Sfoglina Van Ness

We had such a wonderful dinner experience here last night. The staff was incredibly attentive and thoughtful toward me, my husband, and our baby, which made the whole evening feel relaxed and welcoming. It’s not always easy dining out with a little one, but they made us feel so comfortable and taken care of.

The food was excellent as always—delicious, well-prepared, and consistently great. We had a really lovely time and left very happy. Definitely one of our favorite spots, and we look forward to coming back.

Great atmosphere with classy, interesting touches like vintage pasta making tools, abstract chandelier, eating nooks including a pretty cute private room for parties. We sat on the covered patio in cold weather and were cozy with their heaters and garden decor (roses, spanish moss). Had the house made pasta special with wild mushrooms, fresh herbs and cheese. Tried a bite of my husband's gnocchi bowl and it was deep with flavor. Slightly expensive but worth it.

Food was amazing! I love pasta and the pappardelle bolognese was perfection. The side spinach was flavorful and garlicky and the deviled eggs were so good. Typically I don’t do more than one drink but I had the bottomless with a peach Bellini, berry Bellini, and the Roman Bloody Mary. That was one of THE best Bloody Marys I have had to date! Jocelyn was the best hostess and the staff were so friendly! Can’t wait to go back.

This is an amazing restaurant. The staff makes you feel like you are a VIP and the food is delicious. Highly recommend the short rib pasta.

Sfoglina Van Ness delivers solid, fresh Italian food in a cozy, casual setting. The pasta is fresh and flavorful, and the sauces are well-balanced—definitely shows attention to detail. The staff was friendly and helpful, though service was a bit slow during my visit. Still, it’s a reliable spot for a tasty, relaxed meal, and I’d return to try more dishes.

We had a wonderful experience! Sat at the bar and had the Shrimp scampi and white bean hummus appetizers, which were great. The happy hour super Tuscan is a great red. The chicken Parm is super tasty and the Shishido peppers are a great side. Only disappointment was the meatball appetizer which was flat. Special shout out to Justin at the bar. He's great!

Very competent Italian food. Decent wine list. Friendly service.

The bartender is awesome, the food is decent seems fresh, but small portions and very pricey. For the price I think it would be super tasty and authentic but I don't think it's always worth it. Always spend a lot of money there. But I like the bartender and it's not bad just not equitable for the price but if money is no object....

The service was good and our entrees came out so fast that we hadn't even gotten to our appetizers. The offerings are pretty typical Italian with a emphasis on classic pastas. The Chitarra Fra Diavolo - pasta with shrimp - was quite good, although the menu said it was spicy shrimp and I really didn't get very much heat. The garlic bread was also good, although we had asked for just the plain bread, so that was a little odd. The pappardelle dish was very nice. Unfortunately, they did not have the Italian Macedonia for dessert, which was disappointing because it sounded so good, but the vanilla and peach swirled gelato was great. Overall, a lovely restaurant with good service.

The service was good but the food was tasteless. I had to order more cheese to give it a taste of something. Pricy for what it is, we ordered and the food was ready in 7 minutes, it look like preheated in the microwave.

We had a truly lovely evening at this restaurant, and it’s definitely worth a visit. From the start, the drinks were spot on and the bread with oil was just perfect for nibbling. We tasted a range of dishes, from seafood pasta to a rich bolognese and some absolutely delicious truffle ravioli. Even the kids’ menu was a hit, which is always a win.

The atmosphere really stands out, it’s beautiful, quiet, and has this charming old-school Italian decor that makes you feel right at home. Seating is comfortable and cozy, though I will say parking can be a bit tricky, so plan a little extra time for that. Overall, it’s a delightful spot for a family dinner or a special night out.
