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 4:45pmreservation time, which is always a good sign. Did not disappoint: all of the dishes were amazing! The linguine vongole wasdelicious, tons of flavor without being overly salty. My family loved the lasagna, it looks deceptively small, but the hiddenmeat 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. Tablesare fitted a little bit close together, which reminds me of NYC dining, but the decor was very cute and charming with awonderful ambiance. So glad we finally made it to this wonderful spot!

Sforno is absolutely amazing. This restaurant is out of this world and is beyond incredibly delicious. I cannot recommend this... restaurant enough to anybody in the area. This is a must go if you are visiting boulder. Absolutely everything on the menu isdelicious, made fresh and ready to go. If you don't try any other restaurant in the area, make sure you try this one. Read more

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 veryover cooked and soft or almost crunchy. Service was friendly. Nice atmosphere and location of the restaurant. The inside lookslike a courtyard. Good complimentary bread. The cannelloni was more shaped like ravioli- we wonder if we even got the rightdish. Read more

I don’t know what to say, but this place was terrible. We ordered the veal and then a chicken dish. First off the portions are... gigantic which sounds good but it usually points to low quality food which was very apparent. The gnocchi tasted like it wasfrozen and the veal was definitely flash frozen and then deep fried. The chicken dish we had was literally swimming in sauce andoil to the point that my wife couldn’t even eat it and it was straight nauseating. Once we told the server that we couldn’teat it because it’s swimming in oil and gross her response was “do you want a box to take it home?” …..uhhh clearly thelights are on but nobody is home. The manager only approved 70% off the dish even though we only ate two bites of it, the excusewas that we didn’t send it back earlier. Well our server only delivered our food and then checked on us after 20 mins,horrible service, horrible food, horrible management. Go somewhere else. Read more

This place was terrible. I ordered a pasta, that most of the broccoli was stems and the chicken looked canned. Pasta was under... done. And the whole dish had no taste. My son ordered a pizza took 1 bite and did not like, too me it seemed a little doughy. Other son ordered spaghetti and meatballs he took a few bites, but was not a fan of the sauce. It tasted off and he could liveoff noodles. My mother ordered a pasta and her shrimp was was over cooked and sauce was really runny. Was not offered anythingoff or anything else. Paid $75.00 for food we did not eat or even take with us. Let's not forget how warm the water was andit's 90 degrees outside. Please offer ice. We have been walking around all day. Read more

Great food. The Lasagna is my wife’s favorite, I enjoyed a tasty pizza with a nice bottle of Brunello. Kids both really... enjoyed their food as well. Cute place, cozy yet very nice. Charismatic owner brought out a couple Grappa’s for us to try.First time in, excellent spot. Will be back! Read more

One lunch, but I loved my butter and sage Gnocchi - definitely my top 3 - maybe a little salty, but I've never been a fan of... salt. The panini chicken was a little dry (I didn't try it, the other foodie told me) but the bread on the panini was fantastic,as was the starter bread and dipping sauce (olives, and oil is my guess). I'll definitely come back to try out a few moreitems... Read more

the food here is about as authentic as you can get in Boulder. one of my only complaints that it's a bit cramped and hard to... move (but that may have just been where I was sitting). The menu is huge, almost like reading an essay! I recommend getting anyof the antipasti (the eggplant is simply amazing). The waiters are super sweet, even when they seemed a bit stressed. I lovedeverything I got but the rotolo, but that dish doesn't reflect on everything. The creme brulee might have been the best I'veever had! Pricey, but I would say it's worth it. Read more
