La Sfoglia

A Bologna trattoria, written like the cookbook it cooks from — egg pasta rolled by hand, one sheet at a time.

Fig. 1 — the morning's pasta, before service.

In Bologna they call her the sfoglina — the woman who rolls the sheet. Ours starts before the sun: eggs and flour, no water, worked by hand until the dough turns silk, then rolled so thin the light comes through.

What follows is not a website so much as a menu you read like a recipe book. Turn the page.

Tortelli di zucca with brown butter, sage and Parmigiano on a pale plate

Tortelli di zucca

pumpkin · brown butter · sage · Parmigiano

Romagna's autumn parcel — sweet squash and a whisper of amaretto and mostarda, sealed in thin sheets, dressed in nothing more than nut-brown butter and fried sage.

The test in Bologna: lay the sheet over newsprint and you should be able to read it through.

Emilia-Romagna · rosso
Lambrusco
di Sorbara
frizzante · secco
$44

A list that argues with the food — in the good way.

Lambrusco is not the sweet stuff you remember. Chilled, dry, faintly sparkling, its acidity is built to cut through ragù and cream. Alongside it: Sangiovese di Romagna with some age, mineral Pignoletto, and a handful of bottles from friends we trust. All Italian, all by the glass or bottle.
