Sfoglina serves light and seasonal salads, appetizers, meat and seafood entrees that can be shared, and authentic, family-favorite Italian desserts. Our charming venues feature a whimsical design and timeless Italian cocktails, approachable Italian wines, and comfy patios for al fresco dining.

I had a taste for carbonara, so I invited my friends to Sfoglina Downtown! We had a WONDERFUL time. We split a bottle of Zinfandel, which was great. We loved our appetizer (we added the crushed tomatoes and prosciutto). I got my carbonara! My friend couldn’t decide between two entrées, so the waiter (Oscar) asked if he could surprise her and brought a little of each entrée out in two separate bowls! So thoughtful. All of our desserts were delicious. My friend’s gluten allergy was totally accommodated. Best gluten free pasta that she has ever had! We will definitely be going back!

First time caller!
Stopped in to place a carry-out order and ended up grabbing a seat at the bar during happy hour. The vibe surprised me—instead of the usual Italian ambiance, there was a full doo-wop playlist rolling in the background. Unexpected combo, but honestly… who doesn’t love a curveball?
Happy hour prices were generous, so I ordered an Old Fashioned and the deviled eggs. The eggs were solid with a clean presentation. The Old Fashioned was good too, though I would’ve preferred a single solid ice cube—maybe that’s just not part of the happy hour pour ♂️.
Staff was friendly and attentive, and my food was ready in about 25–30 minutes. I ordered the pork belly and the shrimp scampi. Didn’t realize until I got home that neither dish came with bread, which threw me off a bit. That said, the shrimp scampi was amazing. The pork belly didn’t wow me, but to be fair, that’s probably on me for ordering outside their Italian wheelhouse.
Overall, solid first visit. I’d definitely come back to dine in and get the full experience.

We went to Sfoglina Downtown for Valentine’s Day dinner, and overall it was a really enjoyable experience.
Service was good, though a little inconsistent and rushed at times, but because it was Valentine’s Day, we didn’t really factor that into our overall impression.
To start, we ordered the Large Mozzarella di Bufala from the Grand Mozzarella Bar, labeled “Must Try!” It was fresh, creamy, and tasty. We enjoyed it, but at $24 for a ball of mozzarella, I’d probably try one of the antipasti next time for a bit more variety and value.
For entrées, we went with the Radiatore Cacio e Pepe and the Bucatini Carbonara. Both were excellent and easy choices given that the pasta is handmade in-house. The cacio e pepe was perfectly simple, peppery, and rich without being heavy. I added shrimp, and it came with five good-sized, well-seasoned shrimp that made it even better. The carbonara was just as strong, with salty guanciale and a silky egg-based sauce that felt authentic and well-executed.
For dessert, we shared the Sfoglina Tiramisu and the Piemontese Gianduja. Both were good. The gianduja cake was huge, easily enough for two (or more) to split.
One small critique: the newspaper-sized menus were a bit obnoxious. In close quarters, they were awkward to unfold and manage. I felt like I was doing origami every time I wanted to look at a different section. It’s a cute concept, but not the most practical.
Overall, Sfoglina is a solid choice for handmade pasta in D.C., and the dishes absolutely delivered. We’d definitely go back.

Super sweet staff!! We got to celebrate one of my co-workers for her baby shower and the staff were so sweet. They have delicious bread with this herbaceous butter. I got the spicy vodka sauce dish with grilled chicken on the side, absolutely delicious!! They also wrap up your leftovers in a cute little bag and box! If this is up your alley they also have an assortment of cheeses to share around the table. Would definitely return to this place!

María made our experience beyond fabulous, but our dinner of linguine allá vongole and the rigatoni with Sunday sauce needed no help! An excellent waitress, Maria helped guide us to a Ceasar salad unlike any other! The dressing was truly spectacular! The warm spiced apple butter cake was enough to feed a family but so delicious I barely wanted to share it with hubby! Definitely worthy of a visit and one of the best Italian restaurants I’ve been to in a long time – and I’ve been to many great ones!!

I had an incredible lunch and cannot recommend this place enough. From the moment I sat down, the service was exceptional. Th waitstaff was polite, attentive, and made sure I was well taken care of throughout the entire meal.
The food was some of the best I’ve had in a long time. The calamari was perfectly prepared, the carbonara was rich and flavorful, and the gnocchi was absolutely outstanding. Every dish was beautifully done and full of flavor.
Beyond the food and service, the ambiance was wonderful and made the whole experience even more enjoyable. Overall, this was one of the best dining experiences I’ve had, and I’m already looking forward to coming back.

As close to a 10/10 as you can get. Fantastic food, service and atmosphere. YOU HAVE TO COME HERE.
I searched online for “Italian near metro Center dc”, and stumbled upon the trusty Reddit and fellow Google reviews folk’s opinions for “life changing meatballs” and “excellent meatballs”. I can’t go back to anything less anymore.
I’ve never had Burrata that was so creamy Anne full of flavour, and the accompanying tomatoes were fresh like they were plucked from the vine. The rich bolognese sauce from the gnocchi was incredibly delectable and the tomatoes were straight from Italy. Meatballs were supple and delicate like a pair of clouds, braised beef fell off the fork, sausage was hearty and bursting with taste. Agnolotti with truffle was super savoury, the pasta was cooked to al dente excellence. To end and take us over the edge, we ordered a tiramisu.
Service was excellent, my water was always above two thirds full and the waiters were extremely friendly. Speed was paramount – Within minutes, food came out, packed though the place was.
Price was good if 1) you aren’t very hungry, and 2) you weren’t feeling indulgent and craving for Italian food. $30-40 bucks for an entree, but everything is excellent and positively scrumptious. I end the night with immense satisfaction and fullness, a wondrous combo.
This is the place for Italian in DC – finally, and I knew it at the first bite of burrata, a definite Techmo Seal of Approval.

My new favorite italian restaurant in DC. Best Caesar salad I’ve ever had and the pasta was amazing. Excellent cacio y pepe and mushroom gnocchi.

Made a reservation at Sfoglina yesterday evening. The moment we walked in, we were greeted by the kindest man—he literally goes out of his way to make sure your experience is top-notch! Our server was Alejandro, and he was beyond wonderful and kind.
The food? Out of this world delicious. My husband had the Braised Beef Short Rib Agnolotti—so good, especially with the little hints of black truffle. I had the Bolognese Pappardelle and oh my goodness, it was incredible!
We ordered cappuccinos—wonderful. The Nonna Palmina’s Meatballs? So good. Order those for sure. We also tried the Mozzarella Bar with crushed tomatoes, and it was fresh and flavorful.
For dessert, we had the Piemonte chocolate gianduja cake and the tiramisu—both amazing. The peach and vanilla sorbet swirl was also so refreshing and light.
We will definitely have to eat here again before we leave D.C. Thanking God for simple joys like this—good food, kind people, and special moments with the one I love.

Visited Sfoglina on a Tuesday evening while on business with 3 colleagues. Service was excellent, welcoming and very friendly. Atmosphere was relaxed and chilled which was nice. The food was pretty good too. A couple of the pasta dishes could have been presented a little better but cooked perfectly. I’d highly recommend the Tiramisu!
