectly cooked & portions were generous. I thought the price of the pasta was high at first glance but the portion you get is certainly worth it.
We had the pleasure of being served by Liam who was attentive but for the most part let us enjoy our dinner (the way it should be). Someone, who I believe was the owner, came over to check in on us - its clear that these people care about their clients & the food they serve. I have very high standards overall, but with Montreal dining you get what you give, if you're an unreasonable & entitled person you will never truly enjoy a restaurant. The lower reviews I read seemed unjustified from my experience; disgruntled individuals who complain no matter what or come with lots of entitlement & very little understanding.
Thank you La Spada!View more
Great experience at La Spada! The food was great, the ambience was pleasant & the service was perfect! Would definitely recommend itView more
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.View more
