Reviews of Broders' Pasta Bar

Phillip Conley Jr

This place has a buzz in the city, and I must say this establishment met the hype of the buzz. I throughly enjoyed my experience here. Staff understand the type of establishment they serve in, an atmosphere is family oriented and cozy. Staff were extremely friendly. The menu has seasonal options but offers solid classic dishes. This is one of three aspects of Broders, the other two locations are across the street (deli and wine bar) When I return, I'm going to ask for a double serving of pasta with my meal, the first meal I experienced was amazing, I'm curious to see what a double portion is like. This is a great place to have intimate, friendly conversation. Let me know what you think when you visit.

Miguel Ramos

Very efficient staff and outstanding food. Portions are just right and delicious. 15% non gratuity fee added per check but looks like why the staff operates efficiently and happily.

We've been wanting to try Broader's for a while and it didn't disappoint. They don't take reservations, so be ready to wait a bit. We came in on a Friday around 5:10 and the wait time was around 30 mins. The service was great and our waiter helped us with their menu. Waters were topped off at all times. Drinks were good and priced right. My wine was good and really complemented the entree. We got the Burrata's appetizer and it was good. I just wish the cheese had a litle more salt. The entrees were the highlight. The 2 pastas we ordered were really good and cooked al dente. Very flavorful with layers and layers of texture. For dessert, we got their tiramisu and it was very good too. We will have to come back multiple times to try their different pastas. Keep up the great work guys.

I read about this restaurant in an article and since I love pasta, I didn't want to miss out. They don't accept reservations. Because I was dining alone, I was quickly seated at the bar. And as soon a I sat down, I was given some water, a variety of breads and oil & herbs. The server came to take my order rather quickly. The one thing I didn't do was peruse the menu long enough or ask questions. I selected a safe option and I've been kicking myself about it ever since. I selected the seasonal pasta, Olive Ripiene and a glass of Lugana. The pasta was good, but my seat at the bar gave me a bird's eye view on every dish that came out. There were so many different types of pasta. By the looks, I think I would've enjoyed the #4 (beef short ribs) or #15 (crab ravioli)more than what I selected. Oh, but let me rave about the Olive Ripiene which are olives stuffed with Italian sausage and deep fried. They are served right out of the frying so they can be hot, but they are heavenly. If it's within your diet, they're a MUST TRY! I don't normal get dessert, but I treated myself to a berry crostata. It was really good, but I was so stuffed that I couldn't finish it. As I sat after dinner, I observed the "pasta station". The kitchen have perfected this operation and it runs like a well oiled machine. It's s sight to see. This restaurant is located in a really nice area outside of the city. FYI - I took an Uber out and the price to return to downtown nearly doubled on the way back. So, I'd suggest if coming by Uber to come earlier. I left around 7 pm and there were so many people seated outside awaiting a seat. If ever I come back to visit, I'd most definitely come back.

My wife & I had dinner at Broders this evening (10/21). This particular night was special because we were celebrating our 3rd wedding anniversary. We have driven by Broders on a number of occasions always saying we wanted to give it a try, so we figured tonight was a good opportunity! It was very busy, so we ended up waiting around 50ish minutes for seats to open up. While we waited, we sat outside by the fire and enjoyed a glass of wine that was recommended by Collin at their hallway bar. He was very knowledgeable and kind, helping me select what I thought was a great red wine. We eventually got seated at the bar and had the pleasure of having Rocky as our server. Though it was busy, he handled it like a true professional! My wife & I shared a small caesar salad, which was great. I enjoyed the small bit of anchovies that came on top, really added to the salad in my opinion. My wife had the Fettuccine Con Manzo (#3 on the menu) while I had the Pappardelle Con Coniglio (#20 on the menu). For both dishes the pasta was cooked perfectly. The beef tenderloin in my wife's pasta was wonderful & really went well with the mushrooms! My pasta had rabbit and it was probably the best I've had. We both recommend each pasta dish! For dessert, we choose to share the Bestia Nera (flourless chocolate cake). We also ordered our own lattes. It was the perfect way to end our evening! The cake was delicious and paired well with the lattes. Overall, we both were happy that we got to have a great meal in a great environment for our anniversary. We will definitely be back!

Good restaurant and ambiance. Has plenty of parking. Check out their to go and grocery store across the street. Quick service. Good selection for vegetarians, gluten-free and vegans as well

Csaba Andrasfi

We were in Uptown and this came up as a highly recommend Italian restaurant. It was Friday night for dinner, so it took about 30-40 minutes to be seated. The waiting area was pretty small and cramped with groups waiting to be seated. They did have a desk in the waiting area to order drinks while you wait. The parking was also a bit of a challenge, but were able to get a spot in their parking lot. While I waited for a spot to open, I did witness an older gentleman slip and fall as he was getting out of a car, definitely need to be careful as you're walking into the restaurant. We ordered one of their appetizers on their specials menu, but forgot what it was called. Unfortunately, it was not even close to what we expected, the description was not even close to what it tasted like. For the main corse, my wife had the Rosmarino with Chicken, which was good, but needed some extra seasoning to make it better. She actually ended up eating a decent amount of my meal. I had the Rigatoni Con Salsicce, which was really good, I would highly recommend. Just the right amount of spicy and it did not feel heavy. We may give Broders' another chance at earning 5 stars, but overall our first experience was more of a 3.5-4 stars, especially when having higher hopes from previous raters. It does sound like it has great potential.

Emily Bevelacque

I have been meaning try this place for years. I have been eating at the deli my whole life. I took my co workers from out of town and we had a nice dinner. I enjoyed my pasta and look forward to eating more of the menu.

Jeff Hamer

Visiting from out of town, and had an amazing dinner at Broders’. The mushroom Risotto was just perfect and the Fettuccine Con Manzo was to die for. Thanks for a great evening with our family!

Hot Seat Reviews

I had the privilege to be served by Rocky at the bar. The food “ Fettuccini Con Manzo “ was delicious and the wine pairing that he recommended was delicious. I sat and watched the noodle chef pan sauce plate after plate of authentic Italian pasta. The inside can be loud and seating is limited so plan accordingly. It was everything I expected going in but I was definitely impressed with the service I received so 5 stars ⭐️.

Sinwon Dave Kim

It was great Pasta place to visit. Its not that expensive guys. Yeah they charge extra for wage equality, but dishes aren't that expensive and servers were super nice.

Andrew Hou

Fantastic! The pasta came out steaming hot and it was delicious - they have a daily special pasta and risotto, and a selection of rotating dishes as well as a set of evergreen pastas and risottos. Appetizers were also lovely - I especially enjoyed the roasted cauliflower. We finished with desert, trying an excellent tiramisu as well as a beautifully presented peach cheesecake with the top bruleed to give the impression of a grilled peach. Definitely a restaurant worth returning to!

Kristin

Came here for some apps and wine. The bread they start you out with is great. I ordered the burrata because I was craving that and some wine. As you can see from the picture it looks more like a salad served with a tiny piece of burrata. I was very disappointed in it. It was good but not what I would consider a burrata app. I order burrata to focus on eating that not greens. I decided to order the calamari next and that was awesome! Perfectly fried, great greens with it and served with the aioli underneath. I ended up mixing it up like a salad with dressing and loved every bite. My husband enjoyed his muscles. Pretty unique with sausage and corn in them. They weren’t served with the toasted bread as described though but we had plenty of bread with the bread basket and toasted bread that came with my app. The muscle broth was great to soak the bread in. I was sad to learn that they no longer had squid ink pasta on their menu. That was the reason this restaurant had been on my list to try. Hannah was our server and she was great. Very attentive and gave wonderful recommendations on wine and food.

Elizabeth B

Wow! This is real fresh pasta and everything that goes with it. We used to live right by this place and came back to see our neighborhood. We were delighted by the quality and service. The Panna Cotta with raspberry sauce was creamy, smooth, but not too firm.

J Lopez

Nice casual pasta bar. Food was good, not out of this world but its worth going in. However the dessert wine (vin santo) and triple berry crostata were very delicious!

Lauren Lathrop

Cozy neighborhood restaurant highlighting wine and house-made pasta. Very busy but runs like a well oiled machine. Great seasonal pasta.

Savanna Janicki

I finally got to Broders for the first time and I can not believe it’s taken me so long! It was definitely one of my favorite dining experiences I’ve had in a while. We sat at the bar and the service was amazing. The bread was very good and perfect to munch on while you wait for your order. My friend and I each got an entree and both were absolutely delicious. I can not wait to be back!

Theresa Kasner

What a wonderful experience we had. The server gave us a wine tasting of 5 different wines since we didn't know anything about Italian wines. The homemade pasta was amazing. I will definitely go back to this place.

Nathan Small

If you find yourself in the area and want a both authentic and delicious pasta dish, this should be your go-to. The wait to get in can get quite lengthy during peak hours, however it is worth it. Everything from the complimentary assortment of breads to the pasta is fantastic. The noodles are freshly made and you can see your dishes being prepared right nearby. Flavors of the pasta are not only authentic but go well together. It is no wonder why Broders' was named the best pasta restaurant in Minnesota. Unique experience and hope to visit again soon.

Liz vM

The pastas and risottos here are amazing! Plus they have so many options that everyone is sure to find something they like. Have dined in for dinner several times here. They don’t take reservations which I find both a good and bad thing. Depending on when you go you may have to wait awhile but it is worth the wait! There is only a small hallway to wait in or they have an area outside with heaters in the winter but you can order drinks while you wait.

Sydney Blake

We sat on the patio and it was lovely. Everyone was very attentive and professional. Our waiter recommended the pasta special and the linguine al pesto and we had the rhubarb panna cotta for dessert. Absolutely delicious. Definitely coming back here.

jonah sigel

This is a good, local "family" feeling Italian joint where the food isn't fancy and the servers make you feel special becuse they've been there for 100 years. Portion sizes are generous, and prices reasonable. You can tell everything is made fresh because you can tell people care. Go early because there is likely a wait. Only warning, only beer and wine

Scott Stelzner

We had a wonderful experience celebrating our daughter's birthday. Each of us loved the appetizer, antepasto, and all entrees. My crab ravioli was one of the best meals I've ever had! Fast, attentive service, and excellent recommendations by our server. Bravo!

Deborah Uhlemann

This restaurant has been reliable and consistent for many years. The atmosphere is friendly and fun, the service efficient, and the food delicious. There are real anchovies for the salads. There are many varieties of tasty pastas. I especially like the squash ravioli with parmesan and walnuts. There is something for everyone.

Tara Pereira

My boyfriend and I got broders takeout for Vday - it’s been on our list of twin cities restaurants to try for so long! It definitely did not disappoint. We had to order online early because they were booking up, but their online system wasn’t working for us so we called and they were extremely helpful over the phone. I got pasta with truffle cream and prosciutto and I LOVED it. I’m obsessed with truffle and was worried I wouldn’t get enough flavor but it was perfect. My boyfriend got the bolognese and said it was great. The only thing we weren’t a huge fan of was the truffle ricotta we got as an appetizer. I’m not sure if it just didn’t travel well (it was a 20 min drive) but the texture was a little weird and flavor wasn’t really there. Overall though, an appetizer and 2 entrees for $60 seems well priced to me and the pastas were amazing. Also curbside pickup was efficient and easy. We’ll definitely be back!

Jacob Schmitt

Fantastic homemade pasta. Fettuccini con Manzo is highly recommended! Calamari was also delicious

Mary Bach

Great food and service in a small space. Waiter urged us toward the most expensive items on the menu. I came in wanting a red sauce but switched to a cream sauce - which was very rich. The dining space became filled with the smell of over heated or burned oil for the last hour which was quite unpleasant. Not sure if something went wrong in the kitchen or if my sense of smell was overactive! 😂

Trevor N

Good food, good service, overall pleasant experience and will come back. The menu is authentic but somewhat hard to decipher if your not adept to that sort of thing, and the pre-meal bread option comes out cold with basic oil at the table. No flavor just filler essentially, which you will need because the portions are quite small.

Sue Lalama

We used Broders to cater our son's casual wedding party for 40 guests. We set up a buffet with appetizers, salads, lasagna, and risotto. It was all so delicious. The delivery driver arrived on time, and helped us unpack. Patsy helped me plan amounts, and choose options for guests' different dietary needs. They have vegetarian and gluten free options that worked well for our buffet. The salads were large, beautiful, and delicious. Guests kept complimenting the food throughout the evening. I highly recommend Broders for catering your events.

David Yutesler

Shared a large, delicious Greek salad and then had a pasta dish, similar to a beef stroganoff, but with a tomato-based sauce. Excellent! I once was a regular customer, but moved away from the neighborhood, so was thrilled to see that they are still open.

Kathy Ferrey

Please get rid of the15% Benefits & Equity Fee and pay your staff better wages. Consider applying the fee to food services only, but don't apply it to alcohol. I grabbed a drink at the bar and after tax, tip and the equity fee, the price for one glass of wine went from $13 to $20. This is not what the fee was designed for. With that said, I feel bad for the servers! They are not getting their proper tips anymore because people will leave zero thinking it's included or will leave a very small percentage.

Mitch D (MN-Psyco)

Great food and a wonderful environment. I reccomend getting here early

Chad Sivertson

Fresh amazing & great drinks. Best Italian restaurant. You can see its a neighborhood favorite. I proposed to my wife here so naturally we love this place.

Rachel Schmidt

One of my favorite activities is bringing people here for the first time. Everything I've ever ordered has been delicious, but I especially recommend the Penne Rosmarino (add spicy sausage), the Quadrucci #11 (so unique), the Carbonara, the Tagliarini di Locanda di Lupo, and the olive ripiene for an appetizer.

John Smith

Food was solid, service was great. I support the 15% mandatory gratuity but not a huge fan of then providing an additional tip on top of that, I think it takes advantage of the American tipping culture restaurants have helped to perpetuate and the fact that you're expected to tip, shamed if you don't. Maybe that's a personal failing in that I always tip more than the average.

Mical Caterina

Their pizza was a disaster! I ordered (2) 18" large cheese pizzas for my mothers' 90th birthday. (Btw, she's in hospice) After driving over an hour to get them, we opened in front of friends, family grandkids, etc.. to find 2 large slabs of cheese(only) on dough. I spent $64 on pizza, then they charged an additional 15% "benefits & equity" charge besides tax & tip. In a follow up Wendy (MGR @ Broders) issued us a refund

Francis Froehlich

The food and the service are excellent here! Loved it! The atmosphere is cozy but it is really crammed. They need a bigger space!

Rachel Herr

If you’re looking for the best date night special in the twin cities, look no further. You’ve found it! Not only is it an amazing deal, offered Sunday - Thursday, but the quality is unreal. Wine, olives, salad, bread and pasta for $45. What?! Crazy. Every bite, from start to finish, is perfect. If you haven’t been here yet, and you love pasta, you’re missing out! Oh, and get dessert. It’s not included, but it’s oh-so-worth-it!!

Diana Eide

I have seen this restaurant for a long time but never stopped. I’ve been to the little place across the street many times though. Food was ok for me. I had the orichette with spicy crab ragu and it was good. Not spectacular or anything. My husband had the spaghetti and meatballs and enjoyed it, but again, not anything amazing. I had the apple crostata for dessert and was a bit disappointed that it wasn’t warmer. I was told it had to go in the oven so it would take longer which I was fine with, but it was barely room temp when I got it. We’d go back, but not a place we’d go out of our way to return to.

Chelsie GawneMark

I love broders--my children and I go to this place often as we're neighbors and we're always treated well, the food is always great, and the wine well-selected. We really like Coleaha, Jeff, and Rocky. Awesome staff though all around. They are also very attentive to my dairy allergy. We especially like sitting up at the bar where we can watch the kitchen do their magic. They have a nice patio but with a different menu. I love their commitment to philanthropy and down syndrome advocacy. What a great way to get the message out through the menu. However, I do wish kiddos still could get a free 3 course meal on Monday nights with the purchase of an adult meal. That perfect atmosphere whether date night or family time--very European in that sense.

Erica Anderson

This was my first time at Broder's. The food was delicious. I appreciate they made an effort to keep their employees safe by having customers order their food at the bar as well as pay for their food.

Kim Larsen

Great place for our special occasion. Food delicious, wait staff attentive and despite it being pretty busy, quick service!

Helen Lindsay

We have been going to Broder’s for years and it is always amazing! I’m so glad to see they have expanded their vegan options and labeled their menu in the past few years. It really sets them apart!

Zelen

Impressive. The Burrata and Arancini are fantastic. The short rib pasta and Gnocchi are absolutely incredible. Rich, delicious, and downright perfect. Dessert was next level. Pumpkin cheesecake that doesn't go overboard on the pumpkin. The floorless chocolate cake is rich, dense, and decadent. 5 star service from Ruth, and the team in general. I felt very well taken care of.

Ryan Miller

We got pizza ...lasagna and desserts from here tonight. For 2 18 2 topping pizza...2 lasagna slices and 6 desserts was about 96 bucks. So bit on the expensive side for pizza but still very good. We .get it. Half baked sp we finishing cooking it. At home. We do this because the pizza is thinner crust and the integrity of the crust doesnt travel as well if its fully cooked for take out. You can eat in here but the one bar ...cucina is usually packed. Also the parking across the street is very tight. Street parking is tight also and is one of the biggest negatives to going any place in this area. All and all we recommend it. Great Italian food a bit on the expensive side but worth it.

Lulu Philips

“Broder’s Pasta Bar” sounds like an informal place with low prices. After getting urged by friends and family to eat there, I tried it and loved it, even though it’s more expensive than any other restaurant we go to. The food delights the pickiest foodie, and the pasta portions are generous. It is a small space, and usually very busy. When we have the money and want to celebrate something, we are fine with waiting a long time for a table. They text us when they have a table for us.

Nara Gomide

The food is amazing!! They didn’t have a wine as dry as I like and the food was quite spicy for Italian food, but I still highly recommend it!

K. L.

Phenomenal waitress, Kate. Kate was very helpful making our meal/wine selections and prompt getting our hot meals out to us. We tried Fried Olives, Fettuccine del Trout, Pasta Del Giorgio/shrimp, Risotto Del Giorno/chicken , (the favorite of our 3 meals). We thought all three meals could of had more protein. The homemade pasta was excellent. The wine, 1/2 carafe of Valtenesi/ Pratello, smooth full flavor red. For desert, Bestia Nera, perfect rich chocolate pie to share between the 3 of us. Broders' honors our military with a 10% discount on the entire meal.

Ryan Kent

So consistent and superior. It’s maybe cheating - anywhere they make their own pasta has a leg up, but they really excel at simple combinations of high quality ingredients. The menu is always changing to highlight in season and local ingredients. I’ve had pasta in Italy that wasn’t this good.

Jennifer Sobota

Visited this week with friends for Restaurant Week, but opted to order off the regular menu. I tried the orecchette con pesto bietole and it very rich and delicious. Dessert was Rhubarb Panna Cotta with a strawberry puree on the side. Equity and benefits charge is confusing to me. Do I still need to tip? Just need to clarify on the menu, it would be awkward to ask the server.

Noble Salwan

Great service, friendly staff, food came out quick, good portions, however…..food was mediocre. I had ordered the lamb pasta and it was just drenched with oil on the bottom. The beef pasta also tasted more oily than anything else. We wanted to like borders and had heard great things, but the food fell short. We love takeout from borders cucina and the sister restaurant terzo. Maybe it was just an off night.

Kimberly Fuhrman

Amazing food, wonderful atmosphere, top-notch chefs, and lovely wait staff! Service is incredible -- personable, spot-on wine pairings, attentive...I could go on and on! This visit we were seated at the rail and enjoyed watching the talent of your chefs and their attention to detail--they just don't stop!! During conversation we learned that our server, the couple next to us and my husband all had February birthdays....our evening wrapped up with a little 'surprise' dessert! What a thoughtful gesture - Thank you!! We live an hour west but make a point to drive in for an always enjoyable and DELICIOUS night out!

Allen Mary

Everything was great. The fries were thin cut and crispy. I took a piece of the chocolate torte home. The slice was big and I was able to get two days worth.

wdinham1

I don't remember the name of the dish I had but it was made with their own Italian sausage and rigatoni. It was the most delicious thing I have ever eaten. Highly recommend this place.

Mark Blanchard

One of our favorite spots in the twin cities - best Italian in town, great service, great staff (hey Rocky), and cute atmosphere. Also, try their chocolate truffles for dessert - you won't regret it.

Justin Howell

My girlfriend and I spent our 1 year anniversary here and I’ve got to say it was exceptional. Loved the atmosphere provided by this place and the food was top tier! Thank you to the staff at Broder’s!

Sai Rohit Chimakurthi

Great food and amazing service. Loved the wine recommendations for the food I ordered. Will definitely go back and try more of their pasta.

Ilya Soroka

A busy, upscale, no reservations, neighborhood wine/pasta bar with fantastic service and wonderful fresh pasta. This is a place I have been coming to for years and it is consistantly a lovely experience.

Maple Sota

Great tasting food. Reason why this restaurant is listed on the top ten list of all Italian restaurants in Minneapolis. Friendly staff as well. Highly recommend.

Roxy Santa Ana

SO. GOOD! Since this place is popular and they don't take reservations, I definitely recommend coming a little bit early before they open to make sure you you get a table! I ordered the stringozzi w lobster and my bf couldn't decide between two so he order both of them: the penne rosmarino w the Italian sausage & the stringozzi alla spoletina -- and I gotta say, I'm happy he did because they were both delicious!

Ollie Cline

Delightful pasta! Great wine, great food, great service. Hands down one of my favorite places to get pasta with friends.

Justin Reller

The service was unmatched by most places, without a second to ask for anything everything was taken care of as soon as it could be thought of. Food was prepared excellent and hard to beat.

Nader Banilohi

Best pasta experience in the Twin Cities! Be prepared to wait around 30-45 minutes if you come during the prime hours! The menu has a great selection of appetizers and pastas. My recommendation would be the mussels for appetizers! You really can't go wrong with any of the pastas.

jes robles

Awesome service food and setting. I wish I lived near here I would definitely be a regular here. One of a kind place

Mike Kacher

This was my first post covid visit to Broders. The food is still good, but the value went out the window. $140 got me 1/2 bottle of wine, 1 appetizer, 1 entree and 1 restaurant week meal. I believe their 20% surcharge that isn't a tip is short sighted and eventually people will stop going to these places. There was a 30 minute wait on a Tuesday night so it hasn't slowed people yet. But it will at some point.

Mike Shadick

One of my absolute favorite pasta places in the cities. You can not go wrong with anything on the menu and the small wine list is packed with fantastic options. The wait staff is incredibly knowledgeable with both the food and wine list. Definitely give this place a try for a romantic date or celebration.

Casey Wheeler

Awesome food! Try a little something from each section. From fresh bread to salty olives. From crispy calamari to to any sort of pasta or risotto you could possibly be craving! Service is good but not great. Certainly knowledgeable but not very engaging.

Søren Petersen

Great food and a friendly waiter. Patio is lovely and cozy but the restaurant itself could use a bit more intimacy.

Sasank Gadiko

I was really impressed with the service, they made sure we were happy with what we ordered and regularly checked on us. Food was decent for the price. They dont accept reservations, usually a long wait time for weekend dinner.

Lynn Peters

Fabulous food and nice service. The menu is loaded with traditional and nontraditional pasta, risotto, and gnocchi. I ordered pasta with sausage in red sauce. . . simple but absolutely delicious. Very satisfying! This is a popular and busy place, so reservations are recommended. Also, the parking lot is tiny so you may need to park a couple blocks away.

Amy Solomon

Absolutely delicious handmade pasta. Went twice within a week once I tried it. First time we did have to wait an hour as the place is small but it was completely worth it. They offer small bites and drinks for purchase outside on the patio while you're waiting however.

Ellen Wall

Broder’s Pasta Bar hits perfectly every time. Delicious meal, worth however long you need wait to be seated (we waited about an hour, but we got drinks at the bar on the terrace in the meantime). Wonderful meal and a great place to gather for a small celebration.

Anne Clark

I love it here! This is a frequently date night spot for my husband and me. I brought a friend who hadn’t been and she was delighted. The seasonal special pastas never disappoint!!

M's Adventures

The food here is amazing! It's definitely a splurge price-wise, but for those special occasions Broders' is the perfect option. If you are dining in, expect amazing service.

Imen B.

Some of the best pasta I've had in Minnesota hands down! Will definitely be back!

Jenelle Miller

Excellent food, service, and recommendations. If you're looking for sophisticated Italian, this is your place!

Burke

Some of the best pasta in the cities and a great atmosphere too. Servers really know their stuff.

Josh Dugger

Great local italian restaurant with amazing dishes. Simple, fresh and a small enough menu to not leave you flipping through pages. Expect a wait on evenings but know it is worth it.

Luis DeCubas

I had a wonderful dinner last night. All the dishes that we ordered were delicious. Pearl who served us was so attentive to all our needs. She gave us excellent service. They have the best pasta in the Twin Cities.

Rebecca Costigan

We've been wanting to try Broder's for a while, and we're so glad we did. All the main dishes we tried (ravioli with peas and lemon sauce, rigatoni with sausage, and lemon chicken risotto) were fantastic! The flavors were authentic and reminded us of our time in Italy. We had the tasty burrata as an appetizer and pistachio cheesecake for dessert. Everything was great. Service was also very attentive - highly recommend a visit here!

Jude Dugan Olson

I have been a fan of Broders for over 15 years. Last night my husband and I had the BEST meal ever !!! The morel-mushroom specials are amazing and the best panzanella salad ever! The new Executive Chef Andrew Zajac is knocking it out of the Park! As usual outstanding service and perfect wine recommendation at the bar with Rocky. Heading back next week for the spinach ravioli and more panzanella!

Sadie Mueller

Handmade pasta... delicious! Service was a little slow but overall enjoyable.

Alex Kitzberger

Fantastic food! Wife and I went here for supper. She got the ravioli and I got the fettuccine. Both were excellent and quick to get to the table! We were both impressed with how quick it was. Had some dessert as well which was excellent! We will definitely be coming back sometime. Food is well worth the price.

babszolla k

This is an all time favorite. There is nothing not to like. The ambiance is great, intimate and warm. The food fantastic. The waiters attentive, but not in your face. I never had a bad meal.

Naomi Thyden

Patio is nice but honestly would have enjoyed Olive Garden food more. The bread was literally too hard to eat. The “pesto” had barely any basil in it. The Caesar salad was soaking in oil. Every dish was overwhelmed by cheese. The server knocked into my chair every time she passed.

Coochie Crook

Great place,food atmosphere. Hostess was rude. Overall good vibes!

Ezekiel

Dine in is as just has high quality as take out but sometimes I just want to be in the comfort of my own home. If you don’t feel particularly up for parking battles in Minneapolis don’t hesitate to give their carry out options some love.

Diana Witcher

We had a great meal. I had the squash ravioli with sage and the Pra Soave. My boyfriend had fresh pasta with sausage and veggies. Both entrees were delicious and fresh, the focaccia and cracker bread were amazing, and the service was awesome. Thank you!

Michael Isle

We ended up waiting 45 minutes for a table but by God it was worth it. It's about the same price as olive garden but so so so much better quality. I just wish it were closer to where I lived!

Sasha Alasia

Delicious and authentic Italian food. Gnocchi was amazing

Arasu S

Excellent Italian food. Good service. Cozy atmosphere and ambience. Great place for a date.

eric scott

Amazing Italian cuisine, great service

Linda Klausen

We came with my youngest daughter and her husband and their two daughters to help celebrate her birthday. The staff were wonderful and the food was amazing. There were 6 of us and each one of us got something different. We were all very happy with what we got. Thanks for a very nice evening.

Lynnie

Excellent pasta, risotto, and gnocchi! I ordered a pretty standard pasta with red sauce and sausage, and OH MY GOSH it was terrific! One of my dinner companions had risotto with shrimp and the other had carrot gnocchi. Both described their meals as delicious. If we had a complaint, it was that a relatively expensive glass of barolo (wine) was pretty teensy for the price. We had very nice service too. Note: This is a hoppin' place. Reservations are a must, at least on weekends. Some of the dining is outdoors. Parking is extremely limited, so you may have to park several blocks away. Wear shoes you can walk in!

Matthias Ristow

Great food, great service. However, absolutely hated the Benefits and Equity charge on the bill and will not come back to this place because of it. If you need to increase your prices because of higher costs, so be it. Even understandable during these times but this charge is not the right solution.

Jason Sullivan

Couldn't ask for a better waiter then rocky.. very attentive waitress too... Delicious food.. would have given more stars if I could. Keep up the good work guys!

Lish Thrall

Amazing food, excellent service, and nice intimate dining. Highly recommend.

I went to Broders' Pasta Bar for the first time for my girlfriends birthday recently, and was extremely impressed with their service, food, and environment. We made a reservation a few days ahead of time on Ressy and were seated on their outside patio promptly on time. The entire place is relatively small, but also quite cozy. Several servers came to our table - to provide us with bread, water, refills, and an extra dose of cheese. The waitress was extremely helpful and you could tell she had been working there for years with her insane depth of knowledge; however she still had a great deal of enthusiasm with her recommendations. The food was fantastic and reasonably priced for the entire experience that went along with it. We had 2 glasses of wine each (4 total), 2 appetizers, and 2 entrees of pasta for around 150$. For an italy-style menu and outstanding quality food, I'd say it was an extremely reasonably priced.

Hannah McFarland

Best gnocchi I have had. Reasonably priced for the quality you are getting. Amazing! The atmosphere and genuinely kind staff are just icing on the cake.

Sam B

Didn't expect a 15% health insurance fee for my meal. Should have told me before I ordered.

C.A. TW

Fantastic! Freshly made pasta! I love every dish it is so hard to choose which one to pick. Service is wonderful and knowledgeable. Great wine menu. Restaurant is cozy ( perfect for a date night) and always packed. We will get there 15 minutes before they open and there is always a line of at least 4 people waiting to get in. Thank goodness for delivery!

Fey Forlorn (In Search of Wild Onions)

The food was divine and the service was excellent. We will definitely be back. Your quality has earned our business! Why four stars instead of five? Parking was difficult and seating was very cramped and uncomfortable. The space is endearing, but they've outgrown it. I had a difficult time getting out of my chair without knocking stuff off of the neighboring tables. My husband took an aisle seat, and he felt uncomfortable and in the way. I can understand not wanting to take any tables out when seating is already limited and there are frequent wait times to get in. I'm not sure how well they would be able to accommodate groups over four. I'm not sure how well they would be able to accommodate guests that may need some accessibility options, particularly those with wheelchairs, but I hope the owner or manager will respond to this review will the specifics so that those impacted will know before stopping by. According to the website, they don't take reservations, so get there early if you want to avoid wait times.

Amanda Tinebra

Our favorite restaurant in MPLS! The best pasta you can get outside of Italy. So glad they are back open. Fresh, authentic, ingredients. Friendly knowledgeable staff. Ask about their wines, and the staff can help you find new favorites from Italy!

Arielle Anderson

Small so it’s hard to get seated without a reservation. Food and wine are good but nothing very special. Cute ambience for a date

Kenneth Almeter

Love this place food is amazing menu always has new things on it and the service is great.

M Dickson

The food was amazing, I loved the homemade noodles. The staff was very friendly. Excellent restaurant!

Nicole Chen

So impressed when i stepped into broders! First thing that struck me well would be the ambience and service, classy, warm, yet welcoming. They have a variety of menu options to choose and I got the classic Spaghetti Aglio Olio (really good). My friend got the Cannelloni Di Granchio which is also delicious. We also had the deserts which was great! A great place for family dining and to bring your partner out on a date!

Sophia Ariola

What's better than homemade marinara with some zing and fresh noods? Not much. We went for restaurant week and were tempted to order off the regular menu but wanted a taste of what they had selected to offer. Overall, the caesar salads were yummy, my husband's dish - a pesto pasta dish with Italian sausage and hazelnuts - was delightful, my fettuccine alfredo was a smidgen more al dente than I would have liked but nevertheless I embraced every bite of homemade pasta. When I needed some red sauce, both because I'm a marinara sauce addict and because I consider it a staple that all (good) Italian restaurants must perfect with ease, it blew me away. Our server, who I unfortunately didn't catch the name of, was pleasant and knowledgeable, overall attentive and welcoming. I'd go back, no doubt.

Jeffrey Wright

Surprisingly good food can be found at Broders. I have driven past dozens of times in my 4 years in Minnesota and never really gave it a chance. Glad I finally did. Orecchiette with sausage was excellent and really flavorful. Pacherri con Stracotto was also very nice. Insalada di Casa a nice simple salad And the panna cotta a winner. Not everything was a winner and suggest sticking with what you like. Their version of a linguini a vongole was not very good nor was their grilled peach cheesecake. Purists might not like Broders as much as we did, but they will find some treasures. Recommended.

Sean McStravick

Absolutely incredible pasta. The fresh noodles are a step above and the staff is delightful. Definitely a favorite in the city.

Scott Weese

Everything about Broders' was excellent. We had the #9, #16, and #4 from the dinner menu. All three dishes were incredible, the wines that our server suggested were perfect as well. I can't wait to go back! Pricing was mid-high, most entrées were around $20 each.

Lucy Shvachka

This is our family's favorite restaurant in Twin Cities. My husband and I come here every Friday. The food is delicious and atmosphere is friendly. I really like the opportunity to have a glass of whine in the hallway or patio while waiting for a table. Rocky is our favorite bartender, so do not mind to sit in bar area, since you will receive the best service there. I highly recommend to try their gnocchi (id you like white sauce pasta) and lamb ragu (if you like red sauce pasta).

Amani Verdeja

Ok where do I start...the 15% tax just for eat there! WTH!!! That doesn't include gratuity. Then we order a Cesar salad that doesn't come with the meal comes out wilted and brown lettuce. The saving grace was the pasta, that was excellent. The bread was very dry. I don't think I would go back. Very shocked about the 15% charge, what a joke.

Ian Dees

We have visited Broder's several times and been disappointed with the wait time when they didn't have a reservation system. At the time, the food was great but not worth waiting for an hour or more in a tight space. Covid has actually made this situation better: we called ahead and ordered some takeout for a picnic in a nearby park. Other than preparing our food too early and it being a bit cooler than we would have liked when we picked it up, it was a wonderful experience. The food was great and in a good proportion. We shared the carbonara and fettuccini and both dishes were excellent.

Candy Rose

The service was second to none. The atmosphere was intimate and friendly. The food was top notch. The drinks fit perfectly with how we were feeling that night. We will be back.

Brian Boche

A small and cute place with amazing service and food. This weekend was our first visit and there was an issue with our reservation and the manager made it right. We will be back and you should check it out!

Willard Puckett

Intimate, friendly, romantic restaurant that has the best fresh pasta in the city. Everything is delicious. They do not take reservations so the wait can be long, as this is a small and cozy yet popular restaurant. However, you can sit on the patio while you wait or grab a drink from the drink window where they offer beer and wine.

Abby D

Ridiculously delicious. I adore this place. The staff take great care of you, too.

Brian Sharp

If I was in the mood for great Italian two nights in a row, I'd be back there tomorrow. Food was quick and delicious, wine selection was great and saw a Ty Pennington doppelganger.

Tracy Engebretson

The homemade pasta is amazing. Good variety to choose from. Small plates served on the patio are the perfect way to start the evening. The wine list is excellent. Service is excellent. Always a perfect summer evening with friends.

Vivian L. Sims

This place was AMAZING. The food and amtosphere were incredible and comforting. The parking lot was competitive and tight but after eating we realized why it was so crowded on a random Wednesday night. Definitely try to make a reservation but they have a cute little bar in a narrow hallway sitting area if you choose to wait. Service was fast and the kitchen turned over meals quickly. Outstanding sauces and presentation. Great selections. Will return if in the area again!

Jenni E.

This is our favorite pasta place. Get the #11! You won't be sorry.

Rachel Kinsella

Perfect spot to enjoy a date night. People always complain about the wait but every time we have come we've been seated immediately. Wait staff is always incredible, friendly and helpful. Food is unique and fresh dishes. Not the type of pasta you can make at home so definitely makes it worth the money. It's a fav of ours!

Preston Luman

THE BEST! Be prepared for a wait. Call ahead. Order a glass of wine while you're waiting for a table, & chill. Great varied pasta options prepared in front of your eyes. Ambiance! A local favorite for decades. Great wine selection. Consistently good, friendly service. Parking is always a challenge. All dishes are tasty & fresh. Enjoy!

Mike Ford

Really fantastic menu. Everyone at our table selected a different pasta dish and loved it. I went with the lamb, and it was fantastic. Came at 4:30pm on a Sunday, and there was a line when we left - popular place, for good reason!

Jim McMicken

Really good Italian food and exceptional house made pasta. I had the crab rago which was incredible.

Susan Dickinson

Fantastic dinners and great staff. We went both nights while in the area.

Megan Telusma

Cute outdoor patio with good spacing between tables. Service and food were outstanding. The server did a really great job pairing wine with our dinner dishes.

Emily Ormesher

We didn't realize they took their last seating at 8 and showed up just a couple minutes before and we were seated, luckily there happened to be an empty table, so keep that in mind to be there before the last seating or make reservations the day before. But for the food, it was prompt and very delicious. If we lived in the area we would definitely eat there frequently.

Cassie Kersten

Went there tonight with my family while visiting from Atlanta and all I can say is WOW! The truffle gnocchi with steak was, by far, the best pasta I've ever had-- and this is even more than anything I've had in either Atlanta or Italy! The service was great and the pumpkin cheesecake dessert was also fantastic. Highly recommend.

Katie Fritze

My husband and I had a fabulous dinner here to celebrate a special occasion. We had to wait about 45 minutes for our table of 2 on a Friday night. The amazing pasta and attentive service were more than worth the wait. However, I would not go there with a party larger than 4-5 people without special reservations.

Nagesh Mule

Pasta taste is good but not the wow factor though from ambience point of view. To much congested from inside. It has a place outside the restaurant which is an open space where you can have grilled menus. Spending time during evening time feels good. Staff Chris was amazingly helpful. He did describe me varieties of wines and explained the difference in them. I liked the interaction, though got to know more about wine 😀

Corey Anthony

Awesome place, excellent food (recommend the rabbit) there is usually a wait but they have a separate patio where you can get apps and drinks while you wait. After 8, you can also get a deal for two ($45 which includes a half bottle of wine and two pasta dishes) - awesome for a later date night. Very reasonable prices all things considered, the one heads-up I will give to everyone is to make sure you read the descriptions under the menu items as I heard two people thinking they ordered bruschetta when they just ordered pretty much garlic bread.

Linda Sharp

If you want the best pasta you will ever have. This...is...the... place. The staff is impeccable. So kind and friendly. Plan on waiting if you on the weekend, it is worth it. I was here 6 years ago and live in Indiana, made a trip back just to eat here. We'll be back.

Karen D Norman

Creative outdoor setting. Fantastic service. Delicious food. We had appetizers (calamari and prosciutto with pickles melon), foccacia,, Caesar salad (dressing made correctly with anchovies in it), and 4 of the dishes. Friends also had the tiramisu, and they said it was phenomenal. It's one of my friend's most favorite restaurant, and now I understand why.

Tracey Fredrick

This place is amazing! The 4 dishes we had at our table were all fantastic. They don't take reservations, so either get there early or plan to wait for a little bit. The quadrucci and the gnocchi with rabbit were both recommended to us and they were total hits. And save room for dessert.

Mike Tews

It’s one of my favorite restaurants in Minneapolis. It’s always busy but that’s part of the fun, you get to drink at a sister restaurant or in the lobby while you wait. Date night M-Th is amazing. Best pasta in Minneapolis. Very underrated patio and nice, attentive staff.

Brad Dimond

We sat on the patio and greatly enjoyed the evening. Happy Hour prices are good. The quality of the food was outstanding. The vegetable skewers arrived on a bed of roasted asparagus with olive oil and capers, they were delicious. We will soon go back.

Tom Hryhorysak

Absolutely extraordinary and delicious meal. Quadrucci with Roasted Chicken is a must try. The absolute best Italian dish I have had. Great and attentive service. Casual family feel that makes enjoying the cuisine all the better. Recommend and hope everyone enjoys!

Corey Helland

Absolutely the best restaurant around. Fabulous food, wine list and waitstaff. They do not take reservations, so go early or plan to wait. But the wait is well worth it, trust me! If the patio is open, get a drink and an app there. The menu is different on the patio and well worth trying out. Family friendly, but wouldn't recommend to families with small kids given the potentially long wait. Much better for date night or special meals.

Amy Bridgeforth

This is probably the best Italian restaurant I've ever been to. My husband and I are from out of town so we checked out Yelp for a good place. It's packed and for good reason! We ordered the Caesar salad, fettuccini with pork belly and the cannelloni. The flavors are amazing and the pasta cooked perfectly 👍👍 …

Hannah Sauer

I've been meaning to write a review on this place for a couple weeks! Hands down best Italian food I have ever had. I went to this restaurant per a recommendation of a patient of mine, and I'm so glad I did. I brought my dad and boyfriend, and each of us thoroughly enjoyed our meals and the atmosphere! We'll most certainly be back!

Justin Boschwitz

I had a wonderful time! Excellent service and food :)

Jessie K.

Fresh pappardelle con salsicce, take out. Noodles are not only fresh/handmade, but still very al dente when I got home 12 minutes after pickup. I feel like someone finally understands me. Pistachio cheesecake is so satisfactory. Way to nail it, guys. By the sounds of some of these other reviews, it might be hit or miss. But when it's hit, lemme tell ya.....<3

neil boehlke

This place is fantastic. The service and food were amazing. The pasta is so fresh and everything is made from scratch. The mussels were so buttery and delicious. The interior could use a little updating but it's works. 5 stars. It is a smaller place and there will be a wait.

Serenity Silvers

Service was excellent, wine choices were fabulous, most of our dishes were delicious. The crab was overdone in the linguine, but the braised rabbit, butternut ravioli, and wild boar pasta were very tasty. The flourless chocolate cake was amazing! Looking forward to going again!

Sue A

This is a chosen special occasion restaurant for my family. The atmosphere is lovely, the food is delicious and the service is top-notch. We devoured the bread that was brought to our table prior to the meal and enjoyed wonderful wine & beer from their offerings. Salads were tasty and very fresh! Entrees were to die for. My daughter and I chose one with chicken & asparagus while the men's contained scallops. The dessert menu was tempting but we only had room to share one - a plum crostini with ice cream - a great way to end the evening. We'll be back to try the others and highly recommend this restaurant!

Britni Nic

Sat at the bar on a Tuesday night. The bartender/waiter was very knowledgeable about both the food and wine menu. The food was amazing. The bread was fresh. The neighborhood was gorgeous. Romantic atmosphere. Must try this place!

Rebecca Montanari

Unfortunately not as great as I was expecting. I got the linguine with pesto, green beans and potatoes. The pesto was not the best and disappointing since I was looking forward to that dish (I’m vegetarian and that seemed like the most exciting option). My husband got quadretti with chicken. He said his meal tasted good but about halfway in he discovered a mass of about 10 quadretti stacked up on each other and not mixed within the meal. We got a flourless chocolate cake for dessert and we both liked that. It was extremely rich and dense. I will say the portion size and the service was good! This place did not impress my Italian husband who moved to the states just over a year ago. We may try it again, but we’re certainly not excited to. We’re both disappointed, as we hoped to have a delicious italian spot for pasta close to home.

Scott Anderson

Great atmosphere and amazing staff. It was our first time but will be coming here more often.

Jake Arntson

They should figure out how to bottle up the smell inside this place and sell it to other restaurants. The kitchen is right near where you are eating and the entire place smells amazing... Very cozy. Food was excellent. Best pasta I have had.

Nicki Urlaub

Cozy ambience, delicious pasta, and great service. It was my first time there last Sunday, and my friend warned me that we have to get there early or else there's a long wait since they don't take reservations. We got there just minutes before they opened at 4pm and there were already other people waiting outside for them to open. Comes to show how popular this place is! It was nice that they had their own parking lot though. The prices were not cheap - about $16-20 a plate of pasta - but i thought it was worth it. I ordered the pasta with mussels (can't recall the exact name) and it was good. I would definitely come back here again!

Sam Miller

Really nice staff, just a little awkward when it comes to explaining the mask policy. We're all adapting, I get it. The only reason I wouldn't give 5 stars is because while the food is great, it's really overpriced for the portion you get, and bread is offered but only upon asking instead of the server asking if you want it. We didn't even know they served bread until after our dinner.

Joseph Haake

My favorite restaurant in the Twin Cities for Italian food. Will always recommend. Fresh pasta, great wine and local beer selection, staff is always nice and unpretentious. Spring & summer has outdoor seating for small plates. Everything is always fresh and incredible.

Carlus Dingfelder

A favorite spot for special occasions, but the date night menu is classic, comfortable, and affordable. The wine is second-to-none with a small selection of beers to enjoy when you are waiting for your table. The patio is awesome for waiting during the warmer months and is good for a quick bite too.

Dan Nelson

This old neighborhood standby cannot be beaten when it comes to traditional Italian based pasta dishes. A distinct family run feel offering great customer service. A no-reservation policy results in often long waits for a table but I assure you, the wait is worth it. If Jeff is your server, you’ve won the jackpot. His menu knowledge and friendliness is number one.

Caitlin Percy

Food is fine (but not as good as it was pre-covid) and service was good as usual. Not sure if the date night special is still going but hope so. You’ll be charged a 15% “benefits and equity charge” to your bill now.

Jessica Haines

This is a regular date night place to us. I took my parents here, and we went out with another couple - it was a hit all around! Border's has to be one (if not the) best old-school Italian places in the Cities. The food is superb and the building is is classy.

Charles C

In my top two for Italian restaurants in the Twin Cities. Food, service, and atmosphere are wonderful. Tip: they have a date night special Sun-Thurs after 8 pm. You get two pasta dishes, a half bottle of wine, olive appetizer, and caesar salad for $30. The pasta dishes you can choose from are limited but are still very good. Writing this review is making me hungry!

Nick Menzel

When dine-in is available, Broder’s is my favorite restaurant. It’s where we celebrate our birthdays, anniversaries, and nights that we want to be special. But the new takeout service is a disappointment. We want to support the restaurant, but the portions were less than half of what you get in the restaurant and the flavor was lacking. We were looking for a bright spot amidst all this pandemic has brought, but we are still disappointed: in the state of the world and an otherwise good restaurant.

Craig Miller

Since the day they opened, 25 years ago. We have never been disappointed. Tonight, they squeezed us in. We drove over 50 miles to enjoy a Valentine's Day meal. The GM Nathan and our server Ruth took excellent care of us.

Emily Rommel

This is one of my favourite restaurants in all of Minneapolis! The pasta is delicious and the atmosphere makes you feel like you are having an authentic Italian experience! Sometimes the wait can be up to an hour or so, but you can either order a drink from the mini bar in the front hall, or leave your cell phone number with the host and go grab a drink at their other restaurant, Terzo on the other corner! They also have a great wine selection and drop off some delicious bread to snack on while you wait for your entree.

Pat Maxwell

I always well prepared pasta. Reasonably price. Very good service. Large selection of pasta dishes.

Giffard Hodgson

This is literally the best pasta I have ever had in my life.I'm going to preface this review by saying I don't usually order pasta when I go out to eat. I feel like pasta is cheaper to make, so in my head, I would usually just make it at home than buy it elsewhere.But oh no - that thought process went out the window as soon as I heard how amazing this place is. It totally lives up to the hype.

Todd Leafman

My wife and I had a very good meal here. The gnocchi fritti, Caesar salad and both of our pastas tasted great. Can definitely understand why this place is so well reviewed. We will be back.

Dan E

Great food, lots of variety, good service, decent wine list and they take reservations, which is great because they're usually busy and it helps to not have to wait for a table!

Patty Bartholomew

The goat cheese ravioli in cream sauce too rich, the homemade ravioli is too thick and chewy. Service not the best. Not friendly staff only water boy smiled. The pesto green bean linguini excellent. The website menu is not what we found at the restaurant.

Bill Titler

Still very good but really hate the new menu, fewer choices. The new manager is taking a great neighborhood spot that you can eat at often and making it an occasional destination. To pull that off in the foot print they have will be tough. The place was made to feature the food, with tight quarters and cheap tables and chairs. The name still includes past bar but the manager does not seem to get it.

Marsai Richardson

I luv to get a Pizza slice when in the area. It's so authentic!! Normally, Broder's would get 5-stars but yesterday it took 40 minutes to get my order (1-slice, 2-bread stick and Gigante Beans). Thank goodness for the young man who was running orders out to cars. He's a winner for checking on me ! Thanks for the free dessert - my fav Lemon bars!!

David Mattson

Best pasta in all of Minneapolis along with the great selection of beer and wine. What really makes this place a real gem is the fact that you can get all this great food for such a reasonable price. I wish they took reservations, but if you come either early or later in the night you can get in pretty quickly. Make the time to come here.

Drew McNeill

Certainly the go-to Italian spot in the neighborhood, but I think it's also fair to say that it's the gold standard for Italian food in Minneapolis. The menu isn't going to change your life or anything--it's exactly the same well-made Italian pastas and other dishes that you'd expect--but it's hard to say anything bad about great food, great atmosphere, and great service. A "must try" for anyone who lives in the neighborhood or anyone who loves good Italian food.

Raddie Ruple

If you want authentic Italian food with good service, then Broders will not disappoint. The pastas are made in house daily and both entrees we had ( linguine with clams and linguine with Parma ham) were well prepared, nicely presented and delicious. Save room for deserts, they were fabulous also. The restaurant is busy, but get there either early or late because they do not take reservations.

Paul Berg

Pasta was fabulous, service was definitely adequate, atmosphere was perfect for a date night. We had a great time!

This Guy

My wife and I recently moved to Minnesota and have tried many different restaurants since being here. Broder's is by far our favorite place to eat. We have eaten there twice now and both times have been delicious. I got the spaghetti and meatballs and it was amazing. Definitely the best pasta I have ever had. I highly highly highly recommend this place to anyone. Very good atmosphere and the prices are reasonable especially for how good the food is!

P H

Amazing pasta and space. Really the best pasta I have ever had! The variation in the menu is wonderful, it can get busy, but if you sit at the bar you can usually get in there more quickly. The outside seating area has a different menu.

Kim Johnson

3rd visit and definitely did not disappoint! Every meal has been fantastic.

Michelle Lenhart

Whenever I eat at this restaurant I just feel happy. The chalkboard menu and ability to seat yourself give it an authentic, relaxed feel. But the ceiling mural and art work, not to mention the food which is both delicious and a work of art in its own right, make it feel unique and special. Two thumbs up!

Jerome Haywood

Broders' Pasta Bar is so delicious. All of there pasta is freshly made. The best one I have to say is the linguine with clams. I usually have my girlfriend order that one so I can eat hers and try a different pasta on the menu. Trust me you will not be disappointed with this place. Sit at the bar if you can.

Hanna Henscheid

This was, hands down, the best restaurant I've ever been to. My husband and I loved everything about the experience. Even though there was a 45 minute wait, even that was pleasant. The waitress was friendly and very helpful, and the food was among the best I've ever had. I can't give a more glowing review.

LeShon Lee

Took a while to get a table so i recommend planning ahead. Server was excellent and very prompt. The food came quick and was amazing. Highly recommend the gnocchi w rabbit and the short rib! It was outstanding. Very please with my experience.

Abel

The lamb melted in my mouth!

Johanna Knowles

Was recommended to come here by this Italian guy who told me out of all the pasta places he's been too in the cities, he said this is the only place that reminds him of home... which is back in Italy. So I had to come here!!!! AND I HAVE BEEN IN LOVE SINCE. I only come here during special occasions like my birthday, my boyfriend's birthday, or my anniversary. I enjoy it soooo much every time. The service I recieve from my servers is phenomenal. The outside deck with it's own menu is brilliant and delicious. The outside of this place is soooooo cute and cozy. I love recommending this place to friends and family. Sooo good. A little bit pricy but it's worth it! I try to go at a later time (8pm or so) so it isn't so crazy busy or right when they open (around 4:30pm). If you go during prime time dinner, expect to wait about 30 mintues. But it goes by fast if you sit outside in the patio and order wine or some appetizers there. Must try!!!!!!

Denys Leighton

Impressive variety of pasta dishes and well prepared. Dolci were also nice. Wine pours could be a bit more generous given the overall prices. Pleasant and interesting decor. Broders' is a very good Italian restaurant for a town the size of the Twin Cities.

Simsam

Delicious Italian fare. My wife always wants to go to Olive Garden but for a few dollars more I made her feel spoiled here. The only downside is no reservations and you could wait over an hour. On a nice day the patio is busy and fun.

Christie Opitz

Broders' has always been a favorite go-to date night spot! Tonight we went for our first (and likely last) restaurant meal in months as we aren't doing any indoor dining at present. They take reservations with 90 minute dining blocks, have a heated tent that felt well sectioned off from other guests, and we very much appreciated their various and thorough COVID precautions. It certainly and obviously wasn't the same as pre-COVID times which we long for, but the drinks, food, dessert and service were as good as ever. Broders' has risen to the unfortunate occasion. P.S. I usually get the Tagliatelle bit was swayed to a gnocchi that was excellent.

Sarah Knutson

Loved this place. Everything we had was delicious and the wine selection was great It's a small, cozy restaurant so call ahead to make a reservation, if possible. We waited about 20 minutes on a Monday night.

Mark Whittier

A refreshing, extraordinarily good meal in a restaurant with a neighborhood vibe. The pasta was done perfectly and the innovative recipes using traditional ingredients were a real treat. Quality wine selections across the price spectrum - keep in mind that they have "house wine" as well.

Beth May

THE GOOD - food was amazing as usual (think rich sauces and fresh homemade pasta) 🍝, and the people on the phone were nice. THE BAD - prices are high for portion sizes 💰 AND......... THE UGLY - when order was placed online (5:30 pm) wait time listed as 30 minutes 😊. Email at 5:40 pm said pickup at 7:50 pm - no options to cancel order 😡. Arrived at jam-packed parking lot at 7:50 pm 😳- called phone number on sign to coordinate pickup. After 40 minute wait and six phone calls (placed on hold and eventually disconnected each time) we left 😡. Back home at 8:40 pm, Broders called to ask if I was going to pickup my order 😂. Drove back over to pickup order and finally got home with order at 9:15 pm 💤 😴.

Aditya Prahalad

Nice restaurant in Minneapolis downtown. Very good vegan options. I just wanted to do some tapas on an easy evening with some friends. I must say the service was very quick and the food was too good. I ordered some olive tapanade and crustinis with some chicken skewers, very tasty indeed. I don't have pictures, but trust me you want to try out this place. Prices are a little high if you want to find in , but tapas items are reasonably priced between $10 and $20.

Adrienne Birkeland

I used to give this place a 5/5 but I think they got new management and it went down hill from there. I used to be excited to try out their new menu choices, now Broders rarely rotates there menu selection, so you end up eating the same thing if you want to go there often. They got a brand new menu and it has a kids section... Broders used to be a place of flavor and unique pasta dishes, now it's one step above Olive Garden. The prices of their food have increased and the quality has deeply declined.

Tom Koon

Always love their pizza. It's my favorite in the Twin Cities. Wish they didn't think so little of their staff that the management posts the percentage for consumers that goes to healthcare. That is insulting. How much goes to owner's profit and other account moves to line their pockets? My employer never did list what goes to healthcare. Just post the price of the food without comment.

Brian Wilson

Incredible handmade pasta, great service, and always a joy to visit. I love the cracker-like thin flatbread that comes before your meal, it's so unique and tastes incredible yet it's so simple. Something I always look for in a restaurant is cleanliness, and this place is always spotless. You can see the back of the kitchen from the bar and it is always sparkly clean. You can't go wrong with Broder's.

Quyen Tang

Great food - little on the pricey side, and indoor seating can feel a little cramped when it is busy. They have a little parking lot though which is always nice.

Renee Binns

Very loud! Octopus was cooked just right, pasta was fresh, spicy chicken had hardly any chicken and the taxes were so close together I'm glad our waiter didn't pass gas because his backside was right in my face when he took care of the tables on either side of us.

Connor Hills

One of the better Italians restaurants in the TC's. Flavor and presentation on-point, can't wait to be back. The only reason not giving 5 stars is the menu online is older, and this is definitely pricier than the $$ on the page indicate. Be ready for a bigger bill.

Benjamin Hubert

Absolutely phenomenal food and atmosphere. Pricey but a very nice date night experience.

Ryan Bolduan

Broders has a well deserved reputation for being a great local spot for good pasta. Their wine selection is very good, with a focus on Italian wines. Every time I go they have a dolcetto, which I love. Every pasta dish is well thought out and authentic. Be ready for true al dente pasta though, which can be a turn off if you're not a fan (I think it's perfect). All and all a great local place.

Keenan Olson

The best pasta in Minnesota. 95% of the time, you will wait for a table, but if you like italian food, this is the place to go. The Broder family is immersed in Italian culinary culture and Terzo across the street is great too! There are some special off menu items they offer (I always get the carbonara). Great beer and wine as well. Worth the wait!

Gene Hinders

The Fettuccine Ala Bolognnese was excellent! The fresh made pasta was amazing. The waiter was very helpful in assisting with questions about the menu. And being seated at the pasta bar was very cool as you could see the flurry of activity from the cooks.

Ben Peterson

The collection of fresh products was impressive. I appreciate a fresh made noodle and the sauce was so well balanced. My Fettuccine Con Salmone delivered a fulfilling elegance I haven't had in many years. Brought me back to the time my mother hand made noodles for the family.

Benjamin Rattle

Great night spent at Broder's. The weather wasn't bad at all, so while we waited for our table, we sat at the outside bar and enjoyed beers and appetizers (so many delicious bruschettas to choose from!). That was great being able to move back and forth with no issues. We eventually got seated at the bar and enjoyed some immensely delicious pasta plates (Penna Rosa and Fettuccine Alla Bolognese). Always a fan of this spot.

Samantha Krumme

Luckily for Broders service and quality of food has been higher the handful of other times my fiance and I came in. This last time (Our 1 year anniversary Oct 7th) we had to make our meal a Borders meal being its the location of our first date. Well its safe to say if this had been our first meal here we would never go back. And frankly we have been stumped the last couple days at what happened to this place! After ordering a bottle of wine, 2 apps and two main entrees the bartender NEVER asked us how the food was, the food was incredibly disappointing the menu has changed since we last were in so I'm not sure if we had been dealing with a new chef but there was zero to right home about, meal was on par for olive garden. Let down and hope this isnt the new norm!!!

Lara Dietrich

I love to sit at the Pasta Bar and watch the action of the kitchen and the servers! The menu changes with the seasons, but if you see the Squid Ink Linguini - go for it. Tender, slightly spicy garlic sauce with a touch of lemon. Easily my favorite dish this visit!

Jayson Massa

Best pasta place in MN, hands down. La Grassa is great for sure. Monello is incredible. But Broders is just a diff experience and feel. It’s not the large downtown fine dining type. It’s more intimate, with true care taken into each dish. Service is great, food is incredible, wine list in incomparable. Prepare to wait from virtually open to close.

Josh Forsythe

Broders is a total institution, and we go any time we can. Pasta, salads, sides and bread are all top notch, and it's always good to support a local business. Took food to go, and it was still in perfect shape 20 min later when we got home.

Abby Dong

Delicious. We loved coming here for date-night (pre-rona). The atmosphere and staff are wonderful. Portions are decently large. Our favorite is the tagliarini with pancetta. So. Freaking. Good.

Joel Rogness

Relaxed atmosphere, great pasta - fresh, interesting flavor combinations. One of the best date restaurants in town. Call ahead and put your name on the list or be prepared to drink a few glasses of wine while you wait.

Renee Ranere

It was VERY LOUD! I had the octopus dish, and they did a good job. It was tender and the dish was tasty. The tables were so close together that the servers butt was in our face when he was serving the table next to us.

Truthpainter

Food was good but pricey for the smaller portions. I would go back.

David Olson

Superb food, fabulous service! Best restaurant in town, and I’ve been to most of them!

Rachel Keaton

Every part of this meal was scrumptious, especially for the price. You get 3 free types of bread before you order which are all delicious. I'd recommend penne putanesca if you get the date night dinner.

Bright Shining Star

Food was delicious! Wine was yummy 😊 We enjoyed a wonderful dinner inside and then had our coffee and dessert on the deck. Lovely evening with family. Service was excellent! …

Scott Johnson

Good food, pricey pasta. Maybe if there were more full size tables so we would not have to sit in the two person kid size table by the cash register it would be more appealing. Long line at dinner time. Tight parking.

Cody D

I was disappointed. Food quality was above average, but the service was bad. Inattentive waitress and the man who boxed our leftovers appeared to be angry & gave us dirty looks. It was Bar La Grassa prices without the quality and not even same stratosphere experience.

Graham Winchester

Try the fried olives and espresso. This is hands down, the best pasta I've had in the twin cities. The two times we've gone, my girlfriend and I have had the same waiter who has been very kind and accommodating.

adam petersen

The restaurant is a little small so expect a wait time if it's not a week night. Thankfully you can get drinks and apps at the patio outside while you wait. The pasta is well worth the wait though.

Heidi Stulberg (Heidi)

The note that comes up on Google maps states that it is a "bustling neighborhood family joint." This place is really not a "joint" and while families do come here, it's more of a place mom and dad might leave the kids at home and go to on a date. The food is more sophisticated than the deli across the street that is also owned by the Broder's name. The pasta bar is quite European Authentic. The owner regularly visits Italy and uses inspiration from those experiences to influence the seasonal menu.

Renee Michalosky

My 2nd trip here and it was better than I remembered. My companion is not a pasta eater and still loved the food. Can't get enough of this place. Well worth lack of parking and waiting for a table.

Serena Townsend

It was great!!! Got the rigatoni ! Omg it was the best I have ever had !!!! And my bf got the risotto ! That was super light and yummy ! Best Italian place over south!!

Chris Dunlap

Visited toward the end of Summer. During the wait for our dining room table, we were seated in the outdoor patio which offered drink and apps. Excellent offering for waiting out a table! Service was great, food was good.

aaron harris

Pretty good food and wait staff. Only problem is how close together tables are together. While it wouldn't normally be an issue, we were unfortunately sat next to some overly loud and drunk women who talked over the sound and voices in the joint. Super rude, considering the other guests were considerate of each other.

Sarah Vass

My husband and I sat at the bar and had wonderful service. The food was delicious and we will definitely be back!

Nancy Archambault

I had the pasta with clams (don't remember the name). It was FANTASTIC!!!!! EXTREMELY spicy-you will be sweating when you eat it; but I love spicy food!!! Unbelievable!! Definitely would go here again and order this again!!!!! Service was VERY fast!

Bryan Koster

Best pasta in town! All of their food is excellent however not all will fit your flavor profile. But that's the best part, there is something for everyone. Great value.

Mark Parrott

Excellent service! Wonderful food.

Bryan McInerny

Great place for authentic made to order pasta. Wait is a little long but it's worth it. No reservations available or table holding which is a bummer but understandable given how busy they frequently are. A little expensive but worth it for the occasional visit or special occasion.

I C

I know this is a pretty popular spot but I really like Bar La Grasse a lot better than Broder's. For the two times I was there, their pasta were only ok, and I don't really feel particularly impressed with the taste of the overall dish they prepared. The overall atmosphere and food is okay though. Giving it three stars.

Ryan Wiese

Excellent neighborhood spot for real authentic Italian. Pasta is made fresh daily, and the menu changes consistently so there's always something delicious to try.

Pavel Ushakov

If you love pasta, this is the place for you. Pasta made from scratch, and you can taste the difference. I also recommend stopping by their deli across the street where you can buy uncooked, freshly made pasta and cook it at home!

Zachary Moore

Yummy bread and oil to start and tons of entree options. We enjoyed the bolognese pasta and rosemary pasta. Will be back soon!

Allen Clark

This is a great place for a date. They offer fairly normal sounding italian food (eg lasagna, stromboli, pasta with red sauce, manicotti, etc) but nothing tastes familiar at all. The decorations and artwork is pretty good too. I like the flatbread they have here with several wierd yet tasty spreads.

Jeremy E

Best pasta in town in a very homey environment. The wait tends to be long but it's well worth it and easy to pass the time by having a couple drinks while waiting in their beautiful patio area.

Madilyn Love

Oh my Satan this place is soooooo good. The pasta menu is always being updated, but they keep a few classics on so there is always something that you can enjoy if the new stuff isnt for you. The deserts are divine. Tiramisu or profiteroles, those are the truly tough decisions here.

Daniel Arend

Incredible food, great atmosphere, and unbelievable deal - we came here for the "After 8PM" special. Salad, pasta, and wine for 2, all for $45. Will absolutely be back.

Colin Soderstrom

Great food and great atmosphere. This location is medium sized so a larger group might benefit looking at other venues. Overall amazing food though!

Sarah Cassioppi

We had our first Broder’s experience tonight and it was fantastic! The staff was so knowledgeable about their menu and very accommodating to food allergies. We were so impressed and will be back!

Natasha Sanchez

Everything we tried there was amazing. You must give their cheesecake a try! Unfortunately the some how messed up their spaghetti and meatballs. You would think since it's an Italian staple that out of all things would be amazing or even good.

Grant Schoen

It's always busy, but amazing pasta! Will not disappoint. The triple D spot is Broders' Cucina across the street, but they have one of the dishes from the show on the menu here as well.

Tiffany O

The dishes remind me of my Nana's cooking. Home made pasta and great Italian dinner.

Emily Gruen

This place is so good! The pasta is so fresh and tasty, and the wonderful service made this place even better! Got the butternut squash ravioli and quadrucci with roasted chicken and would definitely recommend both!

Fedor Korsakov

Charming and cozy atmosphere, well-varied and delicious pasta. Excellent for dates and family get-togethers, but make sure to arrive close to the opening time, as it fills up quickly.

Melissa L. Petzel Rose

Delicious! Can't wait until the next time I get to eat here! One of my favorite Italian restaurants in the entire US (including NYC!) THAT'S how good it is!

Brian Regan

Amazing pasta, friendly service and what a bread basket. Very delicious Italian offerings from appetizer to dessert. I will definitely be back when in the area.

Lisa Kelber

The food (we had an assortment) was excellent. The service was efficient. It gets quite busy and the wait line can be long. I'd advise to eat early or late.

JW S

Too good....affordable price high quality food only downside is typical very long wait time

Andrew O

Top 3 things: 1. Fettuccine Bolognese - the best - get it 2. Staff is extremely friendly/knowledgeable and I have seen the same faces there for years 3. This is an ideal date night restaurant for a couple Things I wish I knew ahead of time: 1. No reservations so get here early if you can 2. Don't forget about the patio - different menu but also excellent

Rick Barksdale

Lives up to the hype of some of the best take out pasta you can find. A delicious selection of Italian dishes

Mona R

Pasta perfectly made, good wine choices and knowledgeable staff. No reservations, though. Go earlier or later than peak supper time and prepare to wait. It's worth it!

Alex Nee

Great food. Four stars for long line and no reservations. Pro tip: budget time an hour or so in advance to stop in and put your name on the list for a table.

Richard Ruesenberg

First time here, and was not disappointed, the many choices should satisfy any pasta lover.

Hassan M

Easy-access location with some off street parking. The interior was a little dim lit and the restaurant design was ok. The service was absolutely excellent amongst all the staff and the food was delicious.

Sandra Meyer

Divine. If you want a lovely dinner and attentive service in a warm neighborhood establishment, three words: eat pasta here. (Alternatively, the quail available on the summer outdoor bar is excellent too.)

Melissa Shea

I always love eating here. Food is excellent. They don't take reservations, but I've noticed it slows down around 9pm for later dining.

laura h

So awesome! I can't believe it took me so long to get here. I will absolutely be going back. We loved everything on the menu we tried and there were so many delicious looking items we didn't get to try!

Troy O'Donnell

Our go to pasta restaurant. Everything we've ever ordered is wonderful. The staff is always so pleasant

Sierra Morris

My husband and I absolutely love Broders' - the food is always delicious and the staff is so attentive. It is one of our favorite pasta spots in Minneapolis!

Kevin C

I'm an out-of-towner that ate here with relatives...we had 4 different pastas and a risotto....all were excellent. The pasta dishes here are on par with Luciano's in my hometown of Detroit.

Brian Hamric

Broder's is my favorite restaurant in the Twin Cities. Great, fresh and reasonably priced meals with seasonal favorites. Always a wait but so very worth it.

Tammy Bunes

Warm inviting space, friendly service and good food. Cherry chocolate cheesecake was amazing

Wyatt Heimlich

If you’re looking for great food, and even better customer service, Broders is your place! Always quick to fix a problem!

Yash Chhajed

One of the most genuine Italian restaurants that I have visited. They do offer modifications for any vegetarian/vegan entrees. Staff is very welcoming and helpful as well.

Nick Benish

My girlfriend and I have been here twice now and everything we have ordered had been fantastic. Good service, good portioning. We especially like the Tagliarini.

Thomas Phillips

Good food, good wine. Small space inside, seat yourself patio with wine and tapas makes it nice to wait for a table. Kind of warm inside in the summer though. Food is worth it thooub

Darryl Kollodge

Food was very good. Service was good. Dining area is cramped and noisy. Drinks were over priced. $12 for a small glass of inexpensive wine.

Dylan Osiecki

Small place and long wait, even on a weeknight. Service was okay, could have been a bit more friendly. Food was a bit pricey, but excellent. Worth going to try it, maybe will go again eventually.

Brandon Buckli

My favorite Italian place in Minnesota. Plan ahead of you want to get a table. The wait can get long in the peak times but they offer wine and beer while you wait.

Josh

Somewhat cramped dining area but the food was excellent.

Pranav Maddula

One of the best resturants in the twin cities. Everyone has gotta try this place at least once. Just be warned of the usual hour plus wait to get seated.

Alexander Ramm

Always tastes great. During popular times be prepared to wait a while to be seated. The parking lot is small, but there is plenty of free street parking nearby.

Madison Foerderer

Broder's is a great spot. The best pasta in the Twin Cities.

Rob Wild

Fantastic! Food was incredible! They only sell beer and wine, no cocktails. So keep that in mind if that bothers you. Parking can be a challenge also.

Nicholas Zimet

The pasta bar is one of our our all time favorite places in Minneapolis!

Curtis Ferrill (curtyjo31)

Awesome place, definitely one of the best places I've ate at, anywhere! Portions appear small but in the end I was very content. After a delicious chocolate cake desert I was full.

Chuck Banks

It had been too long from the last time we ate at Broder's, great pasta dishes. Have never been disappointed with the food or service during the last thirty years of going to Broder's.

Asa Morral

Very Cute atmosphere although a little smokey at times. Wide spread menu of delicious food. Service slightly lacking

Guillaume Jacobs

Great pasta place! Always an amazing experience. They do not take reservations so be ready to wait 15 - 30 minutes

Jaymeson Fidencio

This place obviously knows how to satisfy their clients. Constantly with a super friendly attitude. The food is fairly priced, regularly delightful and neat.

Hillarie Welsh

Great food and great service! I have been twice and each time has been wonderful. I love sitting at the bar watching the open kitchen.

Teresa Gur

Hi Broders'Pasta I am Teresa from Maranello Italy and I just saw on in tv the Food program where you are good. If I can I would like to tell you that in bolognese ragù it is not our habit to put nutmeg and for a super meat ragù you can use veal, Parma ham (the skeet ham) and mortadella all minced twice. I do not even use buttebutter. If you try let me know ! By..

Garrett Miller

One of my favorite restaurants in Mpls. I get the same thing everytime because it never disappoints. The flourless chocolate cake is one of the best desserts you'll have.

Carl Brown

This place is always phenomenally good. It's my favorite Italian restaurant and, despite how good any single menu item might be, #11 is a favorite, you'd be cheating yourself to ignore the others.

Aaron Spiegle

The outdoor patio space was awesome for a date night with attentive service and fresh and delicious pasta dishes.

D C

All I can say is you will never have a bad pasta dish at Broders Pasta Bar!!! Great selection of pastas and wines to pair... Consistency is the name of the game at Broders ☺

katherine bingen

Great food, great service, great atmosphere. They have the best pasta in the twin cities!

Jeremy Barnes

Excellent, fresh, homemade pasta. Very tasty! Get there early, when we left there was already a 1hr 30 minute wait!

Abbie Christensen

Delicious food and great wine! Not too spendy, but there is a bit of a wait! I recommend for a fun, intimate food experience

Ashwin Mathews

One of the best places in town for Italian. Never have they failed to impress me. Ever friendly staff too.

Jennifer Davis

Two words: fresh. pasta. Layer fresh pasta with amazing sauces, crunchy bread and perfectly prepared veggies and meat. Broder's is an easy choice. When we're close, we eat in or takeout.

jason turtle

Best restaurant in Minneapolis, especially for the money. Wonderful atmosphere.

Adam McCabe

Food and service were excellent, but just a very small waiting area. Grab a drink somewhere else if you're early because it will get cramped in there.

Logan Arendt

Food is super good! but you will probably need to expect waiting to get a table. there is a very small dining area for customers.

Levi Indvik

Amazing service and amazing food! Clearly listed vegan options on their menu is a plus!

Neil Johnson

My wife and I went for our anniversary. Quiet corner table. Food is great

Virginia Clay

The food was amazing and the ambience was very nice. I appreciate all of the Covid 19 precautions being taken. I felt safe and well taken care of!

Tonya Adrienne

It's a little place and seating is difficult at times, but the food is wonderful. Their desserts are my favorite :)

Torvald Odegaard

Absolutely amazing! The late night date night specials on Mon-Thurs after 830pm are unbeatable. Take your wife/girlfriend and have an amazing time.

Jeorgie Pie

So good! We love this restaurant. Favorite date spot, but just recently went for my mom's birthday.

Tara Peterson

Some of the best pasta I have ever had. Great service, romantic atmosphere. I absolutely LOVE this restaurant

Matthew Daves

Great food! No reservations taken.

Steven duenow

Good food. You can't find rabbit that often.

Craig Burris

They always have unique dishes and excellent wine recommendations. I highly recommend any of their dishes with wild boar.

YasSacramento DotCom

Wasn't a huge fan of Italian food until I tried Broder's. Sublime ✨️

Megan Garrity

Best little little jem aroumd. You will have to wait, but it is so worth it! You can grab a drink while you wait and make some new friends...Be sure to try the new dishes of the season.

Justin Jennissen

Fancy as heck. Sit at the bar get some wine and pasta. Nice staff. Very busy be prepared for a line. One of my faves.

Naomi Shapiro

Excellent fresh pasta. Knowledgeable wait staff. You may have a longer wait for a tabke, but the innovative menu is worth the wait

Christina Dean

It was lovely with nice food. The rabbit and panna Cotta was wonderful

Malorie Harding

I came here for amazing pasta and I was not disappointed - don’t be fooled by the humble pricing, the flavors are complex, the pasta house made. Eat pasta. Drink wine. Just do it.

Miguel Mellon

Terrific atmosphere with a lovely open kitchen. The food is absolutely amazing, definitely a great place to celebrate or date night.

Samuel Ferg

My wife and I have been here many times and always have a good experience. Service is great and food is great.

Adam Gesy

The most amazing Italian my wife and I have ever had! The service was top notch and we will definitely be returning!

Mariah Cordero

Service and food are always on point. Always something new to try with amazing wine choices. I love it here.

Charlene Bernard

Omg so delicious. This place hasn't disappointed yet. Try to come every time I come to town.

Seth Leventhal

Broder's never disappoints. EXCEPT if you are impatient because it can be a long wait before you're seated. Have a beer or wine, hang out, make an evening of it, though, and you will not be disappointed (if you are a pasta fan, at least). They have a smart-phone app now where you're placed on a waitlist and you can monitor the progress of when you'll be seated, which helps with uncertainty and impatience.

Misty Ham-Quick

Amazing pasta. Always a good experience. It's tiny and they don't take reservations, so be prepared to wait.

David Lammers

Great spot!! Delicious

some doctor

$$$ [price] but well worth it. Italian inspired dishes from scratch with a great ambiance - hard to beat for a date night location

Dawn Rehrauer

Great little Italian place, amazing food, good service. Staff did a great job pairing the wine with our food.

Michellie Dando

This place is amazing! The service is fantastic and the food is phenomenal!! Special thanks to Ashley for pointing me in the right direction all night!!

Sharon Hatfield

Absolutely love Broders! Best pasta in Twin Cities.

Otabek Atadjanov

Great food. Good service. Very cramped space though. I wouldn't go on a date there unless I knew the person well

Mike Gilbert

Great food, good ambiance, good service. Small place, so expect a wait if going during regular dining hours.

Olov “The Swedish Chef” Strole

A favorite on my list of places to go to. Amazing food. Casual dining. Great Friday date night place.

Dan Belfry

Great neighborhood gem. Fantastic pastas that change with the season. Friendly service and comprehensive wine list.

C Johnson

Great pasta dishes, not overly pricey for the quality of food. The braised rabbit dish was incredible.

Aaron Luhm

My girlfriend and I got there with a decent wait, maybe 15 -20 minutes, but its entirely worth the wait. Food and drinks were spot on. 5/5.

John Acosta

Hospitality and service was great. Food was also great. Only bad thing is their parking lot is small and hard to find parking on the street. Otherwise great place.

JB Steiner

My favorite Italian restaurant in the world. I miss Broder's so much... ! It was always worth the wait and the staff was always great!

Alex Burt

Fantastic service and great food every time. Server was very patient with us amateurs answering wine pairing questions for our entree.

Max Johnson

Fresh pasta was superb. Very nice atmosphere...professional and friendly service. A must for foodies.

Broders has the best pizza in Minneapolis. The place reminds me of the pizza I had in Italy. Not many places in Minneapolis can do that.

Lincoln Addis

Everything was delicious! Great service. Perfect for a special dinner out.

Maggie Igel

my inlaws used to live in Italy, they say this is the closest they have ever come to having food like you would get in Italy. We have never been disappointed!

Food was absolutely excellent. Authentic Italian and easily the best I've ever had.

Doug Luby

Good wine and great food, awesome atmosphere. A little cramped and a long wait.

Incredible flavor and welcoming kind staff. Not as pricey as you'd expect - go when there's a discount or couple's prices.

C Don

The best Italian in Minnesota. Period

Julie Love

Amazing food and good service, they don't take reservations but are for sure worth the wait.

Nolan Kaiser

We had been wanting to go here for 4 years and could not get a table! We were finally able to try it out today and it was great!!!

Cozy atmosphere and the food was amazing! Can't wait to go back and try everything on the menu.

Jim F.

No traditional Lasagna but everything we ordered was delicious.

Meghan

I had the risotto and it was fantastic. Great service as well.

Michele Johnson

The place is great for broasted chicken but do not drink their in house Cabernet house wine I wound up extremely sick the next day just drinking half of a half a glass of their wine and I work in the medical field and my head felt like mush for 4 days straight so I will never drink their house wine again

Kari Dorsher

Great authentic Italian dishes, wide variety and kids options too. Great wine, appetizers and dessert options!

Jennifer Ourada

I have been a customer of theirs off and on for 20 years. The service is always fast, the food delicious, and the atmosphere inviting.

my absolute favorite pasta in the cities for the past 10+ years. Can’t go wrong with anything.

Hass Salti

Good Service and food .

Keith Smith

Great food, but if you're not eating an early dinner expect a wait

Mike Colicchio

Start outside and enjoy the great apps and wine. Go inside for dinner for fresh pasta and rissoto. Nice.

Louai Alarabi

Very delicious food. Liked the pasta a lot. Service is great.

spencer smith

Amazing food at a reasonable price. Highly recommend for date night.

Nathaniel Meierpolys

Love the fresh pasta dishes. Don't miss the cracker flat bread and focaccia

Jason Bourne

Increidble eat and borderline authentic.

Phil Degash

Had the spag aglio olio,and it kept the vampire's away. Just kidding, great food. This is hard to beat in MN.

Joyce Elliott

With sparkling white lights and homemade Italian cuisine, this restaurant was as dear as the restaurant in Lady and the Tramp.

Amanda Yang

Food is fine. Not that impressive. But my husband and I enjoyed the service.

Matt Todd

The food is always good. It can get busy sometimes so if you're going around prime time expect a bit of a wait.
