The atmosphere is warm & elegant, enhanced by vintage chandeliers & tasteful decor. The open kitchen adds vibrancy to the space, & the cozy yet refined setup makes it perfect for special occasions. Despite being packed on New Year's Eve, the staff remained attentive, friendly, & highly professional. Service was fairly fast, & the evening flowed seamlessly. The dishes were beautifully presented & lived up to expectations. While the food was excellent, the price point is undeniably steep. With a $250 bill for two (without alcohol), a standard pasta starts at $40, & the lobster spaghetti was $70. The quality is there, but it might not justify the cost for everyone. La Spada excels in ambiance, service, & food quality. It's a fantastic choice for a luxurious night out, but be prepared for premium pricing. If you're looking to splurge on an unforgettable Italian meal, this is the place.View more
Had a really bad experience - very uncomfortable seat over the radiator & staff unable/reluctant to reseat us until way past the middle of the meal… food was sub-par at best & service elusive (to avoid my complaints, no doubt), although in fairness the wine was excellent & the sommelier much nicer. The owner made it clear we were not welcome back after I selected the no tip option (why have it if you don't mean it?), but it won't be difficult to oblige…
We had an unforgettable time here, likely one of the best dining experiences we've ever had! The staff truly made the experience special. Our waiter was friendly, & attentive. I highly recommend coming here. With its inviting atmosphere, exceptional service, & delicious food, it's an experience you won't want to miss!View more
Everything was on point, the food was delicious & the place was really nicely decorated. The playlist was also really well organized & fitted so well with the atmosphere. The sad point is we only had a 2 hour period for our reservation, but that's a normal thing in such restaurants. We would have stayed & drank a little longer to fully enjoy the delicious cocktails, wines & what about the coffee ! (Marzocco spotted!) I'll hit that spot again for sure. 10/10View more

One of the city best restaurants Highly recommend !View more
Ne vaut pas le détour. Plats très chers pour portions réduites & goûts ordinaires. Pour le quartier d'habitude accessible & le manque d'originalité des plats je déconseille. Je fais de meilleurs plats de pâtes à la maison avec HelloFresh ...View more

La Spada is an absolute gem in Montreal! From the moment I walked in, the warm & inviting ambiance set the tone for a fantastic dining experience. The staff were attentive, knowledgeable, & genuinely passionate about the menu, offering great recommendations tailored to my preferences. The food? Simply outstanding. Every dish was a perfect balance of flavor, presentation, & authenticity. The fresh, house-made pasta was the highlight-cooked to perfection with rich, flavorful sauces that transported me straight to Italy. Their wine selection was equally impressive, with options that paired beautifully with every course. What truly sets La Spada apart is the attention to detail. From the quality of the ingredients to the beautifully plated desserts, everything exudes care & excellence. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or simply indulging in a great meal, La Spada is the place to go. I can't wait to return & explore more of their menu. Highly recommend!View more
Tout ce que nous avons essayé était succulent, le service était rapide & impeccable, prix un peu élevé, mais la qualité vient avec. C'était très occupé donc je conseille de prendre une réservation.View more
Great experience at La Spada. The service is excellent. The food is amazing. The ambiance is great! We tried the Focaccia paired with the Burrata which did not miss. The Octopus dish is likely the best I've ever had anywhere. The lamb chops are outrageously good. The pastas are high quality & authentic. I'm sure everything else on the menu is just as amazing. Will definitely be back. Solid 10/10.View more
