A classic of Florentine cuisine, located right next to Santa Maria Novella, a stone's throw from the cathedral and chic via Tornabuoni. This restaurant is a landmark for Florentines, over 130 years old and renowned for its famous bistecca alla fiorentina on embers and meats on its famous spit. First-rate meat at a fair price, with the same quality and expertise as our other specialities. A historic venue where intimacy and romance are the order of the day, as is the friendliness of the staff.

Owner's Message
La Spada - Ristorante Rosticceria in Florence.
Giuseppe, Agostino, Claudio and Claudio are the four managers who dynamically run La Spada, a trattoria in the historic center of Florence, just a few meters from Santa Maria Novella and the Duomo.
The formula that has made La Spada such a success is simple: a well-cared-for rustic environment, quality products, authentic cuisine, spit-roasted meats cooked to perfection and, above all, something that's hard to find in Florence: excellent value for money.
The main course is the "Grande roosto Mixte à la broche", always served with roast potatoes and Florentine steak cooked on the grill, which give the meat a unique taste.
It's great to see the big rotisserie with the flame still alive, a rare tradition to find in Florence.
Members' reviews on LA SPADA
Les personnels sont plutôt speed, et je trouves qu’elles sont peu aimable.
Les plats sont servis sans garnitures, donc c’est à commander à part.
En reverche le tiramisu était délicieux !!!!!!
Antipasti - che ci sono piaciuti si ttanto che non siamo nemmeno riusciti a fotografarli - di ottima qualità e stagionatura.
Ribollita: tradizione messa in piatto e fatta nobile. Eccellente.
Sua Maestà (seppur senza filetto) la Fiorentina 1kg. Frollatura ottimale e cotta alla perfezione come solo in Toscana sanno fare.
Cantuccio e Vin Santo ovviamente non potevano mancare.
Ottima accoglienza, simpatia ed educazione.
Lo staff cordiale e disponibile.
Non mancherò - come promesso - di tornare a trovarli quando passerò nuovamente per Firenze.
Consigliato !! ????????️????
