This is one of my all time favorite places in Minneapolis! I've been there multiple times and just can't get anything other than the Quadrucci con Pollo because I love it so much! They have a great wine selection and wonderful appetizers and desserts. Definitely a must-visit if you're in the mood for Italian!

Amazing place. What a find! Fresh made pasta - I had the lamb ragu, which was very "rustica" style. Amazing. The seasonal salad was wonderful. Perfectly dressed on top of beautiful greens. Excellent wine and service (sat at the bar). A great, great place. Trust me.

Went to Broders for the first time on a recent trip. The food was excellent and the service was pretty good considering every table in the house was full and there was a line waiting out the door. The quality of the food was what really impressed me here. The pasta was excellent and the sauces were skillfully done and... More

Broder's Pasta Bar is a great place for a date or to take the family out for a delicious meal. The pasta is great but I prefer the risotto dishes.

We had read about Broder's and we had always wanted to have a meal there but we could never arrange it because they don't take reservations. Last Sunday we were able to eat early before a concert so we checked out the restaurant. We started with some white wine, an excellent Pinot Bianco. Then we each had a spectacular ceasar... More

Went here during the big snowstorm, instead of fighting traffic. Good move. Thanks to the bad weather there was no lineup and we got seats right away. Although it was nearly full within the hour. Absolutely everything here impressed us. Totally 100% Italian in food and wine, though there were some US beers. We could happily have had anything on... More

The pizza place we were planning on going to was over a 2 hour wait so we "settled" for Broders' and we were glad it worked out this way. First visit but definitely going back.

Love this food and even though it is so much more beautiful when it is warm (outside eating!), it always has delicious Italian. Don't pass on dessert

We were going to Minneapolis for the Motorcycle Show and have done this for years. We always look for something else to do and make a weekend of it. I was watching the Foodnetwork and Drive-ins, Diners and Dives were featuring Broders on the show and they prepared their Bolognese and I had to have it. I went on line... More

Your first impression upon looking from the outside won't be good....but once seated you will find the wait staff friendly and knowledgeable. The food is prepared with care and delicious. There are many dishes to choose from. I've been there dozens of times and never disappointed. Go there, you'll love it.
