OUR HISTORY
Opened as The Boyd in the 80's, it was considered "The soul of Kensington and Notting Hill" - hosting stars like Elton John, David Bowie and Princess Diana.
Acquired by Franco Faganello in June 2008, the restaurant has been restored to its previous glamour and transformed into a fine dining restaurant, plus a private room for meetings and exclusive dining. The well-chosen menu and wine list make The Glass Room a comfortable and perfect dining experience.
Franco Faganello is not new to the London restaurant scene. He came to London in 1996, after running a successful businesses in Italy. In London Franco gained experience and success in various different environments, including the fine dining Formula Veneta and San Frediano in Chelsea with one of the best restaurateurs in London at the time, Mr Gianni Pauro. The Guild and the Mithras in the City and the more fast paced Il Pagliaccio topped up his expertise as restaurant manager, before setting up Arabica Pura, a company specialising in coffee beans research for the Italian and British market.
"The Glass Room aims to bring all those experiences together. We want to offer fantastic food, great wine and a service that is warm, funky, and enthusiastic. It sounds basic, but not everyone offers that in London." says Franco.
