Rank 4. Sfoglina
Italian
A cheerful Arlington trattoria built around a working pasta station where fresh sheets emerge throughout service. The menu tours Italy's regions through handmade shapes—tortelloni folded around braised pork, ravioli stuffed with herbed goat cheese—alongside Rome's carbonara, its bucatini properly dressed with guanciale and pecorino. The pasta itself is the point here.
