⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ La Spada is a true Montreal classic—warm, welcoming service, great atmosphere, and delicious Italian food made with care. Generous portions, rich flavors, and always a wonderful experience...best in the city!
Good service overpriced and was not impressed with the food
Amazing experience from food to service! Everything was absolutely perfect!
Man, I’ve been looking forward to finally checking out La Spada for a year now. I don’t get out to eat nearly as often as I’d like these days, so when we walked in, it hit different right away. Coatcheck, tablecloths, proper dim lighting that actually feels cozy instead of stuffy, attentive service without being over-the-top—hospitality done right. The decor’s fun and playful in this relaxed, homey way that’s elegant but totally unpretentious. And the playlist? Classic hits with a modern spin—think Boney M flowing into funky “Stayin’ Alive” covers. It kept the vibe light and enjoyable the whole night. We started with the green salad, and honestly, it blew me away. So light and fluffy, way beyond what I expected from a simple salad. They really nailed it. Then the fritto misto—crispy as hell from the first bite to the last, perfectly seasoned. No weak links there. The homemade charcuterie and focaccia was an absolute highlight for me: the cotechino sausage and coppa (two ways) were spot-on, rich and flavorful without being heavy. We also got the side of mushrooms in garlic cream sauce, which was killer—super creamy and garlicky. Only thing I wished for was some extra focaccia or bread to mop up every last drop of that sauce. Next time, I’m definitely asking. For mains, it’s all about that comforting Italian soul: we went with the braised duck ragù over pappardelle and the pork shoulder with polenta and gremolata. Knowing all the pastas are made in-house just makes it better. The flavors were so balanced—everything married perfectly, no dish felt one-note. Portions are seriously generous too, which makes sharing easy and fun. Desserts sealed the deal. They’ve got a pastry chef on site (which is rarer than it should be), and nothing fell short. The tiramisu was huge and classic, there was this playful take on Ferrero Rocher that was indulgent and playful in the best way, and then the cherry mascarpone cake—man, that one was my personal favorite. It left such a good, memorable finish to the whole evening. The experience was genuinely wonderful from start to finish. A huge thank you to Scott for creating such a special spot, to the chef and the pastry team for the incredible food, and to the entire service staff for making the night feel so welcoming and effortless. If you’re in Montréal and craving real, thoughtful Italian without the pretension, La Spada delivers. We left happy, full, and already talking about when we’re going back. Highly recommend.
Splendid experience as usual, super attentive servers and outstanding pasta and drinks. We were disappointed that the exquisite squash ravioli was no longer on the winter menu but the vodka rosé rigatoni made up for it. The dessert of the moment was also incredible; like a soft shell chewy pistachio volcano with a cake-stuffed meringue centre. We will be back very soon xo
Beautiful restaurant with attentive service. The food is delicious, from flavorful pastas to perfectly cooked chicken Parmesan. The Brussels sprouts are a must-try and the cocktails, especially the margaritas, are excellent. A wonderful spot for a fun and memorable night out.
Amazing food & amazing vibe. Cant wait to go back
Great cocktails and great food. Especially loved the chicken Marsala
Great restaurant for a work dinner. Service was absolutely impeccable, our waiter was amazing and made it a really enjoyable experience. As for the food, I’ve had better. The carbonara and vodka penne were mid, nothing special. The mushroom special and calamari were great though. For $75 per person, I would likely eat somewhere else 💜
