Quaglino's
Quaglino's is a restaurant at 16 Bury Street, St James's, London, founded by Giovanni Quaglino in 1929. The restaurant achieved huge popularity with the British establishment in the 1930s through to the 1950s after which it entered a period of relative decline, being purchased by the Conran Group in 1993 and relaunched by D&D London in the 2010s.
==Early history==
Giovanni "John" Quaglino was a waiter who was ''maître d'hôtel'' at the Martinez Hotel in Cannes and who subsequently worked at The Savoy in London with John Sovrani. Sovrani left The Savoy to start Sovrani's Restaurant in Jermyn Street in 1927, taking Quaglino with him, however, according to rumour, Sovrani took too much interest in Quaglino's wife, causing him to resign as head waiter in 1929 and start Quaglino's in nearby Bury Street. Sovrani's lost a lot of business to Quaglino's and closed in 1931. A version of the rumours was repeated in the ''Tatler'' on 6 January 1932 in which a restaurant owner was quoted as saying "my boss, he pinch my brother's wife, so now I pinch his business", causing Sovrani to sue the publishers and printers of ''Tatler'' for libel.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Quaglino's History – Mayfair – D&D London )〕〔"High Court of Justice King's Bench Division Libel Action by Restaurant Proprietor Sovrani v. Eyre & Spottiswoode, Limited, and Another." ''The Times'', 15 March 1933, p. 4.〕 The defence argued that the words could not apply to Sovrani as his restaurant had already closed by the time they appeared and Quaglino's only brother was not married. The jury, however, found in favour of the Sovrani and awarded him £2500 damages with costs.〔"High Court of Justice King's Bench Division Restaurant Proprietor's Libel Action: £2,500 Damages Awarded Sovrani v. Eyre & Spottiswoode, Limited, and Another." ''The Times'', 16 March 1933, p. 4.〕
