Joanne PangJanuary 20, 2015Date spot alert! The crispy chicken flakes right off the bone; the pappardelle was substantial but on the heavier side. I'd go back -- and that trip will include the bread pudding!

Beka COctober 24, 2015One of the best Italian restaurants in the city, let alone uptown. Best way I can describe it "exotic Italian"...with great specials and well curated wine selection. It's a hidden gem true NYers
JosetteJune 11, 2015Great atmosphere, reminds me of the small, lovely restaurants of Tuscany. The best Italian bread in NYC, hot from their oven. Wish pasta was not over cooked!
Village VoiceJune 3, 2013This spot gets a lot of recognition on the UES, and for good reason. Their chicken al mattone is so delicious, crispy, and moist it will take the edge off how long it took you to score a reservation.
- Sit at the bar, and order the pappardelle and seasonal dessert tart. You can't go wrong with any of the cocktails (especially the tangerine cello). The roast chicken is a staple and always delicious.
Gloria DumasSeptember 23, 2016Everyone says sit at the bar and have the bolognese. It's true. To die for. The house made bread is a homey indulgence. Could've passed on the semi freddo
Warrent SattJanuary 13, 2014Widely praised for “authentic” Italian cooking, “knowledgeable” servers and “romantic” “farmhouse” digs, “the real deal”; though “pricey”, most agree it’s “worth the money”
Roger SchonfeldDecember 21, 2014They did something wonderful with the cauliflower that was part of the antipasti last night. Pastas were worth traveling for. Bread pudding and diff tart worth an airplane ride.- Village VoiceJanuary 18, 2013The lovely intimate atmosphere (they work with a 10 person dining area) make it advisable to call ahead for a reservation. Worth every minute!
- Roger SchonfeldDecember 21, 2014Lovely smart knowledgeable un-fussy service. Pricy wine list with a few Kress expensive "funky" options well worth trying.
Elizabeth ClosmoreMarch 28, 2013Make a res! Order the Antipasti - I hate Brussels sprouts and they were incredible along with some incredible mushrooms. Also a winning cheese plate.
Caroline SchulweisJune 23, 2014The bolognese pasta and chicken entree were delicious. Our entire table loved the cauliflower side as well.
New York HabitatMay 15, 2012This rustic Italian restaurant is perfect for an intimate evening. Ask the staff for wine suggestions to accompany your meal.
Melissa RogersJanuary 7, 2014Their fresh-baked bread is washed in olive oil and dusted with salt. Buy a loaf - they sell out quickly!
connieMarch 25, 2014Come for lunch, no reseys needed. Share the chicken and save room for the panna cotta.- Avril ShowerMarch 25, 2012The 3 best dishes: pappardelle alla Bolognese, Sfoglia’s chicken al mattone and Bread Pudding!!!
Christopher PepeMarch 8, 2013The gnocchi with pork shoulder is amomg the best pasta dishes I've ever tasted.
EatMeDrinkMeNYCOctober 28, 2010The chicken. You have to get the chicken. So moist! The secret is the brick oven. They are so confident you'll love it that no sides accompany it.
- Warrent SattFebruary 2, 2014The evening began with an order of the antipasta della casa. The appetizer was full of seasonal fresh veggies, do ordered the pappardelle handmade pasta with a fresh bolognese sauce an excellent dish.
ashley tevatiaJune 18, 2010The house bread is fantastic. Get the formaggi app with the plum jam. You won't be disappointed.
Christi ScofieldApril 6, 2010Go to Sfoglia and get the Chicken cooked under a brick. Fantastic! And don't miss the bread pudding for dessert.
- Tagliatelle Bolognese is house speciality--not to be missed!
Scott DamassaFebruary 13, 2011Pappardelle bolognese was heavy and overbooked. Given the other high reviews, I bet it was just an off night.
