Overall I'm very happy to have an Italian restaurant of this quality close by. I ordered pickup through their website, and the order was ready very quickly on a weeknight. I tried the spaghetti and meatballs, which is only offered on the online delivery and pickup menu. The pasta was cooked well and the marinara sauce was good. The meatballs weren't my favorite. They had a very soft texture and not much flavor. I couldn't really taste the beef, onion, or seasoning. They weren't bad, but I like their other pastas much better. The sautéed spinach was a nice side. A couple of things to know for takeout: the containers don't present the pasta very well, and they don't include Parmesan, so you'll want your own at home. I'll definitely order again, but next time I'll stick with one of their other pasta dishes. read more

We came here for happy hour. $8 hugo spritzes and garlic bread was perfect. Good happy hour deals and menu. We sat outside and there were plenty of umbrellas and the tables had plenty of space. It was a delightful atmosphere. Service was attentive and friendly! read more

Food is always great. I came once to the Van Ness location, and this was my first time in the Arlington one. The vibes and colors of the restaurant are so cozy and cute; it's great for a date night! I ordered the lamb tortellini to share, calamari, and a charcuterie board that had mozzarella cheese and prosciutto. I don't even like olives, but the olives were tasty! I came for an anniversary, so the staff was so lovely and gave us a little sweet treat and a card! I ended it with the chantilly cake, which was also so tasty. Overall, I recommend it. I love handmade pasta, so I can't really imagine the other foods not being good. read more

Went here for dinner for a birthday celebration with a table for 13+ guests. They also serve half portions of pasta if you don't want to commit to a full plate.The carbonara was a bit too heavy & rich for my taste though I enjoyed the grilled calamari. Would come again here for this. Thanks to Juan R. for taking care of our large table and for the complementary gelato swirls for the birthday girl! The restaurant validates parking in the garage after 5:00 PM. +Provoline Garlic Bread-tomato sauce, parmigiano, spicy calabrese chiles +Argula & Asparagus-shaved butternut squash, toasted pumpkin seeds, sorrento citronette +Bucatini Carbonara-guaniciale, egg, pecorino, roman style +1/2lb Rhode Island Calamari-served with salsa verde, charred lemon +Gelato Swirl-vanilla gelato + apple cider sorbetto +Espresso Martini-vanilla infused vodka, galliano cold brew, bailey's, taverna amaro read more

Good food, nice ambiance and great service? I was pleasantly surprised at how great this restaurant was! The staff is amazing from start to finish, the interior of the restaurant is beautiful and everything we ate was great! Came with a friend and we ordered the Provolone Garlic Bread, Pappardelle and the Smoked Bone Marrow Tartar. Then for dessert we tried the Tiramisu and they gave us the Apple cider gelato as a complimentary dessert which was so nice! I can't wait to comeback and try more dishes. A plus, they validate parking in the garage if you drive so a win-win! read more

I have a beef with fine dining! My beef with fine dining is that whenever I go to fine dine spot my expectations are as high as the price of food and I don't care about the ambiance. I don't care what sort of chair I am sitting on, I don't care about what wood was used to make the table. I also don't care about how expensive is the silverware. I JUST WANT THE FOOD TO BE AS GOOD AS THE PRICE! Does Sfoglina fulfills that promise? Yes! Grilled octopus is one of my favorite things to eat. You can tell a restaurant has a good chef if they don't overcook the octopus. This octopus was not overcooked. It was delicious and I enjoyed each and every bit of it. I ordered the Caesar salad as well which was drenched in dressing and also was really refreshing. I also ordered dessert which was okay at best. All in all it is a good place to eat but it is not mind blowing by any means. I'll give this a 3.79 for everything. read more

First time trying and was lucky that it was not busy. Seated immediately and got a warm welcome. It has a nice little setup, with nice dim lighting. The food.... de-li-cious!!! I got the beef short rib agnolotti. The pasta, the meat, the sauce all paired perfectly together. Don't think I've ever eaten something so fast. For dessert, of course, you cannot go wrong with tiramisu. Thats what I got and it is a good serving size. Will definitely be back again to try other dishes! read more

Absolutely loved my meal at Sfoglina! The space is cozy and inviting, and the food totally lives up to the hype. You can really taste the difference with the handmade pasta; noodles are fresh, tender, and full of flavor. I had the tagliatelle Bolognese and some happy hour small pasta bites. Highly recommend if you're in the mood for a comforting but elevated Italian meal. read more

It was my first time at Sfoglina Rosslyn and it was delicious! I had the Lady Luck cocktail ($17 Espolon Blanco, Cointreau, Pomegranate, Lime, Grapefruit Soda) and requested it in a short glass which was balanced and tasty. Their complimentary bread was very good. Thick cut loaves of fluffy bread. I ordered the Fabio's Ravioli San Leo goat cheese ravioli for $26. Overall, I really enjoyed the meal and the service was friendly and attentive. They also validate parking in the attached garage which is nice. Dinner is definitely on the pricier side, so I will probably be back to try their happy hour! read more

I recently had lunch at Sfoglina Rosslyn with coworkers and the food was so good. The place was packed and service was sloooooow, but to be fair it was the last week before Christmas break, so I'm giving them grace. The arugula salad was fresh and delicious, the meatballs were amazing, and the penne alla vodka was fine, but that tiramisu topped with mascarpone? I'm still thinking about it. Like, aggressively. Would absolutely go back (and just plan a little extra time). read more

I came here for my birthday and while service was good I felt the food was nothing special. The portions were small and they were a bit heavy handed on salting. We got the meatballs, gnocchi, short rib pasta, and the carpaccio. The carpaccio portioning was very tiny as were the meatballs. My favorite was the short rib as other reviewers seem to agree with. Atmosphere Is not quite the type for a date night but more so for group dinners or family dinner. I unfortunately would not come again. read more

My friends and I went to Sfoglina for a Friendsgiving, Italian style. The decor and tiny details match the ambiance of authentic Italian cuisine. We all had wine or martinis, from an extensive list of options. We had the garlic bread, which was to die for (not pictured because we ate it so fast). Our waiter also brought out complimentary roasted artichokes which had great flavor. The Caesar salad portions were very big and the split them in two for us. The dressing on the salad was light yet creamy with a perfect amount or Parmesan on top. It does come with an egg on top which I haven't seen before. Everyone loved their main courses. Lots of Spicy Rigatoni alla Vodka and Braised Beef Short Rib Agnolotti were ordered. We were stuffed for dessert but they brought out the apple cider gelato which was very light and refreshing. read more

We visited on a Tuesday evening for a team dinner. The establishment was very clean and organized. The staff was extremely friendly. We had a great location inside of the restaurant where all 10 of us could sit together. All of the drinks were great. I had an old-fashioned, others had various drinks and wine. Everyone enjoyed their drinks. We had a variation of appetizers and entrées on the table to share. I tasted the meatballs, calamari, cheese dish, and other items. Everything was delicious. For my entrée, I had the shrimp scampi with spaghetti, which was amazing. Top-tier experience and I would recommend anyone to come! read more

TL;DR mediocre & overpriced Sat outside for an early meal - had been interested in this spot and craving Italian. Ordered caprese salad, garlic bread with red sauce, caesar salad and vodka pasta. They kindly halved the dishes we shared. I can't say if that's the culprit, but the portions were unimpressive - not only in size - also in flavor. The pasta was very mediocre with subtle spice. The salad had a semi soft yolk and large croutons which was a highlight. The caprese salad was underwhelming. The winner, and what I would recommend, is the garlic bread. It was crispy outside, soft inside, flavorful, and hot. We also had some martinis - gin and espresso - and a glass of wine. The drinks were very ok. The service here was kind, reasonably attentive, and delivery of plates was prompt. A major flag was when the server handed over the device to pay, they pre-selected 25% tip which is aggressive for a subpar meal. Overall, this felt underwhelming and overpriced, which was unfortunate. read more

We came here on a Saturday night and it was busy but not packed. Our waiter was good and gave some great recommendations. Food was excellent, but we feel a that it was a little overpriced for the portion sizes. For example the burrata was $16 I think, with nothing to put it on, so they recommend getting the tomatoes ($12) and bread ($8) on the side so you're already at $36 for a small cheese appetizer. The burrata and bread were both delicious though! The short rib agnalotti was the best, so delicious and the sauce was incredible. We also got the ragu pappardelle which was delicious but not as good. The tiramisu was one of the best I've had because the coffee flavors were very strong. Usually it's much milder but we really enjoyed how coffee heavy it was. The cannoli cake was also delicious but not as good. Would probably come back because everything was just very delicious! read more

April 2026: Sfoglina is a great Italian restaurant. They have a number of locations. I go to their Rosslyn location. They make their pasta by hand daily in their pasta room. Both their food and service has always been very good. Plus they have nice gluten free options. They have gluten free pasta so many of their pasta dishes can be made gluten free by using the gluten free pasta. Their simply grilled food is also gluten free. And they always have at least one gluten free dessert. I highly recommend this restaurant. Sfoglina is located on the lobby level of a tall building. Their bar area has seats in the atrium portion of the building, as well as seats inside the restaurant. I like the atrium portion because it is not as loud and noisy as the main restaurant. And if you are looking for an event space with a real WOW factor, check out Sfoglina's rooftop. The rooftop of this building has a view of the river and DC monuments. It's one of the best views I have ever seen. It's amazing. AND I like it that there is a portion that is inside as well as a portion that is outside. So even if it rains you can still have your event on the rooftop. And if it's a really hot and humid day, your guests can stay in the air conditioned interior. I attach a few photos so you can see for yourself. They will remodel the rooftop so it will look a bit different in a few months but you still get the idea. The rooftop is only available for private events. The restaurant is well worth the visit! read more

Sfoglina is one of my favorite Italian restaurants The food is of very high quality and it's such a beautiful place inside! Perfect for a date night! They have a 3 course lunch menu for only $28 per person with a drink included! The pesto pasta was amazing, I also loved the sweet potato soup. You can also go to the bar for happy hour from 3-6 they have drinks and appetizers on the happy hr menu. All around so worth coming here! Service has always been excellent. read more

Cute place but quality has dropped recently. Pasta with no flavor and lack of textural variety. Like a huge plate of mush. But my biggest gripe is the music. Overbearing Frank Sinatra and similar even at lunch. Intrusive and a huge mismatch from the light airy room and business talk. Consider something more subtle, and hell, why not Italian? read more

Wonderful food. Ate there last night for a business dinner. But a few nits to pick. First, it's too dark. Hard to read the menu. I had to use the flashlight on my phone. The waiter noticed and brought over a candle. Didn't help. Second, the font on the wine list is way too small. Again, had to use my phone to read it. Third, background music is too loud. I measured the noise level at close to 90 dB. Hard to converse. read more

Amazing pasta! The menu is almost exclusively pasta so if that's not your vibe, be warned. We didn't really know what we were getting ourselves into but we went all in and did the family option of sharing 3 pastas and ordered the chicken as well - all fabulous! Definitely enough food for our group of 4 especially with the addition of the table bread which was 10/10. The broccolini was too bitter for our tastes but not a big deal since the star of the show is definitely the pasta dishes. Service was also helpful and attentive which was appreciated. read more

We ordered takeout which was extremely fast for pickup (within five mins). We ordered the pappardelle, mafalde, and warm rosemary bread. The bread was amazing - very soft and the whipped ricotta was delicious (there was no rosemary in the bread but it was still good lol). The pastas however were a let down. Not much meat in the pastas at all, and lacking on flavor. Cute inside though! read more

This is the great spot for after work happy hour. Unfortunately, they only offer the happy hour food and drinks at the bar, but their bar is pretty big wraparound both inside the restaurant and outside so you shouldn't have to much trouble finding a seat. They have a couple of small portions sized items a happy menu, including meatballs, you can just get one meatball, which was a perfect appetizer. We also got their Barada as an appetizer, which was a nice way to start off the meal. We got the full portion pasta though because we wanted a full meal, instead of the happy hour half portion. I got the cacio pepe, which was really good and even though it wasn't a large portion, it was very filling and was with fun shaped pastas. We also got the seafood linguine, which was good and have plenty of clams. I was also celebrating my birthday. They brought out a chocolate cake which was delicious and we ordered the apricot dessert which I would 100% order again, it was tart and delicious. They also gave us complementary sorbet which was so nice of them. It wasn't too crowded and service was good though our waiter was running between attending and being a server for us. read more

Sfoglina Rosslyn did not disappoint! My friends and I ventured to dinner here on a Friday night and were excited to enjoy a tasty meal. The ambiance is very clean and classic. Loved the proximity from the Rosslyn Metro Station! To begin, we started off with drinks. We got the Spritz Tower and it was a refreshing start to the meal. I indulged in an Espresso Martini which was creamy and packed a strong punch. I will say I did enjoy how this drink at the Van Ness location which wasn't stirred and instead had a milky foam at the top. Nonetheless, it was delicious. For my entree, I went with the Fettuccini Alfredo with mushrooms. It was a great blend of cheeses and hearty mushrooms in each bite which I enjoyed. However, the sauce was more buttery than creamy which made the dish a bit oily. I loved the garlicky flavors from the sauce and ended up almost finishing my entire plate of pasta - very rare for me in one sitting! The service was wonderful! Our server ensured we were satisfied with each menu item and made us feel right at home. While I did prefer the Van Ness location a tad more, Sfoglina Rosslyn is a great spot to check out for a delicious dinner! Excited to try their happy hour soon. read more

Ambiance: (5/5) Enjoyed the decor and seating. Price: (4/5) This is a pricey restaurant, but the quality reflects it. You can still get a meal for a reasonable price if you go for lunch. Food: (4/5) I love the family style option. It's 3 plates of pastas. Just that alone is enough to feed 2 people since the portions are on the smaller end. We tried the cacio e pepe that was an easy thing that we knew everyone would enjoy. Spicy vodka penne was flavorful. My two favorites however were the Nona's Sunday sauce that was packed with great ingredients and the braised short rib ravioli. The calamari was very unique in the best way. I've never had calamari with a Smokey, earthy flavor. I thought the vanilla gelato was good but a little icey, I was expecting something more milk based. The tiramisu was my favorite dessert that I took to go. Service: (5/5) Staff is incredibly attentive and kind. Food comes out decently quickly. read more

Came here for a work related dinner. Plenty of seating during a weeknight. Steph freed us and seated us promptly. Everyone was very nice and service was excellent. Ambience was charming. Great date night place. Might even be OK with the kids earlier on, but don't bring them later! Excellent wine list and cocktails were delicious. They have specials on Monday and Tuesdays. The calamari was not fried, but roasted in the tomato sauce, very delicious and different. The Buffalo mozzarella was delicious and light. We tried and nobody was dissatisfied. I ordered the spicy squid ink with shrimp. I found the dish somewhat bland with the pasta was delicious and so I did not raise any issues. Shrimp was overcooked but again possible. The tiramisu was delicious and different. I'll be back again with the wife. read more

We didn't have a reservation, so we did a walk in visit on a Wednesday night. It was pretty filled up so we sat on the high tables. The ambiance was great, and the cocktails were pretty good too. As for the food, the gnocchi was alright. I really liked the sauce, but I felt that the pasta texture was a bit too soft for my liking. The Burrata was good, but also it's extremely hard to go wrong on a Burrata dish. The garlic bread was decent. The braised beef agnolotti, however, was TOO salty. I am usually good with salty food, but the beef filling in this pasta was probably THE saltiest thing I've ever had in my life. It was a pity that it was this salty, since the pasta texture was great and the sauce itself was good. read more

They boast a Michelin Bib Gourmand NOT a Michelin Star!!!! Total dine time for a party of 2 who loves to chit chat and enjoy a meal, coffee, and desert 23 minutes. Normal time at quality restaurants 1 hour 30 minutes. Dinner time came as a surprise to an empty dining room. There were ample tables but the staff and ambiance made up for it quickly. Was offered flat or sparkling water and then the he meal went off the rails in the best possible way! Nona's meatballs were fresh, hot, and flavorful! It's like they got an old Italian woman in the back rolling them fresh! The garlic bread had the perfect amount of garlic and cheese and paired with the meatballs perfectly!!! The pappardelle bolognese was a huge portion and so full of flavor and herbs that my tastebuds were taken back to Toronto, Italy. The Rigatoni Vodka was cooked to a perfect al dente and had a perfect kick at the end. Overall spend your time and money here if you want an amazing experience and food that rivals the best. This explains how they got their Michelin Bib Gourmand. read more

Went out for dinner with friends to try Sfoglina for the first time. I ordered a standard glass of rose, and shared a bunch of appetizers with my friends (including sautéed mushrooms, garlic bread, winter burratta caprese and an arugula salad. Hands down the mushrooms were my absolute favorite. For pastas we had the braised beef short ribs anagnolotti, bucatini Ala carbonara, radiatore arrabiata and garganelli lamb ragu. Would recommend the radiatore areaviata and the bucatini if you like long pasta noodles. For dessert we had complimentary gelato, the pistachio cake, Piemontese and gianduja, pana cotta. They were all good but my favorite was the piemontese for the sole purpose of the hazelnut. Service was quick, and they were very direct with what they had and didn't have In stock. The setting is dark so it gives a more Intimate or date night experience. read more
