Bringing a slice of Rome to Montreal’s Saint-Henri, La Spada is a love letter to Italian cuisine and culture. With its richly adorned interior—plush banquettes, rococo candelabras, and a marble-topped bar dubbed “purgatory”—the restaurant transforms dining into an experience of theatrical elegance. Currently helmed by Scott Usheroff, this osteria combines the warmth of a neighbourhood gathering spot with the refinement of Roman fine dining.
The menu delivers timeless Italian dishes like cacio e pepe, vitello saltimbocca, and fried Roman-style suppli while also introducing inventive offerings such as butternut squash ravioli in brown butter sage sauce. Diners can tear into house-made focaccia, swirl squid ink linguine, and toast with classic aperitifs or curated Roman wines.
