Broders' Pasta Bar

"When it comes to pasta, no one does it quite like Broders’ Pasta Bar. With more than 30 pastas and risottos in addition to two specials that rotate weekly, Broders’ has a pasta for everyone. Notably, there are plenty of options for vegans here, including a paccheri served with a silky eggplant caponata, currants, capers, and cocoa; or a spaghetti aglio olio that is beautiful in its simplicity: just perfectly al dente spaghetti with golden-brown coins of garlic and plenty of extra-virgin olive oil (with anchovies and chile flakes on request)." - Julie Yu

"Broders’ Pasta Bar, a jewel in the Broder family’s collection of Minneapolis restaurants (which includes Broders’ Cucina Italiana and Terzo) is worthy of a Lady and the Tramp pasta moment. Try the classics — like the spaghetti carbonara, the bolognese, or the gnocchi pomodoro. (A simple eggless pasta with tomatoes and olive oil is available for vegans.) Broder’s is elegant but not overly formal — the wooden wrap-around bar is a great place to share a cozy dinner." - Eater Staff

"At this cozy neighborhood favorite, the date night menu is the way to go, running from Sunday through Thursday and with rotating offerings that often feature the best of the main dining menu. Start with a crisp Caesar salad, then pick anything from a caper-heavy puttanesca to a fragrant, housemade bolognese." - Julie Zhou

"Broders’ Pasta Bar, the pasta-focused element of the local Broder family’s restaurants, is worthy of a Lady and the Tramp pasta moment. It’s elegant but not overly formal, time-worn and well-loved — the wooden wrap-around bar is a great place to share a cozy dinner. Try the classics, like the spaghetti carbonara, the bolognese, or the gnocchi pomodoro. (A simple eggless pasta with tomatoes and olive oil is available for vegans.)" - Justine Jones, Jon Cheng
