We visited Broders after it was heartily recommended by one of my colleagues, and we were NOT disappointed. We tried the Pasta Bar first, which was very good! However, with two small children we find the informal atmosphere of Broder's Cucina Italiana fits a lot better with us. My 2 year old son just gobbles up the spaghetti and meatballs - the pasta itself is home-made and amazing, but the meatballs are ok. The dinner portion is just the perfect for the two of us to share. The pizza is really good - they serve a New York style that has a great crispy crust. The multitudes of people who come in and out for a "to-go" pizza speaks for how tasty it is! The tiramisu is also incredible. My husband really likes the cannoli too. However, the Cucina Italiana has limited seating, so as a family you might be stuck at the "bar"-like seating space. We have always been able to find somewhere to sit, though. If you choose to get take-out, the family style dinners for 4 are an incredible deal! I highly recommend this fun little joint!

Pros: Good food and relatively inexpensive

Cons: "Cozy" eat-in area (small), limited parking
