Broders' Cucina Italiana

The Best Classic Italian Restaurants in the Twin Cities | Eater Twin Cities

"This restaurant and deli — the first of the Broder family’s slate of Italian restaurants, which now includes Broders’ Pasta Bar and Terzo — first opened in 1982. Grab a loaf of house-baked focaccia and an Italian meatball sub from the takeout counter, or come for a sit-down meal of fettuccine bolognese. Broder’s is a great spot for a date night." - Justine Jones

"Broders’ Cucina Italiana remains temporarily closed following a fire in the restaurant on April 2. As staff continues to evaluate the damage, clean up, and make repairs, they’ve brought food donations to Fire Stations 27 and 28, to show appreciation for firefighters’ prompt response. Keep an eye on Broders’ Instagram page for reopening news — in the meantime, diners can still eat at Broders’ Pasta Bar or Terzo, and buy Broders’ pasta sauces in grocery stores around the Cities." - Justine Jones

Southwest Minneapolis’ longtime Italian deli turns out foldable slices and whole pies alongside pastas and subs. Recent local coverage noted expanded seating and renewed focus on those classic New York–leaning slices.

Part deli, pizzeria, and Italian market since 1982, the Cucina anchors the Broders’ corner with New York‑style slices, fresh pasta, and groceries. After Terzo’s 2025 closure, the family announced an expansion here—a sign of its deep neighborhood ties, reported by the Star Tribune.
