Glass Hostaria

by Chef Cristina Bowerman

Glass Hostaria has been selected in the MICHELIN Guide Italy 2025.

Glass Hostaria was born in 2004 in the middle of Trastevere, one of the most traditional, antique area in Rome. Glass is headed by Michelin Star Chef Cristina Bowerman. Among the small vicolos, the traditional atmosphere that Trastevere profuses, you can easily spot Glass as it represents an exception to the rule: modern, brave and surprising. Glass offers a modern approach to Italian cuisine without ever forgetting to be in the heart of Rome, in the center of Italy. When you are tired of traditional carbonara, cacio e pepe and scottadito, there’s Glass with new and unique approach to ingredients and dishes. New and comforting at the same time. Chef Bowerman is constantly raising the bar with new and innovative techniques and ingredients that she englobes in her research, passion, experiences during her trips around the world.

MICHELIN Star Italy 2026

Our MICHELIN Star has been reconfirmed for 2026.
We are happy, proud, and deeply excited.

This star is a recognition of our daily work: from the creativity of Chef Cristina Bowerman, to the tireless energy of the brigade, all the way to the smallest detail that reaches your table.

Restaurants Against Hunger

A simple gesture that can make a difference.

From today until December 31, Glass Hostaria is proud to support Ristoranti contro la Fame, the campaign by Azione contro la Fame.

Because every dish can become a concrete sign of solidarity.

By ordering our Ravioli del plin all’Amatriciana with crispy guanciale, you donate €2 to the campaign.
By choosing our solidarity water, you contribute €0.50.

A small contribution, a great impact.
Together, we can turn a gastronomic experience into a gesture that also nourishes the heart.

An important event united two themes that are very close to our hearts: the fight against hunger and malnutrition and the battle against gender inequality were the two central topics of the charity dinner organized by Google Italia and Action Against Hunger on March 7, 2024 in Milan.
