Fabio and Maria Trabocchi are opening a Van Ness restaurant devoted to pasta

Fabio and Maria Trabocchi's restaurant group is adding a new addition in the District.

The married restaurateurs -- he the chef, she a little bit of everything -- plan to open Sfoglina in Van Ness in the fall of 2016, adding to a lineup that already includes Fiola, Fiola Mare and Casa Luca. In Italian, a sfoglina is a woman who makes pasta, often by hand with a wooden board and rolling pin. So, as you might have guessed, pasta will be the restaurant's specialty.

Sfoglina will feature such handmade pastas, as well as fresh varieties extruded by machines in-house and dry varieties imported from Italy. The menu will be rounded out with antipasti, salads, salumi, cheese, meat and fish entrees and desserts.

Sfoglina will occupy 2,800 square feet along Connecticut Avenue NW, with a possibility of up to 1,000 square feet of patio space. It will serve lunch, dinner and Sunday brunch.

Sfoglina, 4445 Connecticut Ave. NW. Opening fall 2016.
