Any expert opinion would be appreciated.

Have you tried Paola's on 92nd & Madison? I think the Italian food there is quite good, and I had a fabulous lemon tart the last time I was there. I think it might be slightly more expensive. That said, I enjoy the food at Sfoglia and don't think that it is unreasonably priced for what it is.

Sandro's on 81st bet. 2nd & 1st.
Authentic Italian that tastes like Rome.
Sfoglia is a rip off with an attitude and their food is not real Italian.
