High-quality casual so that anybody who does come there has an amazing fun night with a journey of flavours. The restaurant itself is designed very well with the very casual type of nighttime dining where there is a bar there are multiple areas where you can see the kitchen from, overall the photos & painting all around the restaurant just give it a more cosy & vibe. With having that fine dining feel. & the iconic photo on the outside just gives it everything that you need to know that this is a simple but amazing Italian restaurant. Going to the food, the dishes that we were given were all high-quality, & made with the upmost care for the best combination of flavours. I would definitely recommend the bone broth tortellini, which is just Out Of This World & in flavours, the Caesar salad was made with care, & was so good. The veal wrapped in prosciutto was amazing as well. Overall, the food here is definitely worth the price that it is being served at & I definitely will come back again to try other items off their menu. My overall experience with the service, & the people who were there was amazing, the waiters & the maître d' were very attentive. My hats off to the host Liam, who gave us the best experience we could ask for & shout out to to one of the owners, Scott, who explained how the flavours were being combined to equal what I was tasting. Everything was top-notch to the point where I feel like this place deserves a Michelin star. I was done with one plate. The servers came & gave me a new one, water was always filled no matter when I looked at it. I definitely can't wait to see this place grow into an iconic location in Montreal.View more
La Spada is a fantastic new addition to the dining scene. From the moment you walk in, the vibrant atmosphere & welcoming staff make you feel right at home. The owner Scott & waiters (especially Liam) are attentive & quick, ensuring a seamless dining experience. The food is simply exceptional. One of the highlights of my meal was the tortellini with bone broth. The rich, savory broth paired with the fresh bread on the side was an amazing combo that I can't stop thinking about. As someone who usually skips salads, I was surprised to find myself finishing the caesar salad, which was fresh & flavorful. The veal was the juiciest I've ever tasted - cooked to perfection. The pasta with mussels (forgot the French name) was also a standout, offering a perfect mix of quality ingredients & mouth watering flavours. La Spada is a must visit for anyone looking for an authentic & enjoyable Italian dining experience. I can't wait to return next time I'm in Montreal.View more
Excellent meal. The Vitello Santinbocca & the Ravioli Francese were standouts. I found the Amatriciana overly tomatoey but overall the meal was excellent & I'm eager to eat there again. Decor is amazing & the music/vibe was perfect.View more
