Delicious fresh and homemade pasta! This place is really great! It's so kid friendly too, we took the grandkids here on Mothers Day, and it was just relaxing after a trip to the zoo! The kids were able to play in the play area while we waited for food, you pick your pasta, sauce, and side, the kids had pasta with butter, I had rigatoni with cacio de pepe and meatballs, we also shared an arugula salad, everything was amazing! We also had mango gelato for dessert with guava syrup (it was the only gelato machine working at the time). There is pasta that you can purchase to take home also. Its colorful, inviting inside and out, and absolutely delicious! We seriously couldn't have picked a better place to take the kids! read more

Noodies - Play area - Gelato Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

On Speedway off of Campbell (where Bentley's used to be) you'll find Cere's new sister restaurant, Noodies. All of their beautiful handmade noodle options are vegan except for the fettuccine. Their delicious tomato basil sauce is vegan. I ordered a bowl of tomato basil rigatoni with no cheese, tomato basil pasta fries with no cheese, and a soft-serve tangy tangerine gelato for dessert. Ceres sauce and pasta are available for purchase to-go. Stop by: Friday - Monday 11am - 8pm read more

I got the fettuccine with vodka sauce and meatball and it was delicious. This fresh pasta is a clear winner over any store bought any day. The focaccia it came with was okay. My husband ordered the sausage sandwich and regular fries and probably was served a meatball sandwich instead. Fries were hot and crispy. We got the watermelon and lime sorbet gelato with Tajín sauce and gummies to split and it was refreshing and addictive. Will definitely be back! read more

Noodies - Watermelon and lime sorbet gelato with tahini sauce and gummiest - Gelato Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

Came in for dinner on a Friday night. Ordered two pasta dishes & they took about 30 minutes. The cacio de Pepe had a extremely gritty texture and I just really didn't care for it6/10. The tomato basil sauce was absolutely amazing with flavors just wish it was slightly thicker it was very watery wish there was double the amount. I also got meatballs that were great probably my most favorite part of the whole meal and sausage. I also wish they had kids meals but I just asked for a extra cup and split up the adult portion. The patio is small but is perfect for a summer night. read more

Though Ceres will still have a special place in my heart, happy to find that Noodies serves just as delicious homemade pasta and soft serve gelato as they do at their sister restaurant. You won't necessarily find a rotating weekly pasta special like at Ceres, but all the sauce staples are on the menu here (bolognese, cacio e pepe, pesto) plus take home pasta bundles and sauce. I decided to try one of their additional sauces on the menu and ordered rigatoni with vodka sauce plus add on burrata, and it was amazing! The sauce was a nice balance of creamy and spicy and went well with the coolness of the burrata. My husband had the bucatini with the bolognese which is his go to at Ceres and said it tasted just the same. Both pastas came with a piece of their delicious focaccia. For dessert, we had the watermelon sorbet and sweet cream soft serve gelato which came in huge portions - great way to end the meal and nice to see that they rotate gelato flavors here too. In terms of location, there's so much parking and a nice mixture of indoor and outdoor dining tables which is great. Can't wait to return for more pasta goodness! read more

Noodies - Rigatoni with vodka sauce and burrata - Gelato Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

I've been waiting for Noodies to open all year and as always the pasta made by the folks behind Ceres did not disappoint! Loved the colorful and bright interior and cute signage out front. There were a variety of fresh pastas to choose from (topped with your choice - tomato/basil, bolognese, cacio, buratta! meatball! to name a few), salad, drinks, and their famous soft serve gelato. Todays flavors were sweet cream and tangerine sorbet! The perfect swirl. Located in the former Bentley's Coffee location Noodies also sells Ceres pasta to cook at home. It appears they will be open until 8PM most days so us Ceres lovers can finally get our carb fill after 3PM! Yay! read more

First time trying this place, and it was awesome. Fettuccine was not available so I'll have to go back to try it, but I ordered vodka sauce rigatoni and it was amazing. The mango swirl for dessert was also very, very good. Looking forward to going back and trying out more of their food options, as well as rotating gelato flavors. read more

I finally got the chance to try out Noodies and I am so impressed! They have their freshly made pasta sitting in a clear case for you to see right when you walk in, and this got me really excited. Their menu is very simple, the main attraction is the pasta of course, so that's what I ordered along with their swirled sweet cream and chocolate gelato. Everything was delicious! You can definitely taste the freshness of the pasta, and it even came with a piece of super soft bread that was equally delicious. I ordered my pasta with the vodka sauce, which was savory, creamy, and super flavorful! I also absolutely love their gelato - it's not too sweet and super creamy as well! I also added a photo of my friend's antipasto salad because it's one of the best, most yummy-looking salads I have ever seen and she loved it! My only "complaint" is that the interior has a pretty bad echo - there were a decent amount of customers but the sound was extremely loud like I was at a club or a huge cafeteria. So I probably wouldn't come here for good conversation, LOL. BUT I will definitely come back for the food, it was excellent!! read more

Love Noodies! Can't wait to go back! I love that they have regular vegan options and occasionally vegan ice cream. The night I went in, they let me sample the mango sorbet and it was the best I've ever had! One comment: the cashier got tripped up when I asked which pastas/sauces were vegan. I know they're new and that will come with time, and I appreciate her double checking, but it doesn't inspire much confidence that your order will actually be safe for you to eat. I take comfort in the fact that it will come with time and the great team they have there, though. And I can't wait to see where they go from here! read more

We tried this place and were very satisfied! The food is delicious as well as the mint iced tea we had for our drinks. Every pasta dish comes with a slice of foccacia bread which you can dip into the yummy sauce on your pasta. I tried the rigatoni with Bolognese sauce and my boyfriend had the fettuccine with tomato basil sauce. We also both added meatballs which were so tasty. Everything was delicious and the food came out fairly quickly. My only small issues were the rigatoni pasta was a tad overcooked and the parking at the restaurant is very cramped. I would highly recommend driving a smaller car there to fit into the parking spaces! However that won't stop us from going back and trying all the other sauce and pasta combos, and maybe even some gelato! read more

Food is amazing. The interior aesthetic is fun and hip. But the noise is almost unbearable. People are yelling to their companions at lunch. The staff is screeching names for order pick up over the din and they sound irritated but I don't blame them. Noodies, please please get some fabric or acoustic panels or some sort of noise absorbent material. Love you read more

First let me say, the service and vibe of this little place is excellent!! However, the pasta was meh to me. I was not impressed with the flavor profile extremely bland and the portions are small for the price. I wanted to love this place, but sadly I was underwhelmed. read more

My favorite place to eat in Tucson! I dream about the Vodka Rigatoni weekly and drive from the east side as much as I can to come and get it. The noodles are so fresh and the sauce ratio is perfect. The Caesar salad is also the best I've had in Tucson. I take everyone who visits town here and everyone loves it! read more

We were so excited to go because of all the good reviews, but once we started eating it all went south. Every dish was inedibly salty, especially the vodka sauce which I couldn't even take more than a few bites of. My sister's pasta wasn't cooked all the way, and some pieces were still crunchy. When we let the staff know about how salty the food was, they said they would see what they could do, and then proceeded to ignore us. Eventually we went to ask what was happening and when they said they couldn't do anything we asked for a refund on the vodka sauce, which they did give us. I'm not exactly sure what happened because every review I see says the food and service are great, but we definitely did not experience that. read more

Yummy pasta. Came here with a friend on a hot day and it hit the spot!! Lots of seating in the bright and colorful indoor area. Service was fantastic too, everyone was so nice. Plenty of parking, plus a cool mural on the outside of the shop. Super convenient location for any college students out there. read more

Every time I eat here it's delicious. I love the pasta fries the vodka version is my favorite. I'm obsessed in general with their vodka sauce because it has a good kick to it. Their bolognese and antipasto salad are also some of my favorites. I love that they change the gelato flavors every week. I've tried so many good ones like cannoli and the ube and taro twice. read more

Good food and friendly staff. This noodle shop allows you to choose a noodle type, sauce, and protein. It all comes served in a large cup and ready to eat. We ordered mac and cheese, Rigatoni Pasta, Fettuchini Alfredo with meatballs. The food was great and the service was excellent. I look forward to coming back. Cheers! read more

Super yummy, fresh pasta! You get to choose which pasta you want and the sauce. I got the fettuccine with tomato basil sauce. I think it needed a little cheese and some spice. Portion size was really large , so great value for the price. Great fast casual option for Italian food (the interior is also really fun and family friendly) - I would come back! read more

Tried the cacio e pepe with fettuccini, pasta was very fresh and the sauce was light. Portion was large, environment was clean and staff was friendly. The Italian sausage was good but I personally am not a fan of fennel which was a little overpowering. Otherwise, definitely recommend! read more

Really, really good! High quality, super fresh. But I wish they had more vegan sauce options!! Vegan pesto would be amazing. Gnocchi as well

Late post so my timelines might be off. First for the good - they have amazing handmade pasta and sauces, especially the vodka sauce! However, while the staff here is very nice, they must be sorely untrained - there are only 2 very basic things that must be done at this simple restaurant concept and one is to boil pasta and make sure it comes out al dente - simply and quickly achieved waiting for a hard boil and using a timer and two is to put enough sauce on the pasta. They hit neither at the last visit and I spent $50 on dinner for 2 people and 2 pints of gelato. The last bowl of pasta I received so mushy with so little sauce it was like tasteless baby food. What a horrible waste of delicious craft ingredients! I switched mine with my poor, kind husband who will eat anything - even he needed to take a trip to the fridge for fresh Parmesan to finish it. I ate his that had a better balance of sauce and pasta, although it was still quite dry, and overdone. Not worth my carbs, calories or money! I have had excellent pasta here, but the staff seems totally overwhelmed and I don't trust them to try again especially since I wrote to them directly to remedy this issue before posting and they never replied. I even reminded them of my concern after I didn't hear back cause I understand places get busy - still no reply. I'm very disappointed since I have been a loyal customer to Ceres, and also Noodies, until this point. I'm going to wait for Ceres to open back up - there the pasta has always been consistently good, staff friendly, trained AND they have weekly specials!! If you're craving fresh pasta this summer, I recommend picking up uncooked - then following instructions to make it yourself at home or eat it there so you can return it if it's not made right. Buyer beware of to go orders!!! The inconsistency at this place is annoying and the lack of response uncool. I'll be missing their pretty amazing gelato (and sorbetto and I think vegan gelato too?) since I won't be back. The consistency from the soft serve machine is like a cloud, although some of their flavors are a bit light on the punch, the sauces and combinations are typically sublime!Last week was my absolute favorite combo with chocolate and raspberry sorbetto (tasted like sherbet I think it had vegan milk alternative)! Only once did I really dislike the strawberry sorbetto since it was so sickly sweet making it taste like artificial bubble gum somehow and completely drowning out the matcha it was served with. read more

Very cute. Kids enjoy their frozen yogurt. Also restaurant was clean and tidy. Friendly service.

Love the fresh pasta. Super tasty. There's a kids corner so it's super family friendly, some littles were brought with us. I love that it's a mix and match menu, so as a bigger group you're able to try everything. The only thing I wish is that there were a few extra add ins for the pasta, but good to keep it simple! There's merch- did I buy three dollar stickers? YES I did. read more

Alright let's get down to it, by unpopular opinion, the food was honestly overpriced, it tasted good, but not to the point to bring me back. I'm glad I tried this spot, but it did not stand out. I spent 42 dollars for a sub and a bowl of pasta with two meat balls and two drinks. I felt like I was missing the soup and salad from Olive Garden at that point. read more

Love CERES so no surprise I love its sister restaurant, Noodies. Ample seating inside and even has a colorful little kids corner that my toddler enjoyed. Ordering was quick and easy and received food fast. If you're gonna grab anything here, make sure it's the pesto sauce and always order the gelato (options rotate weekly). In the spacious park they share with rest of the little plaza this is located in, there's a fun mural perfect for photo opps. read more

This place is disgusting. They have no soda machine you have to buy cans instead, only water with no ice, plastic cutlery that leads almost impossible to eat with along with hard to open. The FOOD? My lord have y'all heard of salt and pepper??! And basil DOES NOT belong in vodka sauce, and burrata wasn't seasoned or served on its own dish they just plopped it in the bowl. Noodles fell apart. Me and my roommate hated it and got In n Out afterwards. Save your money, seriously. 31$ wasted read more

Love! I was a little nervous to eat a pasta dinner before a 2.5 hour stats class--would I fall into an uncontrollable noodle nap?! Buuuut, the portion was so perfect that I felt great all night! It's the same design as Ceres but inside: walk up to a counter, choose your sauce and your noodle (they have salads and other things, but to be honest, I didn't look at that part of the menu), get a drink, pick you gelato, give your name, when they holler it out, sit and enjoy the deliciousness. All the people were super friendly. The space is adorable. I can't wait for more! read more
