Brodeto

The food was great! Our server, I think her name was Jordan, was awesome. She made great recommendations. The drinks were great and there was a great wine selection. The mushrooms were my favorite. Never had them cooked that way. The pork chop and the lamb chops were cooked to a perfect perfection. So much flavor. The sauces were so good. The octopus salad we very good. Never had it prepared that way. Best olive oil cake that I have ever had. Will definitly be back!

Absolutely fantastic. This is by far one of the best restaurants I’ve been to in the triangle. Everything from the pork belly/octopus salad to the innovative drinks and pasta dishes were phenomenal. Service was top notch. This is Italian with a Mediterranean focus. We will definitely be back!

We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner at Brodeto last night! I am gluten free and they were happy to provide alternative options like really good gluten free potato bread to dip in their whipped ricotta and gluten free breadcrumbs on the octopus. Everything we ate was well seasoned and cooked well. The only minor was the grilled octopus was a touch chewy. Overall we had a great experience.

One of the greatest experiences in Raleigh. Fantastic food. After my dinning experience I stepped in talked to the chef about how amazing my experience is. Let the staff know they did wonderful job as well. I will definitely be back. Only problem is to make a good time reservation 😜

I’ve been there three times already and finally got a chance to write a review. Every dish was well-seasoned, and my favorites were the Caesar salad and the urchin black squid pasta. The wine selection was well-curated, and the service was on point!

Brodeto is another beautiful and vibrant restaurant from the Crawford group. The restaurant is gorgeous and the service is top notch and first class. The food is very good and very tasty. We ordered small plates and entrees. The only complaint i have re entrees was the spicy shrimp entree literally had 2 shrimp, which seemed a bit small for an entree. I didn't expect a dozen but I think at least 4 would be better, or 5. I felt a little short changed w just 2 shrimp. But it was tasty. They also have amazing breads, cocktails, and desserts

We ordered for the table lots of dishes and shared! The potato bread was amazing since 3 of us are gluten-free. Everything was amazing! I especially loved the beet salad! I can't remember the names of the dishes. My son ordered for us lol.

Omg! Where do I start? I was looking for a place to eat on google maps and chose this restaurant because of the beautiful lighting and interior design shown on a picture from another review. Upon entering the venue, it was gorgeous and very clean. I would recommend making a reservation in advance, although I did not my first time, but they will still accommodate you in the schedule allows. The food was beyond delicious. The drinks were amazing and they even have seasonal options available. We enjoyed oysters and scallops for appetizers. For our entree we had chef recommended steak, lamb chops, an order of black risotto, as well as a side of zucchini. Everything was absolutely magnificent. We were introduced to the manager on duty at the time. Sadly, I did not take note of her name or my waitress, but they were both extremely informative and a delight to speak to. I let it be known that I will indeed be back and I assure you that you will enjoy your experience if you go as well.

This is a marvelous date night spot! My friend surprised me with a girls night at Brodeto for my last night in town - and it was such a delightful surprise. We ate what felt like everything, and everything was outstanding. We started with the whipped ricotta and beat salad - both of which were light, yet flavorful. The server recommended the ricotta with a different local bread and it was divine- fluffy and soaked in olive oil. Afterwards, I had the gnocchi which is typically not my favorite dish. This was noticeably lighter and the beef was so tender it broke apart so easily. Definitely better than any other gnocchi I have had. I should have stopped there - but our waiter was persistent on how divine the dessert was (especially calling out the custard). Oh man. That vanilla custard was like an angel's pillow. It was beautifully smooth and rich - a reason to visit Raleigh all on its own. Then we paired it with a dense lemon olive oil cake. Wow. Simply amazing. I don't know if they advertise themselves as a dessert restaurant - but it was easily the best thing i consumed during my weekend trip.

I went to Brodeto last night with some friends and left feeling really annoyed and disappointed. The food is not terrible. Admittedly I am allergic to shellfish and nuts, which significantly cut down on my options but that's absolutely no fault of the restaurant. I got the gnocchi which was pretty good. The breads were also quite good. The potatoes were a little lack luster (hard to do with a potato IMO!!!) and my friends generally enjoyed their dishes. The problem was the service. When we were seated, it took a while for the server to get to us. And she wouldn't take our drink order until the 2nd or 3rd time to the table to fill us in on what our experience would be. Kind of odd and slow, but not a big deal. When we finally got our drink order in, we weren't able to order bread or small plates, we had to order everything all at once, and once again the server left. So it took MULTIPLE visits before we could even get the food order in. By the time we were done eating, the server told us we had 10 minutes to wrap it up. Ummmm??? What? I've never had that happen. When we were nearing what must have been our ten minute mark, a different server came to "collect our linens". Are you serious? It was such a rude and bizarre way to tell us to get out. All of this is all the more annoying because we couldn't even order food or drinks for SO long. It seems like they're not quite sure how to manage a restaurant and reservations. I don't like leaving a restaurant feeling like that, which prompted me to want to give others a heads up!

I'm ashamed I brought my guests here. Not sure what others are eating, but this place was miss after miss after terrible miss. It was like a hipster who watched the food channel for a month used his trust fund to open a restaurant. The entire concept is bad. The portions are "shareable" except when they're not. A dish serves either one or five without much warning. The experience is just so uneven and poorly executed. The crudo was so bad 3/4 remained on the plate. I wish I could throw it back into the sea. The a la carte bread was an effort of frustration as we destroyed it with the dullest knife ever made. The anchovy butter was literally a slab of butter with whole anchovies on top, making it impossible to serve well. The mussels were a welcome breath of eatable food. The heart salad was decent. Hard to mess up a dressed up Caesar. The gnocchi was fine but a slab of unidentifiable, uncuttable meat took up half the plate. The ravioli was ravioli. The prawns were fine but it's about four bites total. The streak was a surprising letdown. Not sure how they mess that up. Temp was ok but stringy. and too salty somehow. I took home a large bag of leftovers and instantly threw them away. Even the cocktails were bad. The cio tasted like pink malort with the most bitter aftertaste. The service was achingly slow. Ambiance was ok but room amplified echoing despite the pathetic room treatments. This place has zero idea what it's doing.

The ambience was top-notch, the service was second to none, and the food was absolutely out of this world. I couldn't get enough of the ricotta mandarin pistachio dip - it was the perfect match for their fresh bread. I went with the orecchiette pasta with sausage, and every bite was packed with flavor. To top it all off, I had the chance to try the olive oil cake with whipped mascarpone, and I loved that it wasn't overly sweet, just the right note to end on!

We started with the Razor clams, this is a rare seafood to find on a menu and the reason we ordered them, it comes with 2 clams about 4-5 inches long and 1 1 inch wide, the clams come chopped and mixed with garlic, lemon and salsa rossa. delicious...Also, try the amberjack, this is my favorite raw fish...super good. Next the Little Gem hearts salad was one of the best prepared Cesar salads I have had, however, it is very large and can easely be spit with 4 people. Then, Coursed out perfectly, came the Linguine al Nero, (sea urchin butter, chile pangrattato), this was my favorite dish of the night. Our main dish was the whole roasted pork chop and while it was very tasty, I was too full to really enjoy it, had on 2 slices. I cant wait to go back and enjoy some other innovative items on this menu. Good job Brodeto.

This restaurant is very cozy modern aesthetic with high class food. I came here for an anniversary with my husband. We were able to get a reservation for 6:15 on a Saturday. The party of two tables were definitely crowded where we were seated. Waitresses can barely scoot by to help with the menu without getting in another persons space. Everything we ordered felt flavorful and fresh. Our favorite dinner order was the tuna crudo probably and then all of the deserts we tried olive oil cake as well as the vanilla bean affogato were so good.

One of my favorite meals from 2024 was back in the summer when I was in my home state of North Carolina. My folks treated me to a dinner at Brodeto, chef Scott Crawford's love letter to the cuisine of southern Italy and Croatia. Beautifully crafted dishes. Including risotto, focaccia, and their signature soup dishes Brodeto and Pika ! I loved the vibe here and the service was great. Very hip area to be in with the Iron works location . The only specific constructive feedback I can give, was that a couple dishes were a bit saltier than I would have liked ( I suspect this might also be tied to the style of the cuisine) #croatian #italian

I recently visited Brodeto, a restaurant that promises a fusion of Croatian and Italian Adriatic cuisine, but left me with mixed feelings. On the positive side, the staff was genuinely nice and attentive, which made for a welcoming experience. However, the menu left much to be desired. The selection of Croatian wines and spirits was extremely limited - and not in a way that might be justified by a curated, high-end offering. Instead, it felt like they were simply missing the mark on authenticity. The much-hyped "peka" dishes, which were supposed to feature items like bread, octopus, veal, and lamb, were unbalanced. The bread was burnt, and none of the dishes had the authentic flavors of Croatian cuisine that I would expect, especially coming from someone born and raised in Dalmatia, Split. There wasn't even the Istrian fuzi, a classic that would have tied together the Italian and Croatian influences of the menu. Overall, it seems that the restaurant might be run by individuals who have only a superficial understanding of the Adriatic culinary tradition. If you're a local or someone well-versed in the regional flavors, you might find the experience disappointing. On the other hand, if you've never been to Croatia or Italy and aren't familiar with the authentic taste of Adriatic cuisine, you might find it passable. Pozdrav od Hrvata i nemojte ovdje ostavljat novac. Jer vlasnici nemaju pojma sta je domaća kujinja. Da im nije konobara dobili bi samo jednu zvizdu.

Meal was very good with some slight improvements this place could be a home run. Overall the food was very good but some things just need a slight alteration to add a bit more punch or another layer of flavor to really take each dish to the next level. Service was perfect and nice made our evening so good and enjoyable. The interior was very nice and inviting. We shared every dish we had to start Amberjack crudo, faccia, pagacia, and mussels. Crudo was the favorite of the meal for us. The crudo the fish was so tender. It was perfectly balanced with capers and sauce. Mussels were very good the sauce added a nice amount of spice but the bread crumbs were too heavy and you couldn't taste much of the mussels. The breads our favorite faccia it was well balanced buttery and crusty with some nice olive oil. The pacia was a little too dry and it was burnt it had a bad bitter aftertaste. I think we didn't get the full experience but it was our least favorite. For mains we got the black risotto, Busiate al Limon, gnocchi, and grilled prawns. Overall our favorite gnocchi was well balanced between savoryness of the fish and freshness of the beans. Black risotto was very good but it needs some chili flakes and some acidity to give it more depth of flavor. Brusiat was very good had nice flavor to it with perfectly cooked ingredients but need some chili flakes or another ingredient to add some more depth with savory or some lemon. Desert we got some olive oil cake and vanilla bean gillato. Both were good but the cake was a little dry and the vanilla had a little too much of olive oil on it over powering the vanilla bean flavor to me. Overall I would recommend this place and look forward to coming back.

TLDR: Good stuff, but as others have pointed out, they need to use less salt. Made a reservation a few days ahead for 6 people and had an awesome meal here! Definitely one of the best new restaurants in Raleigh. We tried: + Tuna crudo + amberjack crudo + Housemade ricotta + foccacia + little gem hearts + octopus carpaccio + Black risotto + Ravioli + agnolotti + whole roasted branzino + Vanilla bean and raspberry sorbetto twist + Olive oil cake + Italian dark chocolate custard My absolute favorite bites were the risotto and the raspberry sorbetto. Next favorites were the ricotta, ravioli and the other two desserts. Apparently the (incredible) bread that comes with the ricotta is available a la carte, so will be ordering that next time. Amberjack crudo is also worth getting - I liked how the dill and capers give it a bagel vibe - but you can skip the tuna. Everything else was really solid. They could pull back on the salt a bit (with the salad and pastas especially) but overall I thought it was excellent. Desserts brought it to a 5!

I went here for a milestone birthday. The ambiance is rustically elevated and you felt like every spoon or dish had a visual purpose. And, yes, you must get the Caesar salad!! Every leaf of lettuce was expertly dressed and included a delightful toasted breadcrumb crunch! It was an experience! Every dish we had was just as delicious as it was beautiful. Highly recommend!

Honestly best food experience I have had in a while! Their wine selection to pair with food is complementary for every course. Their tuna was to DIE for! I'm thinking about it now! The presentation and attention to detail was impeccable. I had the lemon casarecce dish and it was delicious. Great service, do not arrive expecting traditional Italian cuisine, this is Elevated! Their oysters are the best I've had in Raleigh NC. So fresh! I can't wait o go back! Everything left me on a good high I didn't take any pictures, I was soaking it in!

Quality service, quality ingredients, beautiful presentation, but everything was so salty! Amberjack Crudo had big pieces and a tasty sauce, but capers made it overly salty Little gem salad was 1 of the highlights. Loved the pecorino cheese & if this was the only dish with this much salt, would've been fine. Black risotto has a generous portion of octopus & fresh basil. Brodeto seafood stew - gorgeous, huge pieces of prawn, fish, mussels, & clams, but such a salty broth. You def need bread to balance it out Peka lamb stew - the least salty of the dishes, but took me a while to appreciate the flavor because my taste buds had been overstated Whole roasted branzino - amazingly deboned (seriously, no bones at all!) and butterflied, but did not need that much salt, nor did the tomato salad need salt Grilled summer squash - expected more than 4 slices, but very tasty garlic almond topping Dark Chocolate custard dessert. Rich dark chocolate with nice bites of toffee & hazelnuts. The service made it such a lovely experience, I only wish I didn't have to chug so much water to balance out all the salt I just consumed.

My family and I had a wonderful experience at Brodeto. We secured a reservation on the first day bookings opened, and I am thrilled that we did. Upon our arrival, we were promptly seated. As soon as we entered, we felt like we had been transported to Southern Italy and Croatia. The ambiance was light, airy, and inviting. Water was already on the table when we sat down, and our server informed us that our dedicated server for the evening would be with us shortly. Our server, Mandi, was friendly, knowledgeable about the menu, and exuded a cool vibe. We sought her recommendations on wine and ended up sampling a few before settling on a delightful white wine, the Gini "Soave Classico" 2022. When it came time to order, we had a few inquiries and ultimately chose the following: Wine: Gini "Soave Classico" 2022 Handcrafted Breads: Croatian Pogaca Small Plates: Coal Roasted Wild Mussels Pasta & Rice: Ravioli Seafood: Spicy Octopus We were all pleased with our selections and left feeling quite satisfied. The service, ambiance, and cuisine were exceptional, and we definitely plan to return. P.S. If you are dining with children, I highly recommend the Ravioli. Overall, we had a fantastic experience and eagerly anticipate our next visit.

Wow! What an amazing addition to Iron Works. The interior of the restaurant is beautiful and you can tell they thought of everything. Our server was super friendly and made some great wine recommendations. Starting out with the straciatello and it did not disappoint. Loved the salted strawberries and the bread cooked in pork fat that accompanied it. The other highlight for me was the spaghetti Al Nero. The pasta and sauce was just so delicious and flavorful. The whole branzino and the salt cod potatoes were also spot on. I'd order everything again! For dessert we had the olive oil cake and the vanilla and hazelnut gelato twist. The cake was moist and delicious. The star for me was the gelato though, I would eat that everyday. Looking forward to heading back in soon!

Good was delicious, staff was attentive and friendly. I like the ambiance. I highly recommend trying this place, its unique and good food.

First visit to the latest Scott Crawford (Jolie, Crawford & Sons, Crawford Cookshop) restaurant, at the Raleigh Iron Works. It's billed as "Adriatic Italian Croation fare, which is an apt description. It's a beautiful, carefully curated rectangular room, with bar to the right, tables in the center, open kitchen at the back. There's a room with wide doors on the left for private parties. The marble bar is under-lit, as is the bar back displaying bottles. Plenty of light wood in the room. Tables are wood top, chairs of Scandinavian design. A low wall demarks the center, with banquette seating on both side; tables and chairs facing the banquette. It's a very sleek look, with attention to detail. Service is outstanding, as in all Crawford restaurants. Fresh silverware for every course. Dusting away crumbs with each course. Precisely the right amount of attention to ensure no unmet need without being an interruption. Our server, Jacob was terrific. Personable, charming and knowledgeable, he explained the menu, made some recommendations and timed the courses perfectly. THANK YOU! Special shout out to Amber, who came by to check on us. For an appetizer, chose tuna crudo and stracciatella. The tuna was spectacular - the highest grade, uber fresh tuna, sliced thin and topped with dollops of chopped capers and colatura (a salty fish sauce) and drizzled with smoked olive oil. The tuna is firm and slightly sweet, the capers/colatura combo adds saltiness and the olive oil a hint of smoke and earthiness. A great combo. Stracciatella is mozzarella that is stretched until if forms thin strands. The taste is very similar to burrata, the consistency more like mozzarella. It's served with thin slices of green and red strawberries. By itself, the cheese is outstanding. But - tear of a hunk of the freshly-baked and still warm lepinja and put some of that cheese on top - wow! Lepinja (I learned) is traditional balkan flatbread. A nice crunchy crust, fluffy moist and yeasty in the middle, painted with oil before serving. From there, tried peka. Peka is a Croation delicacy; a stew of meat and vegetables. The take here is chunks of lamb and pork belly, plus carrots, potatoes and fennel, all slow-simmered to tender perfection in a rich broth which includes wine of some sort. The aroma wafting from the clay pot (which our server uncovered at the table) made my mouth water. The peka could have been hotter at serving, it was tepid. But delicious nonetheless. Pro Tip - save some bread for dipping - that broth is sublime. Also tried grilled cobia. A nice sized cobia steak is grilled perfectly medium and served over leeks and small potatoes, topped with a mound of red and green lettuce tossed in a lemony dressing. The cobia is firm and white, not oily or fishy tasting. Another great combination. Lastly dessert - tried Italian Dark Chocolate Custard. A tall rectangle of chilled custard is topped with a thin layer of molten dark chocolate. It's then topped with caramel sauce and chunks of amaretti and hazelnut brittle. It's surprisingly light even though it's rich. I love the contrast between the smooth custard and the crunchy toppings. A great end to a great meal. The tab was $180 for 2, including 2 glasses of wine. Brodeto is HIGHLY recommended... I can't wait to got back and try some of the other choices on the menu! GO!!!

No need for a lengthy review for this place. Service = impeccable Food = mouthwatering Atmosphere = a vibe!!! We'll def be back! Food: Little gem hearts, focaccia, gnocchi, peka, and broccolini. It was the perfect amount for two people. Drinks: la mora, mezcal marg and the only tequila based drink on the menu (I can't remember the name).

This place is legit! Not, it's good, "for Raleigh." It's good period. On par with restaurants in any major foodie city. Our server, Amber, was a delight. Patient and accomodating. Appreciate that you are not rushed, aka turning tables. This is a culinary experience. We tried soooo many dishes and the only one we didn't care for was the tortellini. Stand outs were the oysters, little gem salad, branzino and the house made breads. This is not a cheap night out, but a wonderful memorable meal.

on our second visit we requested the table near the kitchen. we got there and they told us a table that had paid and was just hanging out and essentially refused to ask them to leave which was wack we finally sat down and it was the first day of their fall menu and it was so lackluster compared to the first time we visited. a lot was comped but it was disappointing after our first visit where we really liked it whipped ricotta slapped both times tho

Just think that it is cheap and grimy to add a 3% credit card fee to my check at the end of meal. Especially when that was not made clear at all. Completely unprofessional as a business, and honestly silly. Pay your own network bills with the money I have already spent at the table, don't nickel and dime at end. This will be the last time I dine at a Crawford establishment. What a joke!!

As always, this was a 5 star experience. We ordered a metric ton of food between the five people and we were amazed at the food quality, plate presentation and layering of flavors. We had the Whole Roasted Branzino, Pork Chops, Rockfish, Black Risotto, Tuna Crudo, Olive Oil Cake and a Chocolate dessert to die for. Ordered two loaves of Focaccia Bread, OMG. The Restaurant design, atmosphere and ambiance is incredible. Thought I forgot the service? NOT!! The entire Staff, no matter what the department, was attentive and anticipated our every need! Quickly becoming a go to Restaurant. Love Love Love Alexia.

Amazing!! We were in town for an event and so happy we came here! The restaurant is gorgeous- beautiful ambiance! The service was excellent and the food was spectacular! The branzino was top notch! We talked about this place our whole trip!

Big wins were the service (our server was delightful), the monkfish (which came in the brodeto), and the ambience. Otherwise, our pallets couldn't handle the intense overpowering flavors -- mostly salt and onion. The sea bass (first photo) would have been lovely but all we could taste was onion. Everything else was so incredibly salty that we were downing water and wine to rinse it down. Scott Crawford is incredible and we love both Jolie and Crawford and Son. But our little trip to the Adriatic Sea was not ideal.

I loved the ambiance of the restaurant and the service was consistent and friendly. The food we had was great i love things you can share. This place is a smidge pricey but i think worth it for a nice evening out for dinner. The service was great we were checked on often but not enough to be bothersome. My date shared sentiments of the octopus paired with red sauce and sausage was a bit odd and reminded him of pizza. The sauce wasn't bad just didn't go with the octopus. Their focaccia was amazing!

I am a huge fan of Scott Crawford and his restaurants; however, our experience at Brodeto was just okay. We had a few rounds of drinks, it was a beer (the Oaklyn Springs IPA tall can which was overpriced at $12), a pour of rose and a pour of one of the ports for me and the euro step, old world and an espresso for my husband. For food we split the House Made Straciatella, Rigatoni, Charred Potatoes, Wood Roasted Pork Chop and Italian Dark Chocolate Custard. The rigatoni was our favorite but we did not enjoy the cartilage and bone pieces from the rabbit. The pork chop was the one that we did not care for at all. It's a beautiful spot but can be very expensive depending on what you order.

Soooo good! The service was great, attentive, helpful and friendly. A little on the noisy side. But the food! Razor clams...I wanted to lick the shell! The mussels, again, wanted to lick the shell. The octopus and pork belly...I thought the octopus was a little over cooked and the pork belly was fattier than I expected. Amberjack was a delight, fresh and flavorful. The spaghetti al Nero, so tasty. Finished off a fabulous meal the Italian dark chocolate custard.

Brodeto is another win for Crawford. The moment you walk through the door you are immersed in the experience. The wait staff is phenomenal and attentive. They have great recommendations, if you are at a loss of what to eat ask for advice. My best advice is to try a little bit of everything. Each dish has been created with love right down to the presentation. The focaccia is a great place to start with the perfect blend of olive oil and salt. The homemade ricotta has an evolution of flavor starting with the truffle and ending with the peach and hazelnut. The Tuna and amberjack crudo is great for raw fish lovers (Wish I tried the others). The wood-roasted pork chop may have been one of the best pork chops that I have had in the Triangle area I would highly recommend it. The grilled cobia is a very light dish where the cobia is the main star of the show. Food:5 Service: 5 Ambiance: 5

Very good but not amazing. Still worth all the stars though as the good things we tried were really good, it's a beautiful space and our server Jacob (sp?) was fantastic. The space is gorgeous though the huge wood door to enter the place is sort of ominous. Oh well. Lots of lovely people dressed up which made it feel like an occasion. Should also add that for some reason it took almost 40 minutes for us to get our pastas, which was pretty irritating but oh well. Hopefully that's just a one-off (and it won't detract us from returning) As to the food: 1. Focaccia -- good but not amazing. Well salted and moist, about on par with Weaver St. Not worth 10 bucks; 2. Sea bass crudo -- really really good. Fish was left in pretty large pieces and tasted super fresh. The pepper jelly had a nice spice level though it dissipated a few seconds after it appeared. Cool touch and a great dish; 3. Octopus and pork belly salad -- amazing octopus: great char on it and not one bit chewy. Pork belly was cured tasting (or maybe just really salty) and didn't add much for me but the potatoes were great in the salad. Our favorite; 3. Black spaghetti with sea urchin butter -- my wife loved it, said it reminded her of the uni and crab pasta she used to get at Marea which is very high praise; 4. Busiate with crab -- bland and served barely room temperature. Only real miss of the night. On a side note I don't know what I expected from a dish that was literally noodles and shredded crab; 5. Hazelnut gelato -- really good and a big portion, though I would probably rather have a smaller portion for less than 10 bucks And 6. Chocolate custard -- too sweet for me, almost cloying. The only other dish I didn't like other than the busiate. Did like the brittle on top Overall yeah it's pricy and probably overpriced but I loved it and will happily return, so maybe it's not? Can't wait to try more crudo and one of the casseroles as they smelled and looked delicious!

ambience was blah. -like a cheap restaurant group faking it. cold room. nothing to absorb the sound. annoying club beat music. -really hard to carry on a conversation w/o yelling. brodeto salty...shrimp overcooked (mushy). Ravioli ...just buy at trader joes. fatback squid dish full of potatoes and overcooked squid. deserts are a joke..just have at home. -everything overpriced will just go to 42nd St oyster bar next time for great seafood w/o the pretense. great place for young techies with $$$ to blow just because.

Another new restaurant we were so excited to try, opened by Scott Crawford whose other restaurants we love (& James Beard finalist for outstanding hospitality)! Absolutely every person working there was so lovely, from the hostesses, to our waiter, to the chefs. The service was great - our server walked us through the menu and the timing between starter and entree was perfect. She also shared in our excitement about the food, which I always appreciate so much. I was also obsessed with the ambiance here - between the tall wooden doors (at the entrance and in the bathrooms), to the plants lining the counter between dining tables, to the light up marble bar, to all the natural lighting that flooded in through the large windows, I was in awe. The food was phenomenal, really showcasing the flavors of the Adriatic sea. We started with the little gem hearts and focaccia. The little gem hearts salad was perfect for sharing and a wonderful take on a caesar - flavorful caesar dressing paired well with the crunchy breadcrumbs, crunchy lettuce, and sharp pecorino. The focaccia was UNREAL! It was crunchy on top, perfectly soaked with olive oil, and seasoned to perfection with rosemary and sea salt. It was hard to stop from eating it all as it came out as we knew it would be perfect for sopping up the broths from our stews. The brodeto, representing southern Italy, had the most flavorful umami broth and the seafood was cooked very well for the most part. My only gripe was that the octopus was a little chewy. The peka, representing Croatia, had a deep, meaty broth which was very warm and comforting and the lamb was cooked to perfection. We couldn't decipher any pork in this dish, so we were a little confused about that. The focaccia was PERFECT for sopping up these delicious broths. We will definitely be back to try their pastas and everything else we missed on their delicious menu!

Another amazing spot from Scott Crawford. You're welcomed by a bright open restaurant when you walk the iconic doors. We opted for a bar spot to hang with one of the best in the industry, Jordan. I love the variety on this menu, perfect for sharing, the hard part is narrowing down your choices. We opted to start with the amberjack crudo, while simple, tastes amazing. Very light and fresh. The pasta had a great richness in the sauce, great for dipping the focaccia in. Lastly, perfectly prepared octopus, with a beautiful char, surrounded by so much flavor. Definitely was my favorite dish of the night. Cannot wait to go back.

Delicious meal, excellent service, beautiful ambiance at Brodeto - highly recommend for a celebration, special night out or just an impromptu treat! Pricey, but a high level experience.

Simple Amazing! I knew this place was going to have great service when within 5 minutes of sitting down my Grand Daughter dropped a fork and with in seconds a server came from nowhere and took the one that dropped and replaced it, Great Job! Started the night with a drink, ordered a La Presca, very good, then I had an Arette Anejo Tequila neat (they have a pretty good tequila selection). The decor is well done, it's like an Italian Coastal Beach setting. On to the food. There were 4 of us so we decided to order several plates to share. We got the House Made Ricotta (you need to get so good) Tomato Salad (very good) and the Little Gem Hearts all for an appetizer. Entrees, Ravioli, Gnocchi, and Brodeto! All were On Point Good!!! I would get everything again! Important note, get a couple of the Croatian Breads to soak up the wonderful sauces!!! Ok, Nikko our server was Amazing, very knowledgeable and had a great personality! Thanks Nikko! Cheers!

Had dinner at Brodeto on a busy Saturday night with my wife. The place was packed, as expected with most Crawford restaurants, and while the atmosphere was lively, this new restaurant got loud fast--hard to hear each other by the main course. This is the trade off for most Crawford restaurants in my experience, but typically the food makes up for it. The food was solid overall. The amberjack was a highlight, perfectly cooked and flavorful. The house-made ricotta with truffle honey was another standout, rich and well-balanced. Unfortunately, the rockfish didn't impress, lacking the punch of the other dishes. Service was good, attentive without being overbearing. Parking isn't terrible given a large deck nearby, but plan to arrive early given this new area is small and busy. Brodeto is definitely worth checking out, but it'll be interesting to see if this brand will be vibe vs food as the expansion continues.

I have one regret for this meal, wish I had been hungrier!! Only had room for one app, and I chose wisely with the Homemade Ricotta!! The bread that accompanied the dish was the best bread I've ever had!! Ryan took great care of me at the bar, very attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. I'll definitely be back - I've got my eye on the gnocchi dish next.

Food was good and good selection of drinks. Nice ambience. Great place to meet friends for drinks. They do have a very small kitchen area. Therefore, they brought our party of 12's food out in groups of four meals. It worked out fine. As long as you know it.

Our overall experience at Brodeto was fantastic! The seating and ambiance of the restaurant was beautiful and fitting for a fine dining meal. Our drinks were each tasty and looked delicious. The menu was full of amazing options that our party of 4 all wanted to try. The waitress helped re-arrange the meals into "courses" with input from the chef, which helped elevate the overall experience! The food came out in a steady stream, so it felt like we were eating and enjoying the meals the entire time. Each bite was special, from the oysters, the crudo, the octopus and pork belly salad, to the brodeto, pastas, and pork chop. We left the restaurant full and very satisfied! While the meal itself was on the pricier side, I believe it would be near impossible to find such an experience with high quality food for a lower price. It was a fitting final meal for our last night in Raleigh. 10/10 would recommen

I think it is wonderful that new exciting places to eat are opening up in the Iron Works in Raleigh. They have a really cool front door. I made a reservation here and we did not we had all to get to our table. The inside decor is very earthy modern. They have a wonderful selection of wine and they are very educated and what wine pairs with what so give that a try. The food is on the expensive side and I don't give you an American size portion of it it is more in moderation so just keep that in mind if you're ordering something that you might leave a little hungry.

I was super excited about trying out Brodeto, I made a reservation for one for their opening night. I was seated at the bar which I requested. Upon entering, I was taken aback by just how stunning the restaurant is, I felt transported to another location. It's airy and light and relaxing. The design is beautiful. Service was wonderful, everyone was very attentive and helpful in providing recommendations especially the bartender, Joseph. I had a delicious cocktail and I was mesmerized just watching them make drinks all night. They put so much love into everything and every single detail was tender. I started my meal with the amberjack crudo and this was the best crudo i have ever had. The fish was perfect, flavorful, filling, and just an overall great bite. I also enjoyed the House Made Straciatella with bread and it was good as well. It was a lot of cheese for me but a great dish to share with friends and enjoy. The house made gelato was the perfect ending to the meal, it was beautifully flavored and night overly sweet. I loved the pistachios and the oil in it. I can't wait to go back and try more dishes.

Beautiful ambience. The bread was fabulous. The razor clams were good but 2 clams at @ $20 didn't meet the expectations. The appetizer, pork belly and octopus was delicious. I would have liked a little more for the price. The pasta was delicious too but I do prefer hot as opposed to lukewarm. The $50 dollar lamb chops may have been good but they needed to be hotter and you were just hoping they didn't sit too long under a lamp. While the food is good, I just didn't feel the value for the price! Also, a patron should be able to use a preferred credit card or payment without being penalized a 3% surcharge.

Absolutely delicious meal! We started with bread: Croatian & Focaccia, the little gem hearts salad, and the mussels. The bread was fantastic, the salad was described as the best take on a Cesar salad our table has ever had, and the mussels! The mussels were prepared delicately and wonderfully. Pictured below are 2 pasta dishes: Agnolotti & Busiate. Absolutely delicious meal, fantastic service! A great meal and would definitely recommend.

It's a cool spot but the food was just alright. Crawford has dishes that make you say yum after every single bite. I was hoping this spot had the same magic but the gnocchi tasted exactly like chef boyardee beefaroni. The rabbit ravioli was good but wasn't exceptional which I do expect from Crawford. The bread was 8 dollars and tasted like a burnt log. The service was good and the food was alright too but it wasn't on par with Crawford and sons and wasn't worth the price in my opinion. The menu is pretty small too. I honestly didn't see anything I really wanted.

Youre in for a treat, I predict this will be the best new restaurant of 2024. Scott and the team will take you to istria by way of italy and ultimatley arriving in Coatia. Enjoy your journey.

Great food and ambiance. Service was impeccable. I will definitely return especially for that steak and to try other dishes

Overall, positive experience. Great ambience and exceptional service. The food was very good as well. Only downsides were the pasta portions were tiny, and the spaghetti was incredibly salty. Overall, a good experience though.

Incredible! One of the best dining experiences I've had in Raleigh! Amazing food, ambience, service. Worth the hype!

The atmosphere 10 out of 10, service (Nikko) 10 out of 10, the food 12 out of 10!! We'll be back to try the things we missed out on but octopus carpaccio & ricotta were on point, must haves for every visit!! If I had one ask, variety on wine in $50-60 range but overall bill as expected & not out of range. Thank you staff, what an amazing meal, can't wait to see you again!

Well I've been wanting to go bc I've heard good things, but I'm walking out in the B/B+ zone, mostly due to menu issues I see as fixable. Overall, excellent ambiance and very inspiring, creative Mediterranean-heavy menu, which I generally love. Ambiance: Great. Professionalism: Great. Service: Great. Food: a little help needed. The Crudos were excellent...light, refreshing, delicious. Little Gem Caesar had excellent quality ingredients but was way over sauced...borderline soupy; dial it back and it would be good. Black Risotto: over the top too salty...had my hopes high on that one and whiff. The namesake Brodeto entree: great quality seafood, tender, light, but also too salty. Tried several other items too but not much to highlight here other than I think across the board things were overly salty. Again, had great service, so props there, but for a ('finer') dining experience the food needs to be tightened up. Still looking forward to seeing other new Crawford projects grow, but this one is overly priced for an "ok" menu execution on what should be ingredients that speak for themselves (overworked).
