I Gladiatori Osteria Romana

Best Known For

Authentic Margherita Pizza.

On Moore Road in Freshwater, I Gladiatori Osteria Romana brings the underground food culture of Rome to Sydney’s northern beaches. Born in the Eternal City, this authentic osteria specialises in pinsa romana, a centuries-old Roman recipe and the true ancestor of modern pizza. Crafted using ancient and wholemeal flours, the dough is gently hand-worked to create a light, rustic base prized for its flavour and digestibility. The menu celebrates Roman tradition with confidence and simplicity, designed for sharing and lingering. Warm, character-filled and deeply rooted in history, I Gladiatori Osteria Romana offers a genuine taste of Rome, reimagined for modern palates in a relaxed coastal setting.
