I got the Spaghetti Al Limone with shrimp and it was so tasty. It had an amazing balance of citrus that didn't overpower the rest of the plate. We also sat outside and it was lovely. There were ceiling fans to help keep us cool. It was great to see lots of families there too. You know the restaurant really takes pride in being family friendly. So, if you're looking for a place to treat yourself and curb your pasta cravings, go check them

Broder's is located in the Fulton neighborhood. They have their own parking lot although it does…read morefill up. Otherwise, there is street parking nearby, especially as you get into the residential areas. They are a walk-in only restaurant, and if you're going during dinner hours, there is usually a wait. You can a text when it is your turn to be seated, and you are able to wander the neighborhood during the wait. It is close to Lake Harriet, so if you're looking for a way to kill time, you can walk towards the lake and sit on one of the benches! Once you're at Broder's, you're in for a treat! It is a sit-down restaurant that feels on the nicer end of casual. It'd be a good date night spot, but also is good for gathering with friends and family. They have plenty of good options, including some dairy-free, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free items on their menu which is clearly labeled. The service is always friendly, and they're always attentive, even when it gets busy! They start you off with some free breads, and there is olive oil at the table which you can use with the bread. They have a good selection of wines, and some beer and non alcoholic beverages. If you like a sweet wine that tastes mostly like juice, I highly recommend their moscato d'asti! As for their food, they have so many good pastas, you can't really go wrong. They are able to accommodate some modifications! I think in the past, I've subbed for another pasta shape. I recently also ordered the Tagliarini di Locanda di Lupo without Proscuitto to be vegetarian-friendly! It was very cheesy and creamy, and truffle-forward, as expected! I had their Spaghetti Al Limone, which was nice and buttery and still felt light and fresh with the basil and lemon. I've been to Broder's several times throughout the years, and I enjoy it every time! I would recommend stopping!

But it still provides the best homemade italian food in the area. A local staple for decades, they make everything fresh in house, from Italian fries, to dunkers, pasta and more. There is always something to please everyone, and at very affordable prices. The staff is also amazing, super attentive and if you are a regular, they make sure to learn your name and make you feel like part of the family. I love the addition of their grab and go area, so that you can take some of the pastas and pizza's home with you for days you can't get there. But either way, it is a true gem of a spot, and you should not miss out!

What an awesome and kitschy place for some delicious Italian food. Why am I just finding out about…read morethis place! It's been a staple in the area since 1976. Sooo impressed with their 1 full page of gluten free options. I chose the gfree tortellini carbonara on the waitress's suggestion and it did not disappoint. I also ordered a side salad. It was creamy and oh so good and came with the most fantastic and soft 2 gfree dinner rolls. Yummm. Positives - no wait on a Friday night, lots of kitschy pink panthers to check out, gelato bar, the frozen/refrigerated section. Cannot wait to go back!

I came to Boss Pizza with one thing and one thing only in my mind - the Super Boss Pizza. Funny thing occurred - when I ordered it the server checked in with me. Verifying my sanity. I was told that grown men - buffalo wing loving gents - had been humbled by the super boss sauce (which is the base for the pizza in lieu of red sauce). So what did I do? I doubled down and got the pizza and the super boss wings to boot. Here's what I can tell you. I can't feel my face as I write this and I may have consumed a gallon of ranch. That stuff is HOT! I feel like you should sign a waiver before consuming. Would I do it again? 100% without a doubt. I loved every burning second! If you like heat - swing by this spot.

I really really really wanted to love this place. It's the old Green Mill next to 55 serving pizza,…read moresandwiches and broasted chicken. They haven't done much to update the decor, so if you lived green mill, then you'll love boss decor. When you enter the bar is on the left and dining room booths to the right. The menu is large with a focus on pizza options, but burgers, other hoagie type sandwiches and lots of other choices are offered. I'm really hoping they were having trouble getting help to come in due to weather, or are still working through "new business" issues. We arrived around 5:45 to meet friends for dinner and were greeted by a friendly smile. It took 15-20 minutes to get our initial beverages, and one of the cocktails never arrived at the table. We ordered a 2 piece and 4 piece chicken dinner, a ranch Chicken sandwich and one of the burger options, and then we waited. Almost an hour later the chicken dinners and ranch chicken sandwich came out. The burger customer told us to eat while our food was hot. Almost 25 minutes later, his food still hadn't arrived and we were finished eating. The waitress appeared to be very new and was clearly struggling to get anything out of the kitchen. We paid for everything we got to the table, tipped the waitress for her efforts and left. They have a weird thing where no bill is brought to your table, you go to the front desk to settle your bill. Based on the long waits, staff friustration, and business processes, it is likely we won't be going back anytime soon. Damn, I really wanted this to go well!

Red Rabbit just doesn't miss! Me and my girl friends went for their $20 "girl dinner" and were so…read moreglad we checked it out! The girl dinner - on Sundays-Thursdays only after 8pm - consisted of a mini Caesar salad, vodka pasta, rosemary fries, and a Hugo spritz. Delish! The portions were about what you'd expect for a deal like this so you know we had to top it off with some dessert. The sticky toffee cake and tiramisu were group favorites! As always, the food is fantastic and the service was good. Parking is about what you'd expect in downtown Minneapolis (paid street or paid lots) but they do have a small parking lot in the back and if you're lucky you may get a spot.

The dining area did seem to be a little bit smaller than what you would expect but it was really not a problem. My daughter liked that they put white paper down so customers can draw on it. Crayons were provided and already on the table. The pizza was good, I am picky when it comes to red sauces and the sauce they used is not one that I really care for but I ate it anyway and it was actually pretty good with the way they made their pizzas. I do however prefer a firmer crust which would have made the pizza perfect but it was close. I would eat here again when in town and I do recommend that people check it out and give it a try.

Too expensive for me. Sorry! :(…read more I've driven past this place countless times headed downtown and always wanted to give it a try because I love Italian food! Finally the perfect day to snag some arrived. Got our meals to-go, which in a way was like "thank goodness" because at least I didn't have to then also leave a tip for the wait staff... Doing so would've made this $50+ instead of $40+. Ouch! DX The bottled beverages are $4 a pop, canned for $3. Gosh dang, fam, you could've at least made those affordable to even things out instead of finding another way to gouge... Placed my order at the counter and sat in the lobby on the hard chairs to wait for it to be prepared. It took A WHILE. Which maybe makes sense for stuff like lasagna and pizza. Idk. I was there pretty late at night (nearly 8pm) on a Monday night, so maybe that was part of the problem too? It got later and later into the evening and I got hangier the longer I sat, I'll admit. Oops. At least when the order was ready, it was piping hot, so even on the 15-minute drive home it stayed plenty warm when we opened it up to consume. Sadly though, the garlic bread was halfway to soggy because it steamed inside the tin foil... Thankfully our air fryer was able to restore it to crunchy glory. The food was all pretty tasty at least, and in a reasonable quantity, so even though it was pricey, I did get three meals out of my $21 pasta dish (I'm on the small side though, so your "mileage" may vary). If I was made of money, I'd be happy to return to try the dine-in experience. It looked like the inside and outside had been painted with fun colors, which I always find to be a plus (I like knowing some artist out there got to contribute their craft to making a place unique). Or maybe some time I'll just drop in to try the gelato (or have the in-laws treat us when they visit, pfft). The parking situation is... well, a situation. It's not good. They have a small lot out back that isn't well delineated as to where you should or can park... and escaping from that lot is also a burden. I think most people just parallel park on the opposite side of the street? Or maybe walk from Lake Nokomis? Or maybe it's all local folk who walk from home. I get it, not every place can accommodate a lot of vehicles though.
