La Squadra - Restaurant Cuisine Italienne

The service was low, and the beverages didn't taste the same, even orders are the same

I had an appetizer, a main meal + a dessert and It was just enough to not feel hungry. If you only take a main meal, it won't be enough.

Service was ok, But the place was loud.

Food was good, although.

An unforgettable experience – beyond excellent!

We had the immense pleasure of celebrating our wedding at La Squadra, and it was truly a dream come true. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with warmth and professionalism. The owner, Martin, personally took care of us, and his dedication made all the difference.

The food was absolutely exquisite — every dish was prepared with extraordinary attention to flavor and presentation. Martin worked with us to design a custom menu that was not only affordable but of remarkable quality. Our guests are still talking about how delicious everything was!

We were also graciously offered complimentary champagne, a refined and thoughtful gesture that added a celebratory sparkle to the evening.

The service was impeccable from start to finish, and we never felt rushed — we were allowed to stay as long as we wanted, which made the night feel truly special and relaxed.

The venue itself is cozy and beautifully maintained, with ample free parking available — a huge plus for all our guests.

If you're planning a special event, or simply want an outstanding dining experience, we wholeheartedly recommend La Squadra. Martin and his team will go above and beyond to make your occasion unforgettable. This restaurant deserves the highest praise!

La Squadra is a nice Italian place with a contemporary vibe. The food is fresh and well executed.

Showed up on Valentines for lunch. Had other things going on in the early afternoon so made a reservation at 2pm. When we showed up they asked us why we had a reservation at this time because the kitchen is closed at 2pm. We left then checked our reservation again and saw nothing on it that said their hours, as well as if you could make a new reservation at 2pm and you could! If you’re restaurant closed at 2pm then you should NOT be taking reservations for 2pm - 3pm. That needs to be changed immediately! Ruined our Valentine’s Day, thanks.

We really enjoyed our dinner at La Squadra.
We were offered the Valentine's menu with a 4 course meal and it was very good. Limited choices but what we took was very good, and the service was exceptional!!

An authentic Italian experience. The spaghetti carbonara was perfect, with good wine choices to choose from.

i would rate the food here as good. however, service could be a little better. we were seated at such a small table that we had to ask the waiter to take things away.

can use a better layout and tables.

the fish was good

Went with friends to what appeared to be a nice upscale Italian restaurant. While the atmosphere was quite nice, the other components of a good restaurant experience were severely lacking.

The manager on staff was rude, interrupting me mid sentence when asked for a possible substitution and making passive-aggressive remarks when a guest dropped an empty plate. The waitress, while new, was very kind.

The food was by far the worst of any restaurant I’ve been to at this price range. The risotto I was served had no seasoning whatsoever, it tasted of rice pudding without any saltiness or richness of the “Parmesan” it was supposed to contain. The quail that accompanied it was drier than the Turkey in National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation. My partner’s Cannelloni (just the 1 for the high price) looked like it was born and raised under a heat lamp. The only thing meriting a star was the arancini which were tasty and well seasoned. 200+$ later I am severely unimpressed. I won’t be returning. Were it not for my guests and their good company, I’d have left and refused to pay for the food.

We had a great time and we even had the privilege of being served by the gm Francis. Amazing experience ⭐⭐⭐ ⭐⭐

Perfectly tender, the veal marsala escalope was almost cut with a fork and the chicken parmigiana was just as succulent. Both outgoing and very friendly, Annie-Pier provided service beyond our expectations. Very satisfied with our meal.

It was a great experience that we had on Tuesday evening. A wow not to be missed if you go to Gatineau!

Good ambiance for a date, good service at the tables, but deceiving plating.

This is imitation cuisine. An assembly line for refrigerated and/or canned ingredients. The cool focaccia had the aromas of an overfilled refrigerator, the sauce was plain and even the parmesan was not adding the expected saltiness to the dish. It would be an insult to anyone able to recognize a freshly cooked meal from a rewarmed left over. Both me and my significant other spent a torturous 30 min in the bathroom , in pain and purging, within a few hours after consumption of their food. We will never go back there.
