What of the best Italian restaurant I've had so good a must try

chr val

The place is in a nice location. The waitress was super nice and welcoming. We ordered pasta carbonara, Risotto with steak and shrimp, and pasta bolognese. The two kinds of pasta were delicious and aldente. The Risotto flavor was delicious but was too watery I wanted more creamy. The desert wasn't good, La bestia Negra and the Tiramisu. I am definitely coming back to try something else. One of the best pastas in Minnesota.

My son brought home your Tuscan risotto, it was totally amazing. I’ve never had risotto that robust and full of authentic flavors. Thank you for the amazing tour through Tuscany in one dish.

Broders is always an excellent experience and their food is phenomenal and fairly priced. Their outdoor patio is so well done.

The parking lot is a nightmare. I was able to be seated rather fast which was nice. My waiter was friendly and worked very hard. I ordered the fettuccine alfredo. The menu says they add lemon to the sauce and they weren't kidding. The lemon over powered the sauce all together. I found it very off putting. I don't think I very much care for egg noodles either. Mine were super chewy. I don't know if they are supposed to be that way or if they just weren't cooked long enough. Honestly, not really dying to try and visit this place again.

Out of this world pasta! I could go there every week to try all the variations. Its decibel level was very reasonable for a packed restaurant. The four of us could hear each other without yelling.

Parking: They don’t take reservations so it was an hour 15 minutes wait early on a Saturday evening.

Kid-friendliness: Accommodated our toddler well, nothing special.

Great restaurant, delicious pasta, cozy atmosphere, except we haven't been there in years. They don't take reservations (last I checked) and with a 10 year old, we can't sit and wait for 60-90 minutes for a table. Wish they took reservations. Their deli across the street has maybe the best NY Style Pizza in MN. Finally, to the women below who wrote a glowing review and only gave 4 stars--that's unfair. Your review warrants 5 stars.

The waiter was amazing. Very informative and I love when I was struggling with pronouncing the item that I want he was kind enough to help me. He answer all my questions and gave some the best recommendations.
The food alone was some of the best pasta I've ever had. Next time, I'm not going to ask for extra parmesan. The dish was perfect.

Vegetarian options: I say clearly, they had ‘V’ or ‘V+’ next to options they could make vegetarian. There were also mushrooms next to meals, I thought these were vegetarian meals, they were just suggested for a mushroom powder that was available. I wish the V’s had been as obvious as the mushrooms.

Parking: Carpool there, don’t meet folks there. Plus, you can have one driver, and can talk for longer with your dinner party!

Wheelchair accessibility: Maybe? They have takeaway I think I’d suggest instead.

I love this place! The food is so good here. I usually get the spaghetti and meatballs and they are a 10. I know I need to try other dishes, which I will, but we are talking about this time. I also got a piece of pumpkin cheesecake which was awesome. It had a lot of spice which was a surprise at first. It is an experience of rich spice flavor and was very good. I had to eat it in the bathroom at home. Sometimes you don't need to share food this good. I also got the rosemary almonds which are only $ 5.00 and are better than any nuts anywhere. It's my Sunday go to after work. I will try something new and post later. Love this Italian food place!

Parking: They have an assigned space for pickup. I go on a Saturday night when it's getting busy. Never a problem.

New to the Twin Cities and this was our first time here knowing we must come back. Salad, three pasta dishes, and choux pastry dessert with an espresso were all phenomenal. We want to retire to Italy, so until then authentic, lovingly made Italian cuisine is less than 2 miles from us! Oh, and the service was excellent.
