    My first experience here was great. My wife and I had a date night here and highly enjoyed it. I brought my family back and was sadly disappointed all around. Frankly a little embarrassed that I spoke so highly of the place and suggested we dine here. The waitress couldn’t recommend any wines and I was immediately concerned how the rest of the experience would go. The arancini and carciofi was yummy but the delight stopped there. My chicken parm wasn’t breaded and the marinara was a cheap flavorless version of a simple sauce. The carbonara was lacking in noodle quality as well as richness in the cream, even the guanciale seemed closer to cheap bacon. My family didn’t want to box up their leftovers. That’s a first , we don’t waste food. I’m hoping my second experience was just a bad night for Sforno. I truly enjoyed the first.

    Fast service, decent food, and cute seating areas. Offered sticky menus and the table was not properly set or wiped down. Will not be eating here again.

    Food was excellent and so was the service. You feel like you’re dining in old Italy. Wine list was good. Could have more white wines. Excellent selection of red wines. Would definitely recommend.

    There so many great aspects of this restaurant. Walking in the front door immediately transports you to small town Italy where the food is great and the world is allowed to move slow enough to enjoy it. Abbey, our server, gave us an experience both professional and personal, interjecting with enthusiasm her passion for certain foods (she pinpointed and waxed poetic about at least 3/4 of the menu), and helped us customize to our individual tastes. She then continued to check in with us to ensure that everything was perfect within her ability. The wine listing was extensive and the food exhibited skill in very traditional Italian cookery. The Four Cheese Gnoochi was hardy and flavorful, while the meatballs were made with care. However, the tiramisu, which almost had an ice creamy texture, can only be defined as divine, and may be one of the best I have had. I look forward to our next visit and am appreciative of all who made our night special.

    Father's day dinner with my daughters, wnated to treat them and have a memorable meal...Ambience is great, felt like an intimate cafe in Italy, rustic, exposed brick very nice. The food was disappointing, ordered pomodoro bruschetta which came with barely toasted bread..."Bruschetta" refers to toasted/burned bread...also under seasoned. Main course was Vitello Parmigiana, figured this would be a signature dish at Sforno, was overcooked and very tough, almost like eating leather, (sorry Sforno usually do not like writing subpar reviews). duaghter ordered Scampetti alla Romana, which was average and not necessarily a main course... It was very busy when we ate, not sure the cooking staff were somewhat overwhelmed trying to serve a somewhat extensive menu...maybe simplify the menu and cook with consistent quality would be a suggestion...

    Always love our time at Sforno! A simple lunch with Polpette Alla Romana antipasti followed by mista and sforno salads and pizza. Simple fare perhaps but the tastes were authentic and properly balanced spice wise. And the red sangria is perfect for lunch.

    This is our favorite restaurant in all of Colorado. It’s truly authentic Italian and everything from sport to dessert is outstanding here. We were celebrating a birthday and ask our server to pace our meal slowly. He was more than willing to accommodate, and he subtly kept an eye on us to make sure he was in sync. The Colorado trout was the best fish dish I’ve ever had and the tiramisu was rich, creamy and packed with flavor. The table bread and olive oil could be a meal with some cheese but don’t skip dinner. You will be sorry.
