I was served a tiny cup of Prosecco (sippy cup sized) and ordered a HALF order of the pasta Bolognese and it was forty-five bucks. The food is good, nothing to rave about (the bread is pretty great), but the prices are ridiculous, even for the upper east side. The new room, too, is dark, crowded and very hot. Plus every time the door opens, the smoke from the smokers outside overwhelms you. I used to love Sfoglia. Not anymore.

I've eaten here about a dozen times, and it's always been really good. I only had a problem once — a pasta dish that was slightly burned on the bottom. Not only did they quickly bring me a properly cooked one, but comped everything but the wine. They're opening a satelite downtown somewhere, so that should take some of the pressure off this one. Meanwhile, if you're a walk-in, try lunchtime. And yes, the bread is to die for. And their own marinated olives are delish.

Have now been to Sfoglia 3 times. Had one very good meal, and 2 that were just OK. Not overly expensive, but not cheap either. $28 for overcooked linguine with clams? Give me a break. Babbo serves the same dish for $21, and Babbo's is considerably better.

Been meaning to try but always turned away cause it always is booked and I never make reservations-just spontaneous . Anyway I sat at bar. The hospitality and food was superb! I read negative reviews after I dined there-those people are crazy because I had nothing less than great food in a cozy intimate setting. Even one of my best friend's tried to convince me I wouldn't like it-wrong! And FYI-I am an extreme foodie.

Slow service, strange uncomfortable seating, a dank smell in lower room all detracted from some fairly good food and average wine. The music was bizarre and the front room incredibly cramped and noisy. Completely overrated and disappointing under any circumstances but particularly after having to go to great lengths to get a reservation to eat in my own neighborhood.

Service was pleasant, but slow. It took ten minutes just to get water, twenty for our drinks. The waiter knew little about the wine and had to ask another waiter what a sunchoke was. Bread is as good as everyone says in their reviews, but we had to wait twenty minutes until it appeared. The appetizers were wonderful: the spaghetti with braised duck was as good a pasta dish as I have ever had. But my chicken al mattone (chicken under a brick) was so salty that I had to send it back (I've only done this two or three times in my life) after three or four bites because my mouth began to tingle, and since it had take so long at that point I declined a substitute. Instead of the waiter, a busboy brought a macarpone dessert, telling us it compliments of the chef, which turned out to be an empty gesture since none of us at the table like mascarpone. They should have just comped us on a dessert or asked us to choose something. Then it took twenty minutes to get the check. All in all, good food, mediocre service, medium wine list of about 15 good whites and 15 good reds. For the price, not worth it.

I took my friend here for her birthday and was disappointed. Most of the seating for 2 is at a table for 4 with another couple, as was ours. Nothing to look at. For 2 drinks, a split fish entree, 1 veg , a split rissotto (too rich and creamy, and not that good) & split dessert the bill was almost $130, before tip. Nothing was like waiter described. Food was not special at all. Definitely will not go back.
