Anima Cucina is such a cute spot in Bismarck. I was greeted right away and seated promptly, and the…read moreservice throughout the meal was warm, friendly, and attentive. For a small restaurant, they also have an impressive wine selection. We started with the garlic bread, hot olives, and meatballs -- all of which were flavorful, balanced, and absolutely delicious. For entrées, our table had the breaded walleye, the Bolognese pasta, and the Porchetta. The walleye and Bolognese were outstanding, but unfortunately the Porchetta was a big letdown. The skin was chewy rather than crisp, with a thick layer of unrendered fat beneath it, and most concerning, it still had visible pig hair. I was expecting the classic combination of crackling skin, melting fat, and tender pork, but instead it was oddly undercooked on the outside, dry inside, and after biting into hair, I really lost my appetite for it. We finished with tiramisu and a torte, and both desserts were excellent -- a strong way to end the meal. Overall, Anima Cucina has a lot going for it: charming atmosphere, friendly staff, great starters, and standout entrées (other than the Porchetta). I'd happily return for the appetizers, pasta, fish, and desserts, but I'd avoid the Porchetta based on my experience.

Yea they have Twins and Timberwolves with Direct TV. Helpful bartenders who gave us some samples of local craft beers. Healthy selection of taps. We had the 'Shroom and Herbs pizza. All pizza is 12" and that seems to be their primary food option with some side options. It did not disappoint. It was wood fired pizza with premium ingredients. Lots of awesome pizza options and our goat cheese was not lacking. Sometimes you get a little bit of goat cheese scattered, but at this place it's generous goat cheese! Every bit was amazing. The crust was crispy but not burnt like some other wood fire pizzas you get. This was quite possibly the best pizza I've had in Bisman and maybe beyond. Atmosphere was pub style, very clean restrooms, and just a nice chill vibe. Parking is street or a lot by park across street. This is a new hidden gem in Bisman and I can't wait to go back and try another pizza!

I had a very upsetting experience at Broadway Grill that I feel others -- especially those with…read morefood allergies or celiac disease -- should be aware of. This happened a while back, but it bothered me so much I still think about it, so I decided to finally write a review. I ordered a gluten-free pasta dish and clearly informed the waitress that I am gluten intolerant (celiac). When the dish was brought out, I noticed a single regular noodle sitting right in the middle of the pasta. It was visibly different from the gluten-free noodles. Thankfully, I spotted it before taking a bite. Cross-contamination is a serious issue for people with celiac disease, and even one noodle can make us very sick. I asked for the dish to be taken back and explained that I was too nervous to reorder it because I didn't want to risk getting sick. Instead, I ordered a simple green side salad and specifically requested no croutons. A few bites into the salad, I found a crouton. At that point, I was extremely upset and honestly tearful. I informed the manager and explained how serious this is for me. I asked for the salad to be removed from my bill, given that it also contained gluten after I clearly requested it not to. They refused. For anyone with celiac disease or a serious gluten intolerance, this was not just an inconvenience -- it was a health risk. The repeated lack of attention to a clearly communicated medical dietary restriction, followed by the refusal to remove the contaminated item from the bill, was deeply disappointing. I hope the restaurant takes food allergies more seriously in the future and improves its kitchen practices and staff training so no one else has to go through this. Since this experience, I have never been back and would recommend others avoid going back to this restaurant.

I had the southwest eggrolls and they were phenomenal. One of my friends had the wings. Those were phenomenal, but the bartender also has to cook so if you need a drink in between, then you have to go over to the other side, which is the hobo room and ask that gal to make you a drink or if you wanna punch in food, you have to go next-door to order it, which didn't make any sense to me. It is what it is. Everybody seems to be short on staff.

He made food and drink recommendations and were hits! I had the hot Italian beef and I have to say it was a big portion and packed with flavor! The hand cut fries were also excellent! I wanted to try the wings as the person sitting next to me had them and they looked good! All meat is cured in house giving it that extra touch!

I'm sure this place is usually much busier, but I'm happy I lucked out. The staff were so friendly and attentive from the second you walk in, with such a warm welcome by the host. The restaurant felt cozy and still had plenty of diners despite the cold. I had the beet salad with goat cheese and pecans, and the bison braised short ribs. Both were excellent. I make a similar beet dish at home, so it was nice to have something simple, comforting, and genuinely delicious -- it felt like eating at home. The beef was incredibly tender and fell apart easily with just my fork. I also had the vanilla crème brûlée for dessert. It was pretty good, but it was cold, and I usually prefer it a little warm and smoother. Not quite the cozy dessert I was hoping for. That said, they had a great dessert selection, and I'm excited to come back and try something else.
