In the heart of Florence, just a few steps from Santa Maria Novella, La Spada is a trattoria that has been delighting Florentine palates for over twenty years. The setting is rustic and welcoming, recently renovated while preserving the charm of traditional Tuscan eateries.

The winning formula is simple: quality cuisine, perfectly cooked meats, and a warm, family-style atmosphere. Chefs Giuseppe and Claudio serve classic Tuscan dishes such as ribollita alla fiorentina and coniglio alla cacciatora, but it’s the meats that truly stand out. The mixed spit-roasted meats and the bistecca alla fiorentina, grilled over oak and hornbeam wood, are the real stars of the menu.

Adding a touch of theatre to the experience is the open-view rotisserie — one of the few of its kind in Florence. Service, led by Agostino and Claudio, is warm and professional. For those who prefer to dine at home, a takeaway rotisserie is also available with entrance on Via del Moro 66r.

If you’re looking for an authentic corner of Florence, La Spada is a must-visit.
