Great family dinner at La Spada. They were able to accommodate 9 of us on Friday night of a long weekend at a nice round table. The food was excellent as was the service. The lobster arancini balls were wonderful! Highly recommended!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, la Spada is 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. 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

J'ai eu la mauvaise idée de ne pas réserver avant d'aller à La Spada. Par chance, j'ai eu la chance d'avoir une place au bar & de me faire servir par Hocine. Barman incroyable & nourriture succulente. Merci!View more

This restaurant is nicely decorated & has a great atmosphere, although they could think of better music to play. The food unfortunately is overpriced for what it is. We enjoyed the branzino & the Brussels sprouts. The pasta was alright, but the portion was way too large for a primo. The tiramisu was really quite sad…
They seem to have issues with pacing of the food. When we had just received our appetizer, all our other courses were thrown at the table. Besides that these dishes didn't all fit on the small table at the same time & made it uncomfortable to eat, it's honestly just a big no go to serve mains at the same time as the primi…we felt rushed & most of the food was cold by the time we got to it.
We really wanted to love this restaurant but were disappointed in the overall experience provided.View more

The food here is truly incredible. The carbonara was comparable to the homemade carbonara I had in Rome. I've been craving it for weeks since I left. The service was also great!View more

La Spada is a beautiful Italian restaurant with phenomenal food, great decor & great service. Do yourself a favor & make sure to order the Focaccia (extra Bomba on the side is a must). They recently added a 20oz T-bone steak on the menu, & let me tell you, one of the best steaks I've ever had at a restaurant. Thank you Luca & team for a fantastic time, every time.View more

From the moment we walked in, we loved this place. The atmosphere feels very warm & welcoming.
We had the pleasure of being served by Luca, the manager of the restaurant. He is very knowledgeable about the various dishes they serve & he guided us on what to order based on our wine choice. The food was incredible, everything we ate was flavourful & well portioned. Highly recommend.View more

Amazing experience at La Spada! Beautifully decorated like a restaurant in the heart of Rome we got sharing platters for a table of 7 & they accommodated us at every step. Starting with a salty warm foccacia that went so well with the traditional tortellini soup. We had the arancini, broccolini, Brussels sprouts, vodka pasta, ragu pasta, 20oz steak & lamb chops. Everything was absolutely delectable, all served by a warm & knowledgeable Luca. Amazing culinary experience overall, highly recommend!!View more

This place deserves all the stars it can get. The food was incredible, very flavourful & well cooked, & the drinks are original & super tasty. The ambiance was energetic, & I loved the Italian music & vibe. The service was 10/10/10, from the moment we walked in until the end. The manager Luca was very accommodating to our big group, even though they were booked, he found us a cozy spot in the restaurant & insured we enjoyed our time.
100% recommended if you're looking for good food & good timesView more

Excellent restaurant. The place is really nice with friendly staff. The food was excellent. From the octopus, calamari, caesar salad, meatballs, pasta & the lamb. Everything was wonderful. Looking forward to be back soon.View more

The food was pretty good. Some hits but some weird misses. The frito misto & the pappardelle was incredible but 2/3 of the pastas (the vodka & the fusilli) were so bland I was questioning if they came from the same restaurant that just made the frito misto & the pappardelle I was raving about. The branzino was also incredible. The service was fine. Servers were nice but the pacing of the course was super slow. Slow enough to ask where the food was. Great scene & atmosphereView more

It has been difficult to find a restaurant since the pandemic that hasn't disappointed us for one reason or the other. Bravo La Spada for exciting the senses once again. From the moment you walk into the restaurant you are visually captured by the decor, then the aromas hit you & you start craving everything that walks past you. Smartly dressed waitstaff, clearly trained for the industry, jointly tend to you throughout your night. & then, the food!! I'll let the photos speak for themselves. Absolutely loved every bite that touched my tongue. Already looking forward to another visit to Montreal & another great experience at La Spada!!View more
