Across the street from our original deli, Broders’ Cucina Italiana, Broders’ Pasta Bar has taken the art of fresh pasta one step further. While the cucina sells pasta to customers who want to cook at home, the pasta bar was designed to delight our customers with pasta cooked the way it is meant to be.

Each of the 21 or so pasta and risotto on the menu are cooked to order and served steaming hot to our customers. Those seated at the bar get the best view of our pasta chefs doing the cooking, which is always ‘al dente’ and tossed traditionally.

This is not a pasta restaurant that ladles on white or red sauce nor is it a chain. Each dish gets an individual sauté of ingredients with fresh garlic and herbs added at the right moment. Great care is taken in the daily production of fine egg pasta (which is also sold to cook at home in our deli across the street) done in the highest quality method, not with the typical high-speed extruders used by the majority of restaurants.

The result is a steaming bowl of perfectly cooked pasta done in the traditional Italian style.

Rounding out this delicious formula are antipasti, salads, dessert and an Italian wine list. Our menu constantly changes and there are daily specials. Many of our customers love to order our pasta for takeout. One caution though – the best takeout dishes use semolina-based artisan pasta imported from Italy (penne, fusilli, etc) rather than our homemade egg noodles which should be eaten as close to cooking time as possible.

Though the emphasis is on quality food, you will enjoy the charming atmosphere and neighborhood feel of the restaurant and, in summer months, the wine and appetizer bar on our patio. Take a look at our menu and reservation policy and give us a call. We look forward to welcoming you for dinner.
