Broders' Cucina Italiana

Back in 1981, Molly and Tom Broder took an inspirational trip to the culinary capital of Bologna, Italy, and they returned to the States with a goal of bringing authentic Italian food and fresh-made pasta to Minneapolis. The following year, they opened Broders’ Cucina Italiana, and since then (along with additional restaurants, including a nearby “pasta bar”) it’s become a cornerstone of the community, and one of the very best Italian restaurants and markets in America.

Molly continues to run Broders’ to this day along with sons Tom, Charlie, and Danny. They import specialty ingredients from all regions of Italy and prepare a wide variety of fresh foods, from antipasto to dolce. From fresh pasta and sauces to baked goods, imported and domestic groceries, deli meats, cheeses, pizza, Stromboli, sandwiches, and lasagna, this is the best of Italy, from a Minneapolis institution, shipping nationwide!
