When my friend and I visited Sforno Trattoria Romana in Boulder, CO, we went in with certain expectations, driven by the restaurant’s traditional look. Unfortunately, the experience didn’t quite measure up.

To start the atmosphere is absolutely amazing! I’ve traveled to Italy and it truly feels like you’re eating in a restaurant in Rome. The issue we had with this restaurant was the food and service. The food wasn’t very good, some of it was cold while other parts were hot. It didn’t feel like there was anything different from this food vs something like Olive Garden. The service was very spotty, when we sat down to eat there was a dirty fork on the table along with missing silverware. On top of that it was very hard getting the waiters attention. Overall 4/10

I went there with my friends. The staff were excellent. Extremely friendly and helpful. The drinks and the appetizers were great. We had the calamari and the burrata. The calamari was cooked to perfection. I ordered the creamy seafood pasta and felt it to be a little bland. My friend like the risotto. It is a good place to come for a date or an occasion and right in pearl street.

Food came out within five minutes, everything at different temps (some things were boiling hot, others lukewarm, one verging on cold.) Tried a few things across the menu; the bolognese smelled and tasted like wet dog. Great service & drinks, otherwise. Pricey, but felt cheap… I’ll try em again somewhere down the road just to see if it was an off day.

My family and I had a really good time at Sforno. Staff is friendly and the food was really great!. I loved my bucatini alla amatriciana and the other pastas we ordered were also really good. Place is cozy and feels like home. Thank you for a good meal!.

Sforno Trattoria Romana is a must-visit for lovers of authentic Italian cuisine in Boulder, Colorado! Their spaghetti is cooked to perfection, with just the right amount of bite and a rich, flavorful sauce that will transport you straight to Italy. The lobster ravioli is a true delicacy, with tender pieces of lobster encased in homemade pasta and topped with a creamy sauce that is simply divine. Pair your meal with a glass of their great rose wine, and you have the perfect combination of flavors.

According to our server, Sforno has been on Pearl Street for over 30 years, and under the current ownership for about 8 years. Can’t believe this was the first time anyone from my family has dined here! The restaurant was already packed for our 4:45pm reservation time, which is always a good sign. Did not disappoint: all of the dishes were amazing! The linguine vongole was delicious, tons of flavor without being overly salty. My family loved the lasagna, it looks deceptively small, but the hidden meat in the sauce made it a very filling dish. They have happy hour specials all week until 6pm for both food and drink options, so we shared a delicious pizza and I enjoyed a refreshing cocktail. Can’t go wrong with a tiramisu to cap off a meal. Tables are fitted a little bit close together, which reminds me of NYC dining, but the decor was very cute and charming with a wonderful ambiance. So glad we finally made it to this wonderful spot!

Excellent food. The food came out quickly after placing order. Service could be improved and nothing to be remembered. Chairs was wobbly and tables were close to one another.

The avocado bruschetta and the cannelloni were just amazing. So delicious!

Charlie Ashworth
Mediocre food. Overcooked penne that fell apart. Super cheesy dishes. Large portions. Squash blossoms were “tempura fried” on the menu but actually just deep fried and very oily. Quite expensive for the quality. Eggplant was in chunks and either very over cooked and soft or almost crunchy. Service was friendly. Nice atmosphere and location of the restaurant. The inside looks like a courtyard. Good complimentary bread. The cannelloni was more shaped like ravioli- we wonder if we even got the right dish.
