Went with wife & friends & family visiting from France The decor & ambiance is nice. As it's on notre dame parking will be a bit an issue but you can find few spots inside. We shared few appetizers: - burrata insalate - polpo alla griglia: nice grilled octopus on chickpeas & capers - Fritto misto: a mix of fried calamari shrimps cod & veggies - Caesar salad: they put the bacon in a cup & not mixed so it was easy to put away. - tortellini in brodo: cheese tortellini & they pour chicken broth on it. Delicious The main meal we tried the : - Gnocchi funghi & tortellini awesome & must try Didn't try dessert but next time hopefullyView more
Absolutely unbelievable experience, down to the smallest detail. The music felt cinematic, the decor was impeccable, the food was exquisite & dreamy with perfect portion sizes, & the staff made you feel at home. A new favourite which we hope to return to for years to come!View more
Just opened about 1-month ago but this place already feels like it's been here for years. The staff were super friendly, attentive, & well versed with the menu & wine selections. Our waitress was Absolutely fantastic. Her food recommendations were perfect & the wine pairing was spot on with our preferences. We will definitely be back. My only comment was that the music was a little too loud. One notch lower would have been perfect cause you want a good vibe musically but you don't want to shout all night across your table.View more
Bring out the famiglia, this place is a dream of a spot, & not just because it's got a slick negroni bar to greet you when you come through the front door.View more
Food was amazing! Highly recommend the ragu! Service was a little slow, but they were sooooo busy so we didn't mind.View more
Food is nothing short of exquisite, with rich flavours & impeccable presentation. ( generous selection from from mozzarella de Buffalo apps , to incredible steak , or gnocchi in delicious sauce ... all amazing ) The ambiance is mesmerizing, creating a perfect blend of sophistication & comfort. From the moment I walked in, I felt an overwhelming sense of hospitality & warmth. Without a doubt, Five stars.View more
La Spada checks a lot of boxes. Very accommodating service, great vibes (for groups or dates), food is well thought out, & portion sizes are generous. A great addition to the neighbourhood & I strongly recommend you give it a try.View more
The service & food were great! Will definitely be back soon.View more
What can I say! This is my new favorite resto. Tara (hostess) greeted us with a smile & a great table. Scott (owner) set us up with the best meal I have had in months. Already booked a table for next week! Cannot wait.View more
Great vibe in the restaurant, the staff were attentive & courteous. Owner Scott was present & this is great for an owner to do ! Restaurant is very chic & has a great ambiance like being in a Roman restaurant. Antipasto Misto Fritta could use some more flavour as it lacked flavour & was soggy. Cacio Pepe was delicious!View more

I cannot recommend La Spada enough! Everything we ate was unbelievable. They have an expertly crafted menu with truly something for everyone. The service was impeccable, the restaurant had an amazing vibe & such a friendly, welcoming & charming ambience. Perfect for early family dinners with the kids, dinner with friends or a date night. A really beautiful new spot that will become a go-to!View more
As if Bistro Amerigo were not amazing enough, they hit an absolute home run with La Spada, this newly-opened Roman paradise in St. Henri. I felt like I had been both transported to Rome & that I was right at home from the second I walked in until the second I left. The personnel were welcoming, knowledgeable, & experts at their craft, & in engaging with the clientele, from the hosts to the servers to the kitchen staff to the management. The atmosphere is comfortable & elegant at the same time, without an ounce of pretense. The wine list includes glasses & bottles, the cocktails are classic yet creative, & the food is on a positively superior level. Not many restaurants can pull off cacio e pepe (see photos) as it must be prepared & served completely fresh; La Spada does it flawlessly. The panna cotta is light & indulgent at the same time, & the focaccia is crisp outside (the flaky salt puts it over the top) & pillowy & almost creamy inside. I am looking forward to going back (many, many times).View more
Amazing new restaurant in St Henri! We went with a big group a couple nights after opening & were blown away by the food, the vibe & the service. Highly recommend the veal chops, the raviolis!View more
We had the pleasure of dining here within the first days of opening, & every aspect of the meal quickly convinced us that we want to be regulars. It was like Mario Lemieux scoring his first NHL goal on his first shift in the Bigs. Welcome to The Show, this place has got IT.View more
