The question is about WHERE to get, not HOW to make. Have you considered that they are going out anyhow and want to find a place with this specific dish? People like you are exhausting.

Really good versions at Roses Luxury and Centrolina. It’s so simple, but I also have not had luck at home. Alfredo sauce on the other hand is a breeze and I can’t believe I have paid for that in the past.

I've tried several times to make this at home, and always end up with clumpy, sticky cheese. How do I make it smooth???

No, I think it’s a pretty common and standard Roman dish…but it’s less popular among Italian American families in the US.

I like sfoglinas. It was comfort food to me when I was pregnant.

Anyone have a particularly good one in the DMV? I know it’s a pretty basic dish, but not everyone serves it. Pretty bummed they don’t have it at Filomena!
