Restaurant in central Florence: Gladius
Taking history into account, focusing on innovation
We were created to offer a culinary experience that perfectly balances respect for Tuscan tradition with a desire for innovation.
Strategically located in the historic center of Florence, Gladius is not just a restaurant, but a meeting place for those seeking high-quality dishes prepared with care.
Our story begins right in front of us. The owners of Gladius are the same people who have been successfully running the renowned traditional Tuscan trattoria “La Spada” for years. This long experience in the heart of Florence has given us a deep understanding of local ingredients, authentic flavors, and, above all, the needs of those who seek the best.
With Gladius, we wanted to create something new: a more modern and welcoming environment where you can explore haute cuisine without exorbitant costs.
An offer that responds to those who want to eat in Florence on a budget without sacrificing excellence.
For those who love excitement!
Your place in the heart of Florence.
Gladius is designed for:
- Couples looking for a pleasant atmosphere for a romantic dinner.
- Small groups of friends who want a high-quality, convivial meal.
- Colleagues who want a restaurant open for lunch with an excellent set menu.

Here you will find goodness and beauty
Our mission is simple: to use only fresh, top-quality ingredients—from Scottona Florentine steak to fresh-caught fish—and transform them into memorable dishes.
