Attentive service and good food. I ordered a take out and arrived early to enjoy the gelato. It's so good with daily new flavors. The pasta is always just right. The restaurant was bright and cool with a nice play area for kids.

My hubby and I tried Noodies over at 1730 E. Speedway. He got the vodka pasta with chicken and I got the collab dish between #cookingwithcort and Noodies of Mac & Cheese w collard greens with smoked turkey it was pretty good ..FLAVOR!!!. A different take on Mac . I was full for the whole day it was around $30. The collab thing is pretty cool I plan to check out some other's around town. ‍ the service was great and the ambiance was nice.

Let me start by saying that the food and the service are amazing here. Vodka rigatoni was superb, with a hint of spiciness. Linguine bolognese was fantastic. Gelato is amazing as well. However, the place is not clean. Only one table in the whole restaurant was clean. The floors look like they haven't been cleaned in ages and it was extremely cold in the restaurant (according to the thermostat it was 69 degrees) We ended up sitting outside at yet another dirty table, but the weather was great so it made it a better experience.

Hands down one of my favorite spots in Tucson! I love the food so much, the vodka sauce is my favorite! It's a casual spot with indoor and outdoor seating. Noodies is always top on my recommendation list for good, quality Tucson bites!

Gelato flavors

I have been eyeing this place since moving here 10 months ago and can't believe it took me this long to give it a try! My daughter wanted pasta so naturally this is the first place that came to mind. Fresh, handmade pasta in Tucson! I had the vodka sauce with fusilli. Pasta was perfectly cooked. The sauce was flavorful with a little kick. I wish I had added Italian sausage after seeing it on someone else's plate! We also tried the Cacio e Pepe with fettuccini. My daughter loved it. I snuck a bite and really liked it, too. To top it all off, of course we had to try their rotating gelato flavors. We were lucky to have 2 flavors that were hard to choose between (later realized we could have mixed them - great idea). The flavors were cheesecake and cookie butter. We went with cookie butter and they really nailed the flavor. I also wish we had added some toppings but I wanted to try it as is for my first visit. So tasty. Excited to come back for different flavors! Lastly, the vibe and ambiance was great. Not too busy, cool decor, it's got that Italian feel. LOVED that they have a small kids area with books and a few toys. It's small, but a little goes a long way with little ones. Always appreciated as a mom! Overall, a great experience and I can't wait to go back and try more.

Quick fresh pasta!

Okay this is on the level of Jon & Vinny's-if you're from LA! Delicious home made noodles and perfectly made sauce! The vodka sauce was so good, but a bit too spicy for me-still delicious - but glad to have a bite of mozzarella afterwards. I personally did bucatini noodles with Cacio e Pepe! So good. Was so tempted to get a sandwich but was told I gotta get the pasta! (I will be back for the sandwich!) Yes- worth coming here and the seating is no frills casual and w/kids play area. You order first and they bring to you. So that's a bit more casual than the service of J&V's. It's up there with the other Pasta place I rated near downtown off Congress. Dee-lish!

Pasta made the way YOU like it ! The owners of Ceres have yet another great food experience for us . Noodies was able to customize everything I ordered to be vegan . They have several options . The tomato basil sauce is delicious ! I love that their portions aren't outta control and you wont leave feeling stuffed and bloated. They make fresh pasta in house and you can taste the passion in every bite . Plenty of gelato and dessert to choose from. ( no vegan desserts )This is a low key casual type of dining . Don't forget to grab some cute swag in the way out .

After the Tucson Street Fair. Always great and today no different. I know this is near campus, but today it was really flooded with co-eds. Maybe they decided they wanted good pasta without cooking.

Vegan special for September. Was much better once the missing sage was added. Still missing toasted almonds.
Evie S.

Cute place with fun changing gelatos and sorbets and housemade pasta. My experience dining here was disappointing though. I came in especially for a special they advertised for the month of September, a day before the last day they said it would be available. I ordered and paid but when I got it it looked different and seemed boring comparing to what I expected. So I looked online and realized that two ingredients that made this special dish exciting for me were missing (fried fresh sage leaves and toasted almonds). When I inquired about the missing sage and almonds I was told they were out of them and didn't want to acquire more since the special is close to ending. This was strange to me as they still were selling it without mentioning this so I can decide if I still want it. They did put a sign after I already ordered saying out of almonds. I was surprised to not be notified that they were missing ingredients for what I ordered and don't feel that it's a fair way to treat customers. They did end up finding that they had sage and added that for me. The person at the front didn't seem like they understood why I would want to receive what I ordered as described but they did refund me when I requested which I appreciated. The dish was fairly boring without the crispy fried sage but once the sage was added it was much more interesting. I can see how the almonds would have added some interesting texture too. Food was decent but I was not impressed by the business practice of not letting customers know they will not receive what they ordered and paid for. On a more positive note, I have had their sorbet soft serves a bunch of times and enjoyed them. My general rating system: 1 star: I would stay away 2 stars: Has some good things about it but I generally don't recommend. 3 stars: Pretty good. I wouldn't go out of my way to go back but a decent place 4 stars: Great place. I would go back. 5 stars: I highly recommend stopping whatever you are doing and making plans to try it out! An Evie favorite!

Meatball Sub
Maricella T.

We've been here for ice cream before and now decided to try their pasta and food menu. It did not disappoint! The pasta I had was a true delicious comfort meal and my husband's meatball sub was huge and equally delicious. The service was as friendly as before and you can't beat the fun environment. Just beware of the tight parking.

Busy weekend for Noodie and I've ordered a Bolognese pasta with meatballs!! Tasty delicious and have a bottle of coke!! Perfect match!! Should also have a Gelto but next time!! The restaurant sitting down dining room are width and clean!! Customers need to order first and sit down waiting for their ordering if the weekend is busy!! Overall it's a perfect pasta meal!!

Noodies was a great find. The pasta tasted fresh and really well made. The caprese sandwich was also excellent...the focaccia was soft, and perfect for it. And the chocolate and mascarpone gelato was the perfect way to finish the meal. Definitely a spot worth checking out for a quick bite or takeout.

Rigatoni with Bolognese sauce, comes with focaccia bread.  The. I added Meatballs and Italian Sausage.
Walter H.

Wasn't sure what to expect, but heard this was a great place to go for fresh pasta. Noodies didn't disappoint! The restaurant is relatively small, but had enough seating space to handle the volume of customers on a Saturday evening. The staff was friendly and while it looks a little older of a place, it was clean. They pasta was really good! We tried 2 types of sauce and were also happy with that. I added Italian sausage and meatballs, forgetting that I got the bolognese meat sauce to start with, so I over ordered! lol. The meatballs appeared really dry, but they were really very tasty! They also have soft serve gelato- but the flavors are very limited and we didn't feel like what they had that night; got a cookie instead. They also have subs and some other items. They also have wine and sodas by the can. Definitely glad we tried them out. Would repeat again, so check them out!

The food was good. Nice child area. Times are tough, and tips are minimal; however, could this constitute messing up my order twice.

We so rarely encounter attitude in Tucson, that our experience at your coffee shop on Saturday…read morereally took us aback. All 4 of us have extensive experience in the hospitality industry and appreciate the stresses. Since we are unfailingly friendly customers, as so many servers are, & because there were only 6 other customers at your coffee shop at the time, sharing our experience is warranted. We visited the Main Gate shop just after noon on Saturday, 4/18. The barista was wearing a cap & O'Neill-branded t-shirt; he has a salt & pepper beard. Requesting my cappuccino in a ceramic cup, he stated, with obvious exasperation, "You can just say 'for here'." He was also visibly irritated when we requested 3 Dirty Chais of various sizes & shot strength, as if this request was overly complicated. We would have ordered food, but he was so unwelcoming we did not. Nor did we linger. We have visited this location other times and have only been treated warmly. Clearly this barista does not represent the customer service your employees normally provide. You can train people to make a good coffee. Training them to be pleasant is more complicated & best documented. Hence, this review. An unpleasant experience like this has no place in Tucson. It's not who we are & it's not who you are either, I know. We hope this gentleman finds another line of work soon

(Campbell Location)…read more I love their cappuccinos with chocolate, particularly if I can have it with a bargain yesterday's bear claw. Afterwards I can go to Trader Joe's
