    BUCATINI CON PANCETTA E RUCOLA
    Gita B.

    Delicious first time at Broders. Intended to go for Restaurant Week, but went off the regular menu instead! The wait was 1hr45mins so we hung out at the fire pits for a bit and then went across the street to for a delicious spicy tamarind margarita. Back to Broders just in time to be seated. The meal, wine, and service were out of this world. Broders has been a bucket list item for almost 10 years! So glad to have finally made it to this Twin Cities institution. The brussels were roasted and fantastic. I had the Bucatini con Pancetta e Rucola. Al dente pasta perfectly melded with pancetta, herb & garlic mascarpone, lightly wilted arugula, sage, and crispy buttery breadcrumbs and of course parmigiano reggiano.

    What a fun place to celebrate with my gals. This is such a moody and romantic restuarant... from the wine bar at the start to the dark walls surrounding. They do not take reservations, so we prepared to wait for our group of 4, but it only took around 20ish minutes for a 6pm Thursday table- not too bad. Immediately we were served fresh bread and brought our drinks. Our server Rocky was friendly and helped us make the best choice for both those wines and the pasta. We enjoyed a variety of dishes- of which I got the pesto, it was amazing. I was a little hesistant because the menu states "potatoes and green beans" but they're small and well done that they really add to the dish. My friend got the original Fettucine Alfredo, which has a strong lemon taste- not for me- but she loved it! Overall, im really excited to come back on a date, and try even more dishes from this wonderful place.

    Caesar salad, risotto, Affogato, snowstorm. This was such a wonderful evening at Breaux's. We stopped in here on one of the snowstorm nights and enjoyed a couple bottles of wine and some delicious food. Anything you order here is never a mess, because everything is amazing. I am gluten-free and the risotto was outstanding. We did their date night special so we got two entrées, salad and wine. I ended with an avocado because what sounds better than ice cream and espresso and a snowstorm. It's so cute and Bro's, not a lot of tables which makes it very intimate and nice. We had a lovely time and will be back for more seasonal risotto.

    We came to Broders for their After 8 dinner menu for a little date night. We ate outside on the patio and it was so nice, cozy and felt like we were on vacation. Our service was great and the food came out fast and everything was made fresh, we were very impressed! We started with Fennel & Citrus Marinated Olives & Rosemary Toasted Almonds and the Caesar salad. We got the sauv blac to share. We also got LINGUINE AL PESTO GENOVESE which was very interesting. I've never had pasta with potatoes and green beans in it. The SPAGHETTI CARBONARA was really great- so fresh and yummy! It was a cute and nice little date night spot!

    Broders is a neighborhood staple, located at Penn and 50th in south Minneapolis for a very long time. It pains me to say that our recent experience there was disappointing on several levels. The dining room is cold, cramped, and desperately needs updating. Ordering is done at the counter, which is partly blocked by shelving and displays, making it difficult to form a line and know who's next in line to be served. Our food arrived in dribs and drabs. Part of us received their entrees in about 10 minutes, but after 15 minutes, others were still waiting. We approached the counterperson to ask when our food would arrive, and they told us it was rung up as a "to-go" order--despite being given a stanchion with a number to place on our table. Ten minutes later, after most had finished eating, our food finally arrived. While the portions were generous, the plates for the dinner salads were too small. The bread was stacked on top of our food, making it challenging to fork the food without the bread falling onto the table or floor. Bending down to reach the floor in such a cramped space was difficult, which should never be necessary. The chicken parm was eaten quickly. The tomato basil soup was tasty. The Greek (yes, Greek) salad was only average. The Emilia Salad, with greens, prosciutto, onion, pine nuts, and balsamic dressing, was good. Surprisingly, the pizza was considered "awful," likely sitting under a heat lamp for a while. Overall, even though some dishes were excellent, the experience was unpleasant. We're not sure if we'll return.

    We loved this meal at Broders! We sat at the bar (actually the hub of the restaurant) and I was surprised that it was comfortable, not crowded, and had a great view of the open kitchen. The service was pleasant, and efficient. My wife had the Fettuccine Alla Bolenaise, which has had before and loved it as much as before. I tried the Fettuccine con pollo ciliegie, which is pasta with chicken, cherries, balsamic vinegar, port wine, herb and garlic mascarponi, and Parmigiano Reggiano. Unlike in last review, the Fettuccine was cooked perfectly. It had a chew, but was not overly firm; a hard trick to pull off! The cherries added a sweetness and flavor that was subtle and added to the complexity. Broder's no longer allows calling ahead or reservations, so I recommend coming off-peek, assuming they ever have off-peek!

    We were recommended Broders pasta bar and the hype was a bit underwhelming. We got there at 4 on a Friday and got a table but it filled up quickly, by the time we left there was a long line. Server was friendly, a bit crowded at the tables. For the food, it was good, you can tell it's fresh pasta but wasn't something I was dying to come back for, the bread they serve is just basic with some crackers. The price for the food does not match, it was far more expensive than what I felt we were getting. Overall, it was fine but we aren't rushing to come back and would definitely not wait for the food in the line.

    Lemon fettuccine Alfredo with chicken
    Rachel O.

    The food here was fantastic! The pasta was very fresh and unique. Portions were large and filling. A variety of breads were served. The tiramisu was unique- slightly more cake like than a traditional tiramisu. The staff were friendly and attentive. The restaurant itself was clean and well decorated with upscale vibes. Would be there every week if I lived closer!!

    Per usual, Broder's Pasta Bar delivers! My brother who lives out of state has always wanted to eat here. A table of 8 and no chance for reservations can make it a bit difficult. We showed up for an early dinner and lo and behold we were all able to sit together. The hosts were fantastic and so were the servers. My fave part of this place is the homemade pastas, always cooked to perfection. This place isn't fancy but has such a wonderful friendly, neighborhood feel. We will always be back!! Tip: your entire party needs to be present before they'll seat you.

    Revisited after about 10 yrs or so and I don't know why I don't come more often !!! Had the best time at their outdoor pasta bar, everything from food , wine and service was top notch The food they serve is yummy , we got 2 entree pastas which reminded me of being back in Italy Fresh homemade ingredients- delicious flavor, seasoning on point Wine is excellent- maybe a tad bit too expensive The profiteroles dessert could use more chocolate sauce but I'm definitely going back for their special date night specials after 8pm!!! A fabulous weeknight date !

    But BURRATA / GF, V
    Richard A.

    Started out with a nice dish of various breads with olive oil. For appetizers got Barbabietole It had red and yellow beets, Gorgonzola, candied walnuts honey vinaigrette and Balsamic pears. Very good. Then got the Burrata, came with Arugula, fennel, chard Asparagus, snap peas, pistachios, lemon pistachios vinaigrette and tossed bread. Also very fresh and tasty. Main dish rigatoni with spicy sausage, tomato, bell peppers, cheese. I split it the main dish. Everything was amazing. Plenty of food and bread. Service was excellent

    Jenn D.

    Delicious, hot, house made pasta! What more can you want? The burrata salad was great to start, but the star was definitely the house made fettuccine for me. Boyfriend ordered the spaghetti and meat balls which was also really good. It's a small restaurant that does not take reservations so plan accordingly for long wait times - but so worth it!

    TAGLIARINI DI LOCANDA DE LUPO
    Sean P.

    One of the best Italian restaurants in Minneapolis. Great food, excellent service, and reasonable prices. Can't miss! If I had one complaint, it would be the somewhat small wine list (including the fact they were sold out of several on an already small list). For food specifically, the tagliarini is a must! Fantastic dish with a unique crisp texture and packed with fresh lemony flavor. It's unlike any pasta dish I've had and an absolute standout!

    Is the linguine made fresh at Broder's Pasta Bar? Just ate there and I would guess not.

    Since it is not listed in the menu as either "Egg" or "Eggless", I believe that means its dried pasta. To be sure, you'd have to call them directly.
