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
음식이 전반적으로 짜지 않아서 좋았어요
Per essere stata la nostra prima fiorentina è stata a dir poco ottima! All'inizio eravamo incerti per la cottura della carne, invece siamo rimasti stupiti dalla cottura perfetta, dalla tenerezza e dal sapore. Un grazie al cameriere che ci ha saputi consigliare al meglio! Se dovessimo ripassare per Firenze, un salto è d'obbligo
