Best Lunch Restaurants in Boulder

5-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! 🍷🍝✨

What an *excellent* restaurant! Surprisingly fine cuisine at very reasonable prices. The space is relaxed and casual, and the varied menu suggests "comfort food" but the dishes are conceived thoughtfully and prepared carefully, even elegantly. How do they make their "skillet cornbread' so rich & savory? Service was great, very efficient & attentive The cocktails are imaginative and artistic creations, and there's a well-curated list of wines & beers. Happy Hour is truly a bargain. It's hard to understand why there's ever an empty table in the house.

Seats are hard wood, very uncomfortable. The establishment needs to provide cushions, different chairs, or something.

We had a great Valentines event and the experience was awesome from the fabulous meal and the great service detail from Andrew during our time there. It was truly special and a great place to celebrate Valentines! We had a fabulous time that will not be forgotten! Thanks!!!!

Great experience bringing friends from out of town. Will definitely bring more guests again.
