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

I really wanted to love it but…. How could I? The staff was not properly trained: the guy at the door was borderline arrogant, the girl serving us was nice but couldn't recommend nor explain the menu or suggest « the house bests ». The food was cold, the pasta was tasteless & so « al denté » that it felt uncooked & really overpriced. Like 32$ for what I would have given max 10-15$? The «boulettes de viande » were again tasteless & cold (& I usually crave them)…
I really love Italian food & I was looking forward to a new favorite spot… but it needs some improvements for me to come back again. Special mention to the decor that was nice & on trend.

Bon, voyons ... si vous cuisinez un tantinet, mieux vaut rester chez vous & préparer vous mêmes de bons plats Italiens. Tous les plats sont trops salés, baignent dans de l'huile de mauvaise qualité. Les calmars sont de consisence caoutchoux, la panure mouillée dans l'huile. Les pâtes carbonara collantes, salées sans rafinement.
Le service, moyen, incapable de nous renseigner sur les spécialités de la maison: y en a t-il?
Mauvais choix de restau, il y a beaucoup mieux à Montréal & dans la quartier.

'My recent experience here was incredibly disappointing. The food was not only cold but also bland. Nothing really stood out. The service was painfull! It would of been a good start knowing that we had a 2 hour timeline there before forcing us to leave. The manager Mike should get some'people' skills.
Spend your money elsewhere.View more

The food was so tasty & the pasta was very fresh! The service was also impeccable, one of the best Italian meals I had in my life. 10/10, such a great addition for Saint-Henri food scene. We will definitely be back!View more

Best service we've had in a while!! Many restaurants in Montreal lack good service not realizing how important it is for people to come back. This said, I will most definitely be coming back to La Spada. Food was beyond our expectations, we had the special porchetta & it was amazing. Pasta was 10/10, & the octopus was super tender.
On top of all this, the restaurant was busy & there was a great vibe. Totally recommend this spot!View more

As someone who was born & lived in Italy, I can confirm that La Spada is an authentic & exquisite Italian restaurant. From the menu, the condiment, the music (Italian classics), I feel home, but in the style & feel of a classic & trendy Montreal restaurant. The branzino I had last night was one of my top fish experience in a long time, absolute perfection.View more

Amazing ambience & ever better food! I loved everything at Spada. They have done an amazing job at delivering high quality food & great service.
We loved the Duck Ragu (super deep flavour) & Fritto Misto (fried seafood, I could drink the aioli it came with). Funghi Gnocchi & Brussel sprouts were highlights as well.
The service was very attentive (so attentive that a server offered to take my gum I spat into my wrapper; I did not let them). The bartenders made amazing drinks & servers always made sure things were clean & taken care of.
They managed to pull off an incredibly authentic Italian American ambiance without it seeming tacky or overdone. I felt like I was at a Nonnàs house or in the Sopranos in the best way possible. Bonus points for the large pepper mill & old phone.
I recommend this to anyone looking for Italian food in Montreal, perfect for a date or a group of friends or just a nice dinner out.
Prices were very fair for the quality even though on the higher end.View more

Un restaurant italien authentique au top ! Les pâtes maison sont délicieuses, surement les meilleures que j'ai mangé au Canada & peut-être même worldwide. Pas étonnant que cet endroit soit aussi populaire. Le service est irréprochable : le personnel est attentif, souriant & toujours de bons conseils. L'ambiance est unique, chaleureuse & si vous avez la chance de rencontrer Scotty, he runs it! Une adresse à ne pas manquer que ce soit pour un bon diner ou boire un verre.View more

What an incredible meal that was. I felt compelled to write a review for this beautiful, beautiful restaurant as the service was impeccable. My husband & I were celebrating an important event, & brought our 2 year-old son. We were met with a high-chair already in place, & the kindest waiter who brought him a small new hot wheel car to play with. I cannot remember our waiter's name, but I am sure if he reads this he will remember us. He, & all of his colleagues, were so sweet towards our son & their level of professionalism was remarkable. In some places, you can be met with a cold shoulder if you bring your toddler to a fancy place, but instead, he was treated like a little prince! Trust, this makes a parent's whole day. The restaurant itself is stunning, & our meal from start to finish was *chef's kiss*. We could not get enough. From the deliciously grilled octopus, to the exquisite branzino + carbonara, all the way to i zepole & espressos -- we did not want to leave (or stop eating).
Thank you La Spada for a beautiful experience. We will definitely be back with out-of-town guests & biggest congratulations on your fabulous restaurant. Tanti auguri!View more

Pasta dishes are delicious & their focaccia bread is very good, one of the best I've tasted in the city. Tiramisu could've been better in terms of richness & creaminess.View more

Nice restaurant & ambiance, great service! Good menu with lots of options. Octopus was good, not the best, but pleasant dish to share, good portion. Tortellini in brodo was ok. Broccolini was burned, tasted like camping cooking. Filet mignon was too expensive for what it was. Also came already cut in slices. Ragu pappardelle had a very good taste, portion was generous, unfortunately the pasta were way overcooked. Dessert was amazing!View more
