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.

Dined tonight during Valentine’s Day weekend. We’ve always enjoyed dining here and tonight’s dinner was no exception. They had a special prix-fixed menu for Valentine’s Day priced at $98 per person. I thought this was a great deal considering how much food they serve you. My wife also got the wine pairing for $45- you get four glasses of wine, so it’s a good deal.
Natalia was our waitress and she was great. She was very friendly and service as usual was spot on. I opted for a la carte and got our usual Grilled Spiced Wild Calamari – still delicious and the Pappardelle. This is one of my favorite dishes here. Most of the pasta dishes here are really good, so you can’t go wrong with any of those selections.
For the special Valentine’s Day menu, the Beef Tartare & Smoked Bone Marrow and the Roasted Lobster Fra Diavolo was definitely the highlight of the evening. The beef tartare was sitting on top of the bone marrow, and they served a really large piece of bone marrow! The Roasted Lobster Fra Diavolo needs to be on the regular menu- it was that good. The lobster tasted like it was cooked sous-vide because it was so light and tender. This dish also came with Key West Shrimp. The Squid Ink Tagliatelle pasta was al dente – just perfect.
There is a parking garage underneath the building. They do provide parking validation.

We had a wonderful experience! Sat at the bar and had the Shrimp scampi and white bean hummus appetizers, which were great. The happy hour super Tuscan is a great red. The chicken Parm is super tasty and the Shishido peppers are a great side. Only disappointment was the meatball appetizer which was flat. Special shout out to Justin at the bar. He’s great!

Great atmosphere with classy, interesting touches like vintage pasta making tools, abstract chandelier, eating nooks including a pretty cute private room for parties. We sat on the covered patio in cold weather and were cozy with their heaters and garden decor (roses, spanish moss). Had the house made pasta special with wild mushrooms, fresh herbs and cheese. Tried a bite of my husband’s gnocchi bowl and it was deep with flavor. Slightly expensive but worth it.

Saylor provided one of the best experiences ever.
She was patient, knowledgeable, professional and courteous.
We had a complicated group ( 10 PAX from 8 y.o. to 94 y.o) and she navigated the whole chaos like a swan.
The place is nice, but somewhat too “white” in the decor, JMHO and to each his own.
Food was good, but pasta was a let down because we all expected our pasta to be served ” al dente” and we didn’t get that.
Next time we’ll make sure to specify that.
Prawns were excellent just grilled in butter and black pepper. Quality food needs no “rubs” nor sauces.
Do NOT miss the Gianduja cake. It was truly the star of the show. I had to fight fiercely to keep my portion safe, and I wasn’t that successful
And, coffee was very nice. Not overly roasted and just “au point”.

Top notch Italian food. I enjoyed my experience here as well the food and ambiance. The indoor outdoor patio is a nice place to sit. Even on a warmer day it’s pretty cool in there creating a very pleasant dining experience. The menu is pretty large with plenty of things to choose from and my service was good.

We had a truly lovely evening at this restaurant, and it’s definitely worth a visit. From the start, the drinks were spot on and the bread with oil was just perfect for nibbling. We tasted a range of dishes, from seafood pasta to a rich bolognese and some absolutely delicious truffle ravioli. Even the kids’ menu was a hit, which is always a win.
The atmosphere really stands out, it’s beautiful, quiet, and has this charming old-school Italian decor that makes you feel right at home. Seating is comfortable and cozy, though I will say parking can be a bit tricky, so plan a little extra time for that. Overall, it’s a delightful spot for a family dinner or a special night out.

We had such a wonderful dinner experience here last night. The staff was incredibly attentive and thoughtful toward me, my husband, and our baby, which made the whole evening feel relaxed and welcoming. It’s not always easy dining out with a little one, but they made us feel so comfortable and taken care of.
The food was excellent as always—delicious, well-prepared, and consistently great. We had a really lovely time and left very happy. Definitely one of our favorite spots, and we look forward to coming back.

Went on a Sunday night at 5 o’clock. We had reservations, but the restaurant was pretty quiet. We ordered linguine with clam sauce, Hamachi Crudo, cacio e pepe , ravioli, tiramisu, and the Italian bread with ricotta. all of it was pretty good. I wasn’t crazy about the Hamachi, but my daughter liked it. Customer service was fabulous.

I celebrated my 25th birthday at Sfoglina for dinner and was so glad I did.
We ordered the octopus and Caesar salad as starters. The octopus was incredibly flavorful with a hint of spice, but slightly overcooked. The Caesar salad was good, but nothing stand-out.
My 72- Hour Braised Beef Short Rib was delicious- perfectly tender meat with a flavorful and satisfying sauce. Dessert was the standout of the meal – a strawberry sorbet that rivals any sorbet I’ve had in Italy. I appreciate that the restaurant was careful to prepare food safe for my gluten allergy (Celiac).
In terms of parking, there is a parking garage adjacent to the restaurant, and the restaurant does validate parking.
Overall, I recommend Sfoglina for an upscale dinner or lunch with friends!

Nice busy restaurant but noisy. Luckily we were moved to a room just off of the entrance so easier to talk as a group. I had the Mafalde Telefono which I just searched speaks to the noodles which I had never had before being a long continuous pasta like an old telephone cord. It was good. The server said there was one other purely vegetarian version the san leo. Service was good and parking is available on the street.
