In March of 2006, Ron Suhanosky and wife Colleen Marnell-Suhanosky opened their restaurant Sfoglia on 92nd and Lexington, diagonally across from the 92nd Street Y.

“...it has amassed a sizeable following, and for these devotees,” New York Times restaurant critic Frank Bruni wrote, “it’s not just a restaurant. It’s a religion.”

And Our Town explained:

Both chefs have Italian roots, and Ron traces his passion for Italian cooking to the Sundays he spent with his mother’s Italian side of the family growing up. “I was fortunate enough to have a great-grandmother for most of my childhood,” Ron said. “I would look at her happiness in the kitchen and think to myself, ‘I want to be that happy.’”

Keeping it local, on Oct 21, For Feasting with Sfoglia: Bringing Italian Culture to Your Table Ron will be here with his cookbook coauthor Susan Simon, and Nach Waxman, owner of Kitchen Arts and Letters (another store right around the corner), for a discussion of all things Italian, the distinctive character of Italian food and cooking and the ways in which Italian culture influences everyday life.

Of course, a Sfoglia antipasti treat will be served.

p.s. Our Italian language class starts this Oct 5.
