An import from Nantucket, Sfoglia is one of the few Upper East Side joints that, if transported to downtown, wouldn’t feel out of place. The front room feels like you’ve walked into an Italian market with shelves of food and baskets of produce greeting you in the entryway. Mismatched vintage tables, stone walls, and an array of vintage furniture bring a homey vibe to the front room. The back room is bigger and brighter, but still sports that same charm that makes you feel at ease the moment you enter. You can just sense that you are in for some good Italian cooking. A word to the wise, lean heavily on the pasta when ordering. That’s what separates Sfoglia from the pack.
