- CChrisDenver / Colorado •22 reviews5.0Dined 1 day ago5-Star Review for Sforno Trattoria – A Must-Visit in Boulder! Sforno Trattoria is an absolute gem in Boulder! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm hospitality and a cozy, authentic Italian atmosphere. Every dish we tried was nothing short of spectacular. The Cannelloni was fantastic—perfectly baked with a rich, savory filling. The Tortelloni Boscaiola was indulgent and bursting with flavor, with just the right balance of creaminess and spice from the Vodka sauce base. Pairing it with a wonderful glass of Cabernet elevated the experience even further. And for the grand finale, the tiramisu was simply divine—light, airy, and the perfect sweet ending to an incredible meal. Sforno Trattoria exceeded all expectations, and we can’t wait to come back. If you’re looking for authentic Italian cuisine with exceptional flavors and great service, this is the place to go. Highly recommend! 🍷🍝✨More infoSforno TrattoriaPrice: Moderate• Italian• Boulder•4.4

Outstanding service by Will who was very helpful in recommending creative cocktails and wine, and all the servers who delivered piping hot dishes to our table. The meal was excellent from the bread selection, both savory and sweet, through the four course fixe prix menu. We sat in the cozy and welcoming dining area where we could watch the chefs creating the dishes and we loved it. Lovely night. We will definitely be returning to this gem.More infoBramble & HarePrice: Very Expensive• Farm-to-table• Boulder•4.6
- EEllenDenver / Colorado •52 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoOnce again, our experience was amazing sitting at the Chef's Counter. The chef's know their stuff in this kitchen, and it's a learning experience too when the chef's describe the ingredients and process for each dish. These chefs are passionate about their food and the ingredients used. The cocktails are very creative and perfect. We will be back again and again.More infoCozobi Fonda FinaPrice: Expensive• Mexican• Boulder•4.9
