Just across the street from Globe Market is brodo (Italian for broth based soup), the inspiration of Buffalo restaurateur Don Warfe and managing partner, Elaine Greco. The duo previously worked together at Just Pasta and are also currently involved in The Garden Restaurant at Albright Knox.
brodois stylie interior is rich with vivid colors and lighting from Lightmakers on Elmwood Avenue. The patio is open and the foodOe Oh man, the food. The menu is divided into appetizers, salads, pannini, focaccia/combos, entrees, and desserts. Things you really ought to try: the brilliant soups (but maybe after the heat breaks); the panko crab cake; warm breaded goat cheese over arugla, field greens, tomato and aged balsamic vinegar; avocado and tomato-basil corn sala cruda; assorted roasted marinated vegetables, feta, tapenade on pita. You get the idea. The food is the type of very well executed and interesting fare weive come to expect from Warfe and Greco.
For beer lovers, thereis a list thick with hard-to-find brews and the select wine list is just as impressive.
Open from 11am to 11pm Monday through Sunday. Reservations are not accepted, but if you have any questions call 881-1117. Or just stop by 765 Elmwood.
