Menu was a bit contrived and didn’t wow in the way we’ve come to expect from contemporary Michelin starred restaurants. We were largely unimpressed, but the stuffed quail was definitely the most interesting dish served.

Chef Cristina and her team set the bar for an exemplary dining experience. The staff demonstrated impeccable attention to detail, and the food's presentation, taste, and bold flavors exceeded our expectations. We visited shortly after our engagement in Rome when we were both tired and hungry. However, leaving the restaurant, we felt revitalized and refreshed, realizing this is exactly what a perfect dining experience should entail. Opting for the 6-course tasting menu, we embarked on a delightful journey that tantalized both our taste buds and minds. Chef Cristina fearlessly challenges culinary norms, crafting unparalleled flavors. For anyone visiting Rome, this restaurant is a must-add to their itinerary. It has now become a cherished place for us, and we look forward to dining here every time we return to Roma!

The staff was amazing. They were very attentive and accommodating. The food was delicious and the patients were spot on. I loved how each plate and paying were explained. My wife and I highly recommend this restaurant!

The only gourmet restaurant in the Trastevere area. Well merited Michelin star. Good wine list, although the coefficients are a bit on the high side.

Beautiful spot in the vibrant Travestere area with elegant high ceilings, innovative takes on classic Italian dishes ( raviolis are killer - do not miss them at any cost!) and personal service by an attentive caring staff results in a simply stellar dining experience. Epic Wine list is full of hidden gems and the price fixe is fair value. Having done both Al la carte and prix fixe I can say quality is all over. I’d like to see a salad option but each dish is a winner across the board imho. Garden area in front is a quiet buffer in this dynamic area.

This restaurant has particular dishes. But not very tasty. Some waiters are friendly some of them were horrible. Mixed experience. Would not go a second time.

Overall, nice ambience and impeccable and unpressured service (not an eyelid batted that we are teetotal, for instance). It is mandatory to choose two mains, I chose Duck, and Shrimps. Between the two, that was quite filling, especially as 3 free small taster plates are provided too. All of the food was tasty, immaculately presented and with novel flavours. The single most memorable thing was actually the complimentary ultrathin crispbread with many carraway seeds embedded. I really liked that. Meeting the chef Cristina Bowerman afterwards was a nice treat, and I liked that she didn't ask me about the food because I'm such an airhead I would have clean forgotten what I'd just eaten in the moment, like a rabbit in the headlights. You can also buy two of her books at the restaurant. The only part of the decor that is not perfect is the (archaic and not used) door at the far right corner on the right .... it has rust flaking off it and looks like it would be in place on a long-abandoned ship. I'd replace that, it doesn't fit with everything else. For two people, if you're not boozers and just choose two mains like us, expect to spend about 150 euros total, and leave 15 for the service. So that's about the minimum you'd spend here. More with pudding, starter, or if you go for the tasting menu.

The staff was very nice and welcoming. They helped us chose a wine that paired amazingly with the dishes. They were very accommodating with our food restrictions. The food was exceptional. Different textures using Italian dishes but putting a spin on them. Nice mixture of veggies, meats, and seafood. We took the tasting menu and the portions were just right. The head chef was so kind and greeted and chatted with every table. This was a new experience for us and was an extra touch that we were very appreciative of.

An overpriced meal with low quality food and service. The worst meal we had in rome and I was surprised that it was rated on Michelin’s list.

Dear Daisy, you sent an email trying to cancel the reservation at 1.15 of the day of your reservation because your husband was not feeling well and asking not to be charged the no show fee. Then, when the no show fee appeared on your credit card, you called and ask to reinstate your reservation which we accepted (mistake we won't make again) and finally came. We were all very glad to see that your husband was perfectly fine. Since your first step into the restaurant your behavior was clearly hostile and your review is a revenge review. We would like for you to think for a second on how wrong it is to slam on professionals who work hard, study hard and do their best to make people happy. Even if it is for few hours.

We expected more from this restaurant when rated as a One star Michelin establishment, but were disappointed over the food and service. BTW we had the Glass tasting menu. The wine list was very extensive and good. I compared this experience to another Michelin restaurant we visited in March in Porto Portugal, Antiqvvm, The Antiqvvm deserved 3 stars in comparison with Glass Hosteria. The price at both places was at the same level, as we had both tasting menues.

We recently celebrated our wedding anniversary at Glass Hostaria, and it was magical. From the moment we walked in, the ambiance amazed us. The staff was attentive and helpful, ensuring our special day was truly memorable. The menu took us on an astonishing journey. If you’re looking for an exceptional dining experience, this is the place to be. It was a perfect evening!

The service was wonderful, but the food was not altogether what we expected for a Michelin star and $200 per person with the wine, some sparkling water, and espressos. We had the tasting menu - we were able to swap a couple of dishes between the regular and vegetarian tasting menus which was nice. A few of the dishes were amazing - especially the Parmesan Ravioli with Truffles. Other dishes were either under seasoned or needed acid or umami. If we were to go back I recommend the a la crate menu.
