Amazing. The penne portobello is my new favorite dish. I could not get enough of it! The sauce is so good that I was spooning the last of it up like it was soup. It is on the pricy side, but 1000000% worth it. I always have the best service, very attentive. I recommend trying the reposado espresso martini. Best espresso martini around! Great date night spot. You will not regret this place. It is a MUST. The pasta absolutely blew me away!! read more

This was my first time here. I came to enjoy a nice lunch with my friend on a beautiful day. She ordered the strawberry basil smash cocktail. I ordered the espresso martini. They were delicious and not too strong. Carolina was our server. She was very nice and attentive. I enjoyed my basil pesto pasta. The pasta was al dente, which is exactly how I like it. There was a good amount of grilled chicken that was included. The bread was fresh and crunchy. My friend said the escarole and white bean soup was very flavorful. She loved her roast beef Panini and ate the whole sandwich. It had a good amount of meat on it. I will definitely come back and try the desserts. I was just too full when I left. read more

My neighbors rave about this place so we decided to check it out for lunch the other day. The place was pretty empty so we got great service from Carolina. She made a couple of suggestions and we went with 3 of the panini's - two roast beef and a prosciutto one with soup. Both were good but I really didn't understand the hype. Maybe I need to go back at dinner and try the Italian menu? There is room to sit out front and more tables inside. It seemed dark inside but maybe that's because it was a bright, sunny day. Food was good, the service was better and the price, well let's just say we are on Las Olas. 3 paninis, 1 soup and 3 iced teas came to $70. I think I'll give them the benefit of the doubt and check them out for dinner one night to see what I am missing for all these rave reviews! read more

If you're looking for a great panini, or pizza or some other bakery item or gelato, this is the place to go for authentic Italian quick food. It's like stopping by a roadside cappo bar in Sicily and getting a quick bite to eat, then off you go for more shopping. Service was fast, the atmosphere was good. Family and dog friendly. That's my new go to when I am in town. read more

This is such a cute and neat place to dine on Las Olas. I always walk past it and finally tried it! The service is exceptional. We sat outside and it was great being right in the center of las olas where everyone is walking. The food was delicious! I will definitely come back. Loved the vibe as well. read more

Bruschetta is amazing not to be missed. Penne a la vodka so yummy! Happy new year to many more visits read more

Today we decided to stop there for lunch/dinner, it was starting to rain and we were hungry, art festival was closing, it was around 4pm. We got a table, waitress came with an attitude, asked her if the special that shows in the menu "3-6pm every day" was available. She was mean and said "no". Didn't explain why, we asked for wine recommendations, again with the attitude. Place was not busy. We decided to leave, the manager was not around. I don't know if the food is good, but your server is not happy there, and with that attitude we don't want to take a chance! You need to train your employees better! I'm giving you a 3 stars because we didn't try the food! By the way we found a another Italian place that provided a great customer service! You should learn from them, they got a 5 star review! read more

If you could give 6 stars I would give them 6. My eggplant Parmesan was absolutely the best best. My wife's meal was just as fantastic read more

My family and friends and I recently had an early dinner at Noodles Panini. We all really enjoyed our meals, especially the eggplant. Service was excellent and we appreciated the ambiance as well. This is a gem of a restaurant and we'll be back the next time we're in town. read more

I had not been here in a while and very glad I finally returned with my family. We really enjoyed our dinner! Small restaurant, so space is limited. I called and made a reservation day of with no issue. The mozzarella bruschetta is a great appetizer to share between 4 people. Also my chicken pesto pasta was great, it is a rich pasta (made with cream sauce and pesto) but is full of flavor! Service was very good and friendly staff! read more

Love! Dare I say, hands down the best meatballs in South Florida? Yes, I did it. I don't mean to offend Matarano's because their meatballs are legit too. But, seriously, if you're in FLL and want a wonderful, authentic Italian meal that's quick and not too terribly expensive, Noodles and Panini is your place. Service, as always, is wonderful, and the place is upscale and clean. This time, we have evidence. See the pictures. read more

The service the food quality and the staff were all amazing! Loved the small home like feel of the restaurant.

3 years later , we have dined many times in the last 3 years . The last time during the art festival . It has not changed . The service , the staff , the food. . Just like dining in Italy. Every one greets you and treats you like family and that's a nice. read more

4 of us went here to celebrate my birthday by accident. I had made a reservation at a steak house. However, saw this place upon parking and was drawn to it. We were greeted by Cecilia the Host. She was very patient with us as we could decide between indoor and outdoor seating. She came up with the PERFECT solution. Fabio was our waiter, he knew the menu inside out and all his recommendations were SPOT ON. Ask for him. The restaurant decor is like Italy meets Las Olas, very classy. Inside you have a clear view of the clean kitchen. You also have the option to be outside with a nice street view and are able to people watch comfortably. I can't say enough about the food, EVERYTHING WAS BEYOND AMAZING. One of the BEST ITALIAN CULINARY experiences I've EVER had. I could consume food from here everyday. You can tell everything is made fresh in house. Even the produce used, like their tomatoes are EXCELLENT. I SHALL RETURN read more

Where do I start? Went there with family, was greeted by a rude waiter. The food was mediocre, but service was just absolutely horrible. Will never go there again. Maybe try getting new waiters that are not f..... rude. Disgusting! read more

The meatballs are always delicious... Great ambiance... Especially sitting outside and people watching...

Pesto linguine w/chicken.All the right ingredients,chicken overcooked ,sauce could be thinned to show off pasta.

It has been since before the Pandemic that we have been to Noodles Panini. Every experience here has been different and all have been a great dining experience. The food is always fresh and the portions we have learned are big enough to share. All pastas are made in house and I always know that the ingredients in the pastas are fresh. Last night we sat outside and had a great dinner. We ordered the Expresso Martini and Cucumber Martini. The cucumber martini was probably the best I've had. More cucumber flavor. We split the Pumpkin Ravioli and the Clams. The clams were in a nice light red sauce and could not help to dip the crunchy bread in the sauce along the way. Great portion on the clams and the ravioli had 6 tasty pieces. So fresh and could of stuck to that as an entree. We decided to split the Penne and Portobello Mushroom entree. So delicious with oven fried tomatoes, grilled chicken, goat cheese and Parmigiana Reggiano. Again, big enough portion to split. The place was packed last night and still the service was impeccable. Sitting outside is my preference regardless of COVID or not. Love people watching on Las Olas. We will keep going back and hope to see their outstanding Whole Red Snapper on the menu again!!! read more

Food was excellent. Service was prompt. Cozy inside. The tomatoes on the bruschetta were amazing! And aunt Marion's meatball were just like grandma used to make. Eggplant rollatini was just ok- good flavor but stuffing was breadcrumbs and no ricotta. Def a great meal. read more

DO NOT GO AND DINE HERE EVER! I live on las olas.. and dine everywhere.. and never gave this place a try... decided last night I would... and get something simple... I sat at the bar and was not greeted... had a menu dumped in front of me and after 10 mins I asked "is it possible to get water" Im all for enjoying work and having fun but The bartenders and servers were beyond obnoxious with their screaming and laughing at the top of their lungs.... They were carrying on and on all around me but never asked me anything but "are you ready yet?" I guess they allow their employees to drink at work as well because one of the bartenders clocked out and sat five seats away from me and carried on laughing and screaming as she drank her martini.. while servers were served drinks in togo cups..It was just a ridiculous atmosphere. I ordered the most basic thing you could order spaghetti with meatballs, which I watched the chef from the bar microwave my food in front of me... now normally I wouldve got up and walked out but it was 9 PM and I was starving.. They charged me $34 for that slop that I could've made better for five dollars at home ... If you want good Italian on Las Olas go Anywhere else! read more

Friendly staff at happy hour. The eggplant rolatini was so very good, the sauce was fantastic, I could eat it with a spoon. Cocktails were delicious! read more

My family has been going here for years. It is our favorite spot. We love to sit outside or inside by the window. The salad, pasta, panini, bruschetta, and rollatini are our favorites. We also enjoy a glass of wine and the sparkling water. It is a great place to relax, people watch, and enjoy excellent food. Great location and consistently good food. read more

Pretty disappointing experience here. We had a reservation for 4 at 7:30 but had to wait about 15 minutes for the table to clear up. No big deal. We placed our order when the waitress arrived. She was not friendly at all - just dropped the menus, no hello or greeting. We ordered 3 items so that we would share and a bottle of wine. The food took so long to come out. We asked a few times what was taking so long and were met with an attitude. Also, one of the items brought to us was the wrong panini. We were so over waiting and starving by this point that we just ate it. The food is actually pretty good, they just lose a lot of points on the abysmal service read more

There are mixed reviews about Noodles Panini. I had a great experience! I had stellar service at the bar for wine and pasta by Shane. Friendly and willing to chat as time permitted. That's why I go out and sit at bars. Sitting alone at a table is boring. I had the bolognese with linguini. Was it the best ever? No. Would I order it again. Definitely. There was enough sauce to enjoy the delicious bread. Not very gay. That's okay. But that's Las Olas. I'm eager to come back earlier for a few happy hour treats and then a nice dinner. They also have reasonably Sauvignon Blancs from New Zealand. Oyster Bay. Kim Crawford. More that adequate for a casual meal. Yadira was also funny and friendly. I asked her if she was the owner. She asked me if I had a complaint. I say no and the she said yes. She was joking. So great 1st experience. If you follow me a 5 star review is very rare. read more

Smaller restaurant right on the main strip. Food was excellent, but pricey. Very fresh, large portions. Staff was friendly, although we felt a little rushed (it wasn't too busy the day we came). Owner (?) took the time to explain the specials for the day as well as the history of the restaurant since we weren't from the area. Thought that was a touch. read more

Noodles Panini - Caprese - Italian Near Me - Fort Lauderdale, Florida

We went for lunch and we're seated right away. The indoor dining area is comprised of a long bar and a narrow space that has about 8 tables. They also have outdoor seating. I ordered the lunch special for $16 (chicken, mozzarella panini and salad). I enjoyed both the salad and the panini. They were delicious. My husband ordered the Pesto Chicken Pasta. While he enjoyed the flavor, he didn't like that the noodles were tough. I ordered pasta with meat sauce of the children's menu for our 9 month old. The noodles were tough so I had to cut them small. Also, I didn't see any meat in the meat sauce so I'm not sure about that. It was a bit pricey for a lunch but it tasted good. read more

While attending the Los Olas Art Fair, I stopped In for a late lunch, early dinner. Due to the humidity, I drank an Absolut Spritz which was refreshing and a thirst quencher . As my entree I had a Grilled Salmon on a roll with a slice of watermelon on the side. The meal was tasty and filling. I ended with a slice (Hugh, Cheesecake Factory Portion) of Carrot Cake. The cake was so big that I had to take half home. The cake itself was delicious, not heavy either! I also enjoyed a glass of Port. The waiter seemed puzzled by my request until I showed him the menu. Overall, I have an enjoyable meal out. Oh, do not be in a rush. The kitchen prepares the dishes with time; so, enjoy your drink and the atmosphere. read more

Delicious food and great service! Our server hustled to get our drink orders in before happy hour ended which was very appreciated!

The chicken parm was also top notch and a large serving! One of my favorite espresso martinis ever read more

Noodles Panini is a combination of a local bar and an authentic Italian restaurant. It's apparent that this establishment is a local favorite. We went for dinner before a show and ordered an appetizer, entrees and dessert. We devoured the fresh bruschetta and aunt Marion's meatballs as an appetizer. The bruschetta was perfection and the meatballs were delicious. My friends ordered the evening's special, lasagna and the grilled chicken panini. The lasagna looked perfectly cheesy and I almost regretted not ordering it. I ordered the bombolotti alla nicholas and it was flavorful. It wasn't as spicy as I hoped it would and was a little soupy. Or then that, it was well seasoned and the pasta was al dente. For dessert, we ordered the carrot cake which was moist and baked to perfection too. read more

Haven't been since pre covid. Ordered chicken parmigiana sandwich for takeout. All roll and no chicken or cheese. Literally no cheese and the thinnest slice of chicken you can imagine. A side of sauce was very tasty to dunk my bread but really no meat or cheese. Definitely will not be ordering again. Total rip off. read more

I wouldn't know how this place is, but the very tall male host this morning (around 11am) was extremely rude to me because I walked up and asked politely "are you open?" To which he glared at me and stated , "look around . Do we look open?" & gave me a very intimidating, nonwelcoming stare. Completely uncalled for and not how you treat anyone. When I walked back to my car, I saw him again, and he noticed me and continued to give me these weird, threatening & uncomfortable looks. read more
