Date 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!

One 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

Great 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!

This 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.

Everyone 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

Widely praised for “authentic” Italian cooking, “knowledgeable” servers and “romantic” “farmhouse” digs, “the real deal”; though “pricey”, most agree it’s “worth the money”

They 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, 2013
The 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, 2014
Lovely smart knowledgeable un-fussy service. Pricy wine list with a few Kress expensive "funky" options well worth trying.
Elizabeth ClosmoreMarch 28, 2013
Make 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, 2014
The bolognese pasta and chicken entree were delicious. Our entire table loved the cauliflower side as well.

This rustic Italian restaurant is perfect for an intimate evening. Ask the staff for wine suggestions to accompany your meal.

Actress and Blue Tree-owner Phoebe Cates calls this UES Italian spot her "home away from home" in this weeks NY Diet. Try the chicken al mattone! Read more

Their fresh-baked bread is washed in olive oil and dusted with salt. Buy a loaf - they sell out quickly!
connieMarch 25, 2014
Come for lunch, no reseys needed. Share the chicken and save room for the panna cotta.

The 3 best dishes: pappardelle alla Bolognese, Sfoglia’s chicken al mattone and Bread Pudding!!!
Christopher PepeMarch 8, 2013
The gnocchi with pork shoulder is amomg the best pasta dishes I've ever tasted.
EatMeDrinkMeNYCOctober 28, 2010
The 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.

Serious Italian with great pasta / Milanese
Joshua MillerJuly 1, 2012
Go for the blueberry cobbler if they have it!
USA TODAYNovember 22, 2010
Save room for the bread pudding—it’s difficult, but worth it. The dish needs to be ordered when you arrive and is meant to be shared. Read more

Cute, intimate, and tasty Italian fare in the UES.

Order the pappardelle and thank me later.

Not cheap but very good cousy Italian

Everything.

The 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.

Ask price of dessert before you get it 😉

The chicken. Get the chicken.

garganelli and pappardelle are outrageously good
ashley tevatiaJune 18, 2010
The house bread is fantastic. Get the formaggi app with the plum jam. You won't be disappointed.

Amazing warm bread, great pasta dishes, and delicious desserts!!

Go to Sfoglia and get the Chicken cooked under a brick. Fantastic! And don't miss the bread pudding for dessert.

This place was just average!
Scott DamassaFebruary 13, 2011
Pappardelle bolognese was heavy and overbooked. Given the other high reviews, I bet it was just an off night.
suneelApril 25, 2014
the bread is ridiculous
