The New York City Sfoglia has received 2 (out of 4, with 2 defined as “very good”) stars from New York Times food critic Frank Bruni last week, headlined “Rustic With a Dash of Sophistication”. Mr. Bruni had been unimpressed in his first review soon after Ron Suhanosky and Colleen Marnell-Suhanosky opened last summer. As the reviewer wrote: “What was flawed has since been fixed; what was good has remained so or become better.” Here are more quotes - you’ll find the full story here.
“A dish of pasta this fantastic [the fusilli], its sauce of cream and vin santo applied with restraint and leavened cunningly by shredded carrot, convinces a person that whatever path led him to it should be embraced more often.
“Light streams through its big picture windows, burnishing the gigantic bowls of vegetables and fruit that sit on or near its proudly mismatched tables, where places are set with dish towels instead of napkins.
“Since Sfoglia opened a year ago, it has amassed a sizeable following, and for these devotees it’s not just a restaurant. It’s a religion.
“. . . Not a showy bid for greatness but a sensible attempt at goodness by two seemingly earnest restaurateurs who want to make a go of it in Manhattan, where success doesn’t come easy.
“Sfoglia hits a sweet spot between simplicity and sophistication, both in its look and its food.”
And there’s something about Sfoglia’s scale, coupled with the warmth of its cooking, that make you want to call this restaurant your own and return here time and again.
